0:00 thank you [Music] a man has been arrested shockingly after opening a heroin cocaine and meth storage and this is in Canada it's a good store though it's a good idea for a story dude legalize meth and heraway that's all I'm saying big business yeah what happens if we Legalize It never mind then don't they I really want to know so this is a man who had a dream make a lot of tax money maybe yeah but then we get social Decay does it make it uncool so people don't want to do it no more that could that would I think that happened to weed I'll say that man but don't people do uh opioids all the time is that the same yeah Jason writes that yeah so this man had a dream and a vision and he put on his vision board this is why you gotta support

0:50 small businesses that's right and he said he's going to open a store called the drugs store the drug store yeah a brick and mortar it is not a brick and mortar oh he was trying to work his way up but he had to start small so he he it was out of a mobile home got it I bet he had cool merch yeah he he says that he wanted to give people a safe supply of drugs that have been tested to ensure they didn't contain Fentanyl and Vancouver Police say that they found him drug trafficking in connection with an illicit drug dispensary that began operating yesterday in the downtown east side so they got they got on onto him pretty quick one day one day police police said they started father LLC does it say it in there it does not say oh man it was an S corp [Laughter]

1:40 you had a Pinterest vision board of all the drugs that he was going to sell and he was watching garyvee videos to motivate him into becoming an entrepreneur he was doing garage sales for a while starting small startup is Biz so police said they started Gathering evidence after the suspect started selling cocaine crack methamphetamine and heroin out of a Mobile Trailer parked near Maine in Cordova that's a One-Stop shop who's this guy's supplier well that was the dispensary that they found yesterday oh interesting connections um so they they basically uh seized two vehicles some body armor some Canadian currency and they say that he is banned that's what they found uh they say he's banned from returning to downtown east side as part of his bail conditions because he's out on bail and the store had bright yellow sandwich boards featuring a price

2:32 list for all the drugs which range from ten dollars for a one point which is a tenth of a gram of meth is that true I don't know [Applause] to two um to 250 for 2.5 grams of crack is that true maybe different street prices it's Canadian prices oh that's true and that's why two dollars more that's what they actually say in this article he wore a stab proof vest it doesn't say a bulletproof vest stab proof that's kind of interesting those are important because they don't have guns there right and he sold drugs from behind a Plexiglas window inside the shop and said he wanted to stay close to Street prices and wanted to keep prices as low as you could for his customers he sounds like a Robin Hood I I admire the intention he's trying to take drugs and money out of the gangs and into his pocket if

3:23 there was a market for him that would be it right he wants to provide safe drugs that doesn't have fentanyl to the marketplace there's definitely a market for I just don't think it's legal yeah I don't know anyone that's tried fentanyl because they always die yeah yeah it's got to be like one of those secret restaurants like a speakeasy yeah a speakeasy book for drugs so there's a bit of a turn in this story he told Vice news that he planned to get caught oh ████ he goes I wanted to because I'm like that villain on Batman that's right yeah because you played into my tricks now I have you exactly where I want you and I'm in jail yeah it's phase two of that oh so phase two I waited a long time and then I get out of jail that's exactly it swag watch you exactly but he's not on bail well so he

4:15 says he wants to launch a constitutional challenge arguing that prohibition has created a toxic supply of drugs that's killing Canadians that's not you need to be arrested yeah I have no idea but a lot of governments don't want to get into this business right because it's just dirty so it's like I mean there's some Scandinavian countries that are probably like you could shoot up here and we'll help rehabilitate you you know but like I don't think that s███'s gonna work here no nah probably not but that's that's kind of it's very pervasive across our border and Canadian border right because they are dealing with fentanyl the same way that we are yeah and people are you know even like some prescription medications that are being sold illegally have been found with fentanyl wow so yeah it's been killing University students and stuff

5:05 like that I always wonder if like if I just have an insensitive angle but like the problem with fentanyl stems from the problem of the drugs in the first place so it kind of seems like they're tackling like a level above when they should just be like eliminating the route but then again easier said than done I'm not addicted to this ████ yeah right but also it's a lot of the times the focus is on like hey you know ████ these guys for selling drugs and all this stuff right yeah but at the end of the day like if they had no buyers they wouldn't sell it so how do you deal with the addicts how do you deal with people to not even get there in the first place what's happening with social Decay where people feel the need to self-medicate so much so then that's no one's answering that question but it's always been a war on drugs and it's like yeah you need to stop the supply but also if there's no demand and there's no Supply needed but

