Morning thanks for joining us today we're going to continue our discussion with council president no I'll. Take one little quick minute here Toys for Tots drive this afternoon in the parking lot . Drive easy to do bring your toys drop them off say. They're from 2 to 6 this afternoon we like to see. We always have members of the United States Marines down there Semper Fi and if you don't have toys to give We'll take your cash just to make sure that the kids in need here in the central California have a Merry Christmas so anything you can do to help we will preach it all right we've been trying to clarify what happened yesterday. I think we did so I hope you've heard because we're not going to go over again thank. You know exactly what happened yesterday so there's just one little thing we want to hear so Clint now as you mentioned before we were going to break the same day the city council voted to ban marijuana sales they also hired this pot consultant and you said a stand simply began the road to the repealing of pot ban which happened yesterday or started the process to happen so my question is this pot consultant. Qualifications Where does one go to find a pot consultant that's a great question that's why I asked it and I'm glad you asked that you know the. Reality is that you can get a consultant for pretty much everything yeah and I'm telling you right now if whomever you hire if their application is not printed on hemp fire them immediately no actually the. This is a thing I mean there are industry professionals all over the country that do this I mean other states you know Washington and Oregon and Colorado have been down this road and so there's been a lot to it's been recent So I mean obviously situation changing there constantly but there's there's precedent there's things the best practices things that we can learn from what other cities and states and counties have have already been through and so we sent out an r.f.p. Request for proposal I know it's bureaucratic mumbo jumbo we sent out this our p. And it's got if you put an ad out for a month consult an ad out for it mean you must you must be conversational high times or something no it went on the city website. And so we had some respond and so they're going to I'm not involved in the selection of the consultant the bureaucracy will handle that but there were a sit series of qualifications they have to be a response to the quality. The demands of a great big American city that wants to do it right and so they have to understand market trends they have to have written regulations they have to so they they have to know what they're doing or else they're not going to get hired and so when nobody's resume would say like oh I've done this in 17 cities yet and it really don't if they can't provide those references if they can't provide that. Background and. Perience they're not going to get hired and then when they do get hired they have to sit with city planners and they have to sit with the people that that that run city hall and they have to figure this out what they're got the service they're going to provide it's not political it's nuts and bolts that's it you know what do we do in terms of tax what do we do in terms of location what do we do in terms of how many of these sell it consultant for example would help the city identify certain zones where pot sales could be permitted correct that's exactly this would then correct me if I'm wrong but this is they're not doing this pro bono this will be a paid position absolutely you know what you have you had $100000.00 dedicated to this right yeah $100000.00 it ended up being I had to compromise I always have to so this part consults making 100 grand no 500 we save some taxpayer money Ok All right we'll Ok so do you know how many applicants you had I'm just kind of curious I have I don't know exactly I've heard everything from 7 or 821-513-1415 I don't I don't know the exact number because they're not applying to me look right I want to be as far away from this is possible that you know this has to be something now I mean look I'm a policy maker that's what the council does where policymakers we set the policy and then the implementation take place city government goes and does it elsewhere and so that's where I'm at I want to be at that $30000.00 foot level and then let the professionals handle it with the nuts and bolts of it not for you or for you what we're like What are your top 5 questions you would have for this guy right right now guy or gal what No Ok You know I would want to know what didn't work in another big California city take me through San Diego what didn't work and then I'd say what did work and then I would say you know it is more necessarily the merrier how do we. Obviously we're we're going to license operators as a a number of them how do we. Use the money that comes to the city to ensure that there are to further stamp out black marketeer and could could this consultant theoretically help the city craft legislation to say where the taxes go or how to even write legislation for the tab under Prop 64 sky's the limit I mean it's a pallet he could say hey we're taking all this money or put into drug treatment program any penny we get goes to help the homeless any penny we get goes for a new swimming pool that you know whatever park I so it's sky's the limit and we control our own deaths so and again we welcome your questions Council President Clinton living here 490-5858 with John what's the end game in all this Clint obviously disk the vote was taken yesterday I know the wheels of bureaucracy moved the least lowly in any government this is not a knock on the city of Presidents is any government sure so we're do we go from here obviously the consultants in place you got to hire the consultant when does this become the law of the land it will I grant it is not going to happen after just before January 1st because that's when it becomes legal statewide so when conceivably best case scenario will we see medicinal marijuana and all the legislation in place here in Fresno before you leave