0:00 I will say though, if if Big Farm wants to buy eyes on JK, we will talk a lot different. [laughter] >> This video is brought to you by Fizer. >> Welcome back to another episode of the Careful Boys, where in a stunning move, President Trump considers an executive order to reclassify marijuana. >> Reclassify? >> Oh man, we're going backwards. schedule one. Right now, the idea is he'll reclassify to schedule three, but this does an executive order can't do that. You have to pass. >> Oh, right. Yeah. >> This is a ████ thing. >> What is one and three? >> It could get knock chocked down or whatever. >> Some of us can have hope. >> I like the sentiment. It's in the main a good thing that we all want, >> but this is fluff. >> What is it that we want? >> Uh marijuana to be declassified cuz
0:51 right now >> from schedule one, >> not declassified. Declassifi >> reclassified. >> Declassified. Thank you. >> You kept trying. >> You know what I mean? I'm looking for it. >> Yeah. The way that it works is like um the different schedules depend on like the harsh punishments. So like right now it's it's it's toe to toe with like ████ fentanyl and cocaine and all that ████ They haven't changed it. >> I thought it was the opposite. Okay. I see. Yeah. >> So state laws are different than federal laws, but you can still be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if you're picked up like by the feds. >> I see. Okay. >> So that's still a big problem out there. And so a lot of a lot of times when people are on the interstate even and they have marijuana in the car, if they get pulled over, sometimes they can get prosecuted for a federal crime. >> So ████ like that >> cuz like let's say you had honestly let's say you were a cop, you pulled somebody over and they had like an ounce of like fentanyl, [snorts] right? You'd be like, "Dude, this is
1:43 going to kill some motherfuckers." >> Yeah. >> Right. Let's say you're that same cop. You pull somebody, they got like an ounce of weed. >> Like do you really think the dangers as a parent? >> Yeah. Wait, no. What's correct? [laughter] Tell me what to say. Tell me what to say. Line. >> Dude, they're going to raid the 7-Eleven. >> Weed has never made anybody violent. Period. >> Yeah, but it's made them fat. So >> fat is a regular American tradition. >> Damn right. >> Fat people tend to be violent, right? >> No, cuz they can't get up their seat. >> I'm just [laughter] kidding. Yeah. No, I I think I agree with that. That's cool. Weed makes people chill. Makes them more fun to be around. The good thing about this is just that it it maybe helps with sentiment towards weed a little bit because the president's talking about this, but it really doesn't. >> Here's another good thing about it. If it gets reclassified, uh it wouldn't become legal at like the federal level. So, states still have jurisdiction on
2:33 whether or not it's like going to be medically legal to purchase for the regular blah blah blah without a medicinal what whatever, right? But what it does is it makes it easier through like things like regulation or studies for the industry to operate and do research conducted on the drug. Right? So like right now like a a a top scientist will will do the same research for like you know um psilocybins as it will for fennel as it will for weed or whatever. But now if it gets reclassified as not such like a like a you if you have this drug you're going to go to jail for life. It becomes a thing where like a research paper can can do research on it. A company that wants to like uh evolve the quality of the product and put it into like different types of forms of consumption because it's helpful then they can do it. Um more spaces or insurance companies might provide uh coverage for
3:25 old people that need CBD whether they have like anxiety, sleep apnnea or pain or something like that. So it just becomes the stigma of it becomes less like this is an illegal drug to like hey maybe there's just a little bit more avenues that we can provide this in a healthier way for our >> nation even more. Yeah, that's cool. I'm down. But you said it's probably not going to happen. >> Well, no, cuz it it needs to be done federally like through Congress. Like they have to actually do something about this for >> You don't think they're in favor of passing something like this? I think that the medicinal companies, the big pharma, doesn't want this. And so they've been blocking this for a long long time. >> That's a big big >> That's the big one. Big one. Even Even it says former President Joe Biden also ordered the Department of Health and Human Services to review marijuana's classification in 2022. And the next year, HHS called for listing marijuana as schedule 3, which the DA describes as