5:56 don't you think if you just tell kids in school that drugs are not cool actually they're not cool it made me more Curious I think I think it was I think it works when the guy's saying it is cool yeah it's never happened or like a guy who's like a real scumbag and he's like dude drugs are cool I don't want to hear from that guy that's a deterrent we gotta have more of those guys the Dare had bad casting yeah yeah it really did they really did sometimes a cop will come in and you're just like oh it's like God and it's not even like a cool dirty cop I think they changed the Dare program because no longer there anymore and I think they announced this ████ to DEA which is hella funny does it really yeah it's like dead [Laughter] let's make it more uniform yeah yeah so it's like a Jamaican dare yeah

6:46 okay you try to fact Jack yeah but yeah it is true that like it's just like the abstinent Outreach like they brought out people that look like yeah you guys ever had the um is this going to be real bad for you yeah yeah you guys ever had the great program which which one was that it's like gang resistance education or whatever we had we had that and we had dare because gained recruitment in our elementary school was happening like from fourth fifth grade oh wow so then we had this like former gangster lady can't come in and her stories like dude she gets PTs in the middle of her lectures and superheated right talking about her Rivals and all this ████ and I think all the kids at the end of each lecture would just get riled up from her

7:36 speeches yeah and want to join a gang yeah yeah it was like it started off as like you don't want this life you don't want to do this and toward the end it was like and then we ████ this crazy and you're just like in third or fourth grade like damn that's like that's cool you don't think it's cool to hear from these guys about drugs wait there it's a collab dude it's ████ Ronald McDonald and ████ clue yeah that's the clue guys the ████ take a bite out of crime remember that yeah yeah McGruff a golden doodle that's what it looks like who's the dare I think it's chocolate lab I think he's a chocolate lab is he yeah who's that girl like that I don't say that their shirt is pretty fresh I've never seen him before you know it was one thing that was effective was we had the uh the abstinence like

8:28 team come to our school and a guy literally told us that he got uh he got herpes from getting head in Hawaii he was just bragging you're bragging dude but like he was the guy to make sure to tell us that like hey even if you're not having all the way sex you could still get an STD and that actually did kind of affect us yeah yeah yeah we were like oh man I thought there was like a workaround have you guys ever seen that video of those guys at like a school and they're just yelling like virginity is I love that hold up opportunity it's cool oh come on it's like an arm thing they're trying to get the crowd hiked yeah and they're just on stage it's cool yeah it's like the whole straight edge movement like you're supposed to be absent no drugs women are distraction brother you got to keep your eye on the

9:19 prize okay men are weak to the flesh that's what they said that's it baby I love that stuff man [Laughter] do you think he dropped some gems in there though yeah I think yeah virginity is cool dude I believe that he's a virgin yeah what up that's my favorite part all the kids there they're like yo they are they're like if you don't

10:09 believe it they don't believe it yeah his voice is cracking while he's single dude it's like the pointer Brothers it's like that kind of deal if you guys were a part of that panel what would you do it's Cody Cove maybe I wouldn't be able to like stop laughing that's tough yeah it's like if we were invited to go help some kids and all of a sudden that ████ starts happening I'd be in tears dude I wouldn't be funny dude ████ I mean it's weird like to be in the position to tell kids not to do something is hard because by the time you're at the age that you care about telling them they won't listen to you yeah too old I also think that they're they're treating teenagers like toddlers yeah they're trying to manipulate them with this like rally it's like just

11:07 come on come on come on come on there's like a grandpa in the back like he's like trying to tell them it's like down middle up yeah that's what happens when you're not self-aware unfortunately yeah yeah yeah you can't tell everyone's like this guy sucks you think he was riding this and planning it like all right and at the end we're just gonna hit him with the virginity is cool we're gonna roll them up and they're gonna ████ believe and everybody's gonna stay a virgin that's why I was like it's not cool I think like the more effective thing would be like the the adverse is uncool like that's easier to express negative reinforcement tell us you got freaking blisters all over his

11:58 dick from just getting head yeah it's terrifying like that sucks yeah and then you show them what uh herpes looks like you're like oh honestly Google Images is the best app to this tool let's do it imagine though instead he's like blisters on your dick not cool come on come on hahaha that's my favorite part itching it's a good flooring foreign