office oh yeah Ok so I think if we move at lightning speed 90 days 120 days that fast 3 or 4 months I mean really it's boilerplate stuff it's already written that it's all to needs to tailor it to your plate stuff but as contentious as this issue has been prior to yesterday's unanimous sure you think it's going to move that fast Oh sure I mean it's and if some would say that would be and right when I gave you would you accept that no I'm not naive and it's not like we're putting a man on the moon or or a woman I mean we're not putting a person on the moon it's just it's just it's a land use its land use law but it but we have to get it right true but it's land use and no disrespect to. Members of local government but you're all very protective of your districts so it's my district needs this or can my district have that and there in the infighting may muddy the waters a little in my opinion no and I think you're probably right so and so again if you want if you want to retract that 90 day projection No I think that it will go I mean they're going to put it together and be back to us in 90 days oh Ok We're going to over $120.00 there Meron board the mayor cannot be on board and $7.00 Oh well if it continues to be $70.00 you think it will continue I mean there's a long is as long as the forces for regulation maintain 5 votes there's nothing he can do about it what do you get for when he veto I don't think you know in law he can veto for you can veto I mean he says he's stuck Ok Ok but that does not prohibit mayor brand from lobbying for votes one way or the other oh yeah you sound like somebody who's worked in the mayor's office for a number of years I I you know was an employee at City Hall I've covered local governments and states in my 20 years in the broadcast business so I just I don't know how it works that mayor is very powerful and the mayor Lee brand is like I've always said is the right guy in the right place at the right time sure he's very cautious He's very pragmatic he's very intelligent and I think that Mayor Brown has is isn't one of these put your head in the sand guys he wants to get this right and I feel very comfortable saying that the mayor wants to get this right and along those same lines should Mayor Brown have issues or concerns he won't hesitate to raise them absolutely the guy is is he's running a tight ship down there and he won't I mean obviously his administration's going to crafting this stuff and so he's he's going to put his his fingerprints on it and his fingerprints are sober and they're intelligent and they're pragmatic so it'll be good I'm glad I'm glad that he's there and conceivably you know obviously no one knows what the future holds as far as politics or anything else is concerned but conceivably if this legislation isn't acted and does. Bring financial benefits to the city of Fresnel it's up to the purview of the mayor's office to say how that money spent sure they write the budget. Cuts that John Yeah let's get a couple of calls a people was very patient for 905858 if you want to get in on the conversation have any questions a lot of questions about this trick you're on k m j Hey John thanks for taking my call Yeah there's there's no sense in this man that's at all whatsoever right listening to this guy's exhausting and. I want to know who's pulling the strings because there's somebody is pulling this guy strings to make this he said so and so often beginning that he wanted he wanted for recreational use that was the goal and then it's not going to get to that it's medical marijuana which is fine if it's a medicine that feels like medicine because recently not treating it like medicine but somebody is pulling his strings in this town I don't know where all this marijuana is going to come from because nobody's legally filling it in in Fresno County unless the goal of all this is to allow greenhouses to go up in every Allman or church around Fresno County Well it's not just that Patrick there are locations all over the state that are exploring options for the care the commercial cultivation of cannabis and if that's not happening Washington State I think one of the complaints I've heard is it we're going to have maybe too much marijuana because of all these people that are looking at the cultivation aspect of this you know it's not hard to truck it in different enough to grow it here and this is a good place to grow and I would think you know. I think that's exactly right and I think Clint must be talking to people who are playing on doing that exact and I think he's come out and say Actually we're getting who's pushing him to do this because somebody is pushing him to do that So Patrick you had your say Clint you're response who's pushing your strings Why are you doing this I'm doing this because I believe in. So you are not getting back handed deals people who put money in your pockets are not getting pressure from elsewhere saying we need this and we need this now you know Patrick let me ask you a question and I Why is it so hard for you to believe that Clint just just doesn't believe in this when the whole country is moving in this direction it's not just him. You know it's just money it's all about money but I mean but the whole I don't have an attitude of America is changing on this moving rapidly dates are passing I don't know I agree I agree I'm not naive it's not going away it's here to stay there's no question Why can't why can't just be like the rest of the country's just changing his attitude like everybody else. I mean I suppose that's true but I just a little concern and outrage that it's all of a sudden in Fresno we were all against it now all the sudden rolling in like what I need but the people in Fresno would like to think that the people of Fresno voted for it you know the Patrick look there were some people who were on the other side of this issue and like I said Good people can disagree they got up and said you're corrupt. And you know it's when you don't agree with with a politician you I mean look I think that the Clintons are completely corrupt and