4:16 drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Biden admin in 2024 proposed a rule to reschedule marijuana but it's been on hold since March because there's non-governmental figures at play probably like big farmer or something like that where it's >> why do they not want it? >> Because it competes with them. So like you now you have [clears throat] what what Ryan's talking about or what you're just talking about too like people who take marijuana for pain for example or like a war veteran who you know has issues. It can maybe help alleviate some of that, but they would rather you take their drug >> because they control that market >> and that's they own it. >> Like you don't really own cannabis, right? Cuz anyone can grow it. >> There's too many individuals that can can get you marijuana now. >> And there's so many different types of strands that help with so many different types of problems. So we're talking about like physical pain, we're talking about like stress, we're talking about sleep, we're talking about food
5:06 cravings, we're talking about blah blah that like >> talking about just want to game. Marijuana does all this, but pharmaceutical companies like they have one thing per problem. >> So, you're really digging into their bottom line. >> I mean, just try to watch anything on TV right now, you'll see the problem. >> Or even like Parkinson's, right? Hasn't it helped a lot of people with Parkinson? >> Absolutely. With much a lot of stuff. But but what I'm saying is you watch anything on TV right now, you'll see the problem out in the open because every single other ad is pharmaceut pharmaceutical ████ >> and they're all trying to sell you some new drug. >> I think the biggest thing of all is depression. in terms of how like people have been able to cope with depression from like cannabis use and all that like that's a big thing because I feel like pharma had so many depression solutions that are prescribed >> that keep you lightly depressed >> that keep you Exactly. Yeah. Right. >> Like then they'll fix your problems.
5:57 >> But isn't weed the same thing though? You still have to smoke it? >> No, cuz you if you do that with Call of Duty it alleviates all that. [laughter] >> Yeah. also >> learning that they just they just found that out last year >> to get like a a a nug of or a gram of weed or whatever like versus pills for depression like the cost difference >> difference. Yeah. Accessibility >> just different >> how fast you can get it. Exactly. Yeah. >> Or anxiety. Anxiety is a huge one too nowadays. >> But they have everything patent. So like some of the stuff it just like the chemical if you break it down it looks exactly like the same makeup of methamphetamine or heroin or whatever and then they just repackage that ████ So basically they're just giving everyone heroin and meth legally. >> Yeah. >> But then um weed you can grow yourself. It's too they can't control it. So if
6:47 they can't control it they can't keep it. >> It's like a >> It's like if it's like if we came up with a car engine that just needed water. You you think they would just let that fly? >> But what what if they like um what if they like uh buy all the weed companies and then make growing weed illegal and then so big pharma could just still make >> it's not bad. It's not bad, right? But we're talking about it's sort of the same problem. Like for example, look at um energy. Like they fight nuclear energy all the time right now. Nuclear energy is one of the most reliable ways that we can get a massive amount of energy. Yeah, >> why don't they just buy all those companies, right? All that stuff. Or why don't they just implement that technology? It's cuz they're already making enough money off of the way that they're doing coal, for example. Like it it costs more money to divert into like a new thing. It's it's easier to just
7:37 keep it the established order. >> But then every but but all the money they spend on like uh fighting off like we companies and doing all this stuff and lobbying and stuff, >> then why >> I don't think they fight it off. It's already illegal. So like it's it's already >> well they'll fight you in like for example if a state's doing legislation. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. >> They they fight those like you know propositions and stuff like that all the time. Big pharma is usually behind the money behind it >> when all of the um medical like collectives in California were prop like opening up. What ended up happening was like it's okay with the state but feds would come in and bust it and then start raiding them. >> Oh yeah. these days. I think it's just like who's enforcing it? >> It's more lax. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> It must be crazy too that you can actually grow your own weed.
