Alpha, you were a police officer. Let me ask you this one question, man. You roll up to a scene and you got a 250 pound drunk guy at a party and he wants to fight. Okay. Have you ever rolled up to a party and seen a 250 pound stoned guy who wanted to fight? No, not a stoned guy. exactly all my buddies who are cops are like i would rather everybody smoke weed because you're like hey you're going to jail throw them the cuffs and say get in the back of the in the car and they just do it you know it's they're compliant it's not a it's not a fight thing so i think it's that boon is the stone guy is usually the guy that's on the couch it's like man wow it's going down well That's the other thing. I think it is completely tragic that any police officer out there blows out a knee, ruins his career for chasing a kid with a dime bag. You know, I mean, seriously, that is that is completely tragic. You've ruined that officer's career. You've ruined you put their family in tremendous jeopardy over something that is a non-toxic substance to humans. That's like that's like saying that's like shooting people in the leg because they got carrots on them. It's ridiculous. Yeah. And you guys bring this up, Ken, because I knew what career I wanted to do. So very early on, I didn't miss with all the fun stuff everybody got. So I did try weed twice, but I jacked it up. I didn't do it right. You know, I was the real Bill Clinton, you know, never inhaled. So, you know, my buddies laughed at me. So I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to try that again. But then when I got into law enforcement, so March in 2011, my partner died, you know, happened right in front of me and two other partners. So a year later, it led to PTSD and anxiety. So the immediately... the doctor psychologist that put me on Xanax. Now I grew up in a household where we didn't even take ibuprofen. Like it was, you know, garlic, it was home remedies. You know, my mom was one of those. So they gave me Xanax and immediately it worked extremely well. And that scared the hell out of me. So I told the doctor, I go, I'm throwing this away. He's like, well, it's working. I go, that's the problem. If I become dependent on this, I'll never carry a badge and a gun again. I go, you have to find another way. And to what you said, Boone, He was against that. And I would have, it would have, when we're going through, it's, it's a workers comp thing. So you have to go with the doctor says, so, you know, there's a little bit more play in the civilian world where I threatened, well, we either find something that works or I'm going to go to another doctor and you lose all the money. So we found a way to mediate it. And, you know, I got off of it. Uh, yeah, they wanted to solve it with just pharmaceutical medications. It was crazy. Yeah. We're going to, we're going to have on, uh, on sit rep eventually very soon here, we're going to have on another person that was in that documentary that is very near and dear to my heart as well as Boone's heart. And that's a mama Lutz. And she's going to come on and tell her story about, you know, those drugs. And then, you know, she'll tell, we'll talk a little bit about cannabis and that because she was a part of that documentary and her story is absolutely gut wrenching and heartbreaking. And, you know,