8:28 >> Yeah. >> Like when were you able to grow your own like prescription medicine? [laughter] >> But you make it illegal. But but the ones that people grow is it uh is not as good. No, >> I don't know. I don't know. Not >> it can't be as good. >> No, it's good. >> Did you ever grow your own weeds? >> Yes. >> Oh, you did? >> I did at Bangor. But >> it's it's not as good, right? It's not as good. But check this out. You know, sometimes you go out to a restaurant, fine dining, you buy a steak. >> Okay. >> But sometimes you just cook a steak at home. >> Oh, it's not as good, but still good as you. >> You made it, so it's bomb. >> It's bomb. >> I see. I see. >> Okay. >> Well, you could >> obviously the restaurant's better, but you made it, >> so it's bomb. >> Yeah. Okay. >> But you could you could become good. That's the difference. Cuz like you could become a chef, right? So there's people out there, they're hobbyists and
9:18 sometimes the ████ you make at home, it's way better because they don't mind spending hella money to make it that way. Whereas like commercially a farm is like, well, I got to make profit, so I'm not going to blow all this money to like Yeah, >> true. >> That's cool, man. >> Also, there's, you know, there's a the much more sensitive topic about like, for example, uh this has been an issue for the last few decades, right? Uh, if like a white dude maybe got caught by a cop with weed, maybe a slap on the wrist, >> maybe a high five that hurts them. >> Yeah, maybe a high five that hurts him. But like maybe if a black dude got caught, >> maybe they share the joint, >> the same amount of weed, maybe because it's schedule one drug, super illegal, they get thrown in jail or something like that, >> you know? So like the system also uh is potentially abused sometimes. So to reclassify it in like a manner of actual
10:11 integrity by definition of what this drug actually does, not the feeling in the thought realm that society like puts a stigma on, but just actually like, hey, uh, in your definition of what a schedule one versus three drug is relative to other schedule one and three drugs, where does the classification need to actually be? because that'll also be a direct like result of like what's the what's the severity of punishment for people that people can't abuse those things to. >> What's the percentage you guys think that is going to be class three instead of class one? >> What do you mean by that? >> I think it it I think it deserves to be in schedule three but like again we we live in a world of full of corruption and if there's like a something that's way bigger at play like big pharma then yeah we're screwed anyway. We're screwed anyway. I hate the cynical thing because but but it's just sort of reality sometimes like there's just so much money behind the big pharma lobby right
11:02 now that it's really difficult for any kind of new therapeutics like weed to really break out and like have a market share. >> It's just like with uh with vapes. They weren't going to get big until the cigarette companies owned a percentage of them and then they did. >> Yep. And that's exactly what you're talking about. But it's really difficult like why don't they just buy up all the companies? It's really difficult to get all these um you know uh MBA guys, right? Uh these guys, the corporatist cats to convince their shareholders it's really good for us to spend a s███████ of money on this when all of them would rather you consolidate all that to their to to increasing their shares. Right. So that's kind of the biggest problem with this entire issue is and and as you've seen with everything right now like >> the fiduciary >> as soon as like these cats take over
11:52 even Chipotle right they took over Chipotle now you get smaller um amounts in your bowl and you spend way more than you ever have and that just copy paste throughout every industry. >> Yeah that's why all the fast food places now have all the same architecture. You notice that >> soulless Yeah. corporatism >> when Pizza Hut looked like a hut and all these things look different. Now they just get the cheapest possible like building facades and everything so they can just replace it with whatever they have in that food group >> instead of just have individual ████ Like if you broke that roof then you can only get that roof. Now everything's a cube. >> It's crazy, dude. >> It's just corporatism. Like >> Exactly. >> Yeah. >> All right. Should we all kill ourselves or No. >> God bless America. >> Should we all kill ourselves? [laughter] Sorry. I was like, "Did you did you just whisper that in the mic?" He's like,
12:42 "Guys, should we all kill ourselves or not over this?" >> I don't know. It just sounds sad. >> This guy's like, "Blaze peas. Should we kill ourselves or not?" >> Three. >> I will say though, if if Big Farm wants to buy eyes on JK, we will talk a lot different. [laughter] >> This video is brought to you by Fizer. Get your vaccines, everyone.