I think which is probably true but I think that you know that Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder and Obama they're all completely corrupt So I mean I can understand how you may think that something you disagree with this is totally corrupt but the reality is I have always been a voice for this I have always been a voice I mean I've never voted for eminent domain there are things that are very dear to me I come from the libertarian side of the Republican Party and there are things that are very dear to me and out so I believe that I am making a principled stand and you know what if I failed everybody just drive down Hanford and get marijuana so it's not like it or have it delivered to your home I mean I'm trying to do what I believe is the right thing to do I talk with people in the industry as well as people who are against it because that's my job but you know for you and for people who come to council on and hurl that word at Mena you know it's you know you for every word I never use that word I didn't call you corrupt and I'm not against it you're missing my point certainly I didn't call you corrupt but you said somebody pulling his hair trigger yes somebody stealing a string somebody and that's around here why can't he just be a libertarian guy who likes you know freedom. The freedom is there ready that's not the issue you know as I'm sure you're making you know I'm not trying to make you have to back out if you have to say why is this so hard for you to believe we have a lot of conversations with Chinese libertarian This fits right into libertarian philosophy well and gentlemen Patrick thank you for your call a foreigner I know 5858 there's one thing that solves it absolves all this data that will get to that Euro 5858 if you want to get in on this.

To. Welcome back a brusque in sign in with John brusquely I am not in for Christine and his son we're joined by Fresno City Council President Clinton Olivier and before we went to commercial break I said you know. Allegations of you know who's pulling one strings or the cynicism that follows politics there is one thing that clarifies cuts through and eliminates anything of those accusations transparency as long as there is open everything's out in the open everything's on the table no one can say I see gotcha because it's all out there and. As contentious as this issue was I challenge anyone in this city to point fingers the vote was unanimous there wasn't a dissenting vote on the Fresno City Council yesterday on this issue so how can you point to one member of council or the other to see if it's unanimous well it's like I said and this was this was rumbling this is rumbling this year and underneath it all this was what was going to happen but you just tweeted it but you have to get going to happen you get why people Levy these accusations because of the cynicism of government right now absolutely and it's a shame because you know yesterday like I said before at the end of this vote people on both sides of the issue stood up and applauded and they were they were very pleased with with watching their city government work and you know what I maintain this look I meet with everybody I do home visits to my constituents I am I am I am meeting with people in the neighborhoods constantly and they all have my all my constituents they can call me on my cell and I've always been this way and you know what yesterday you saw the city government of Fresno California work for you and you know what I am a libertarian I mean you know do we even really need a city government Ok but pump the brakes here. But yesterday I saw it work because I was just as much of an observer of it as I was a participant in it and it was fascinating to watch it work and the Coggs move and attorney Chime in the city manager chime in and the public get up and talk and you know the lady call me a name and it was all just part of the thing that happened and I think the result of that was the city government worked for the people who live here and I'm I'm I'm proud of that you know I've seen it work before with the Somerset apartments thing in my district and I've seen it work other times and you know what it does and it's really encouraging but you know when you're taken out. Popular stand you're going to be a lightning rod Yeah for attacks for personal attacks it call me the captain of child murderers publicly and you know you're going to be the lightning rod for attacks but somebody's Scott to stick their neck out if you want to get something done but when you say take an unpopular stand it's a stand that the majority of Californians are on your side of the majority the people of Fresno are on your side maybe I should have said controversial it's controversial but it's not an unpopular stand because it seems like the people of California and they'll say that this is what they want and you know the wheels of progress turn slowly and it's you and John you and I talked about the countries had this way anyway you know it's I mean you know anybody resisted as long as you want but it's had this was anybody think that the federal law will not change in the near future now I mean I think that's what we're going right off the if every state passes this some of the Feds still going to be against it you know Rob or 905858 Richard thanks for your patience here I can j. . Well I got was telling your screener. The problem with the sheriff being against it isn't it's hard work but it's easy money to go out and get a grow big enough that you can see from the space shuttle. I know people that aren't used the c.b. Oils for arthritis pain and they swear by it I know of a lot of hydroponics a lot of them being grown my hydroponics these people that do this for medicinal purposes they're basically scientists that know exactly what they're doing they're just not out dumping a whole bunch of things together and saying Ok There it is you call if you really want to know you talk to somebody that sentiment dissin all purpose intimate is no business and they will show you and be glad to show you what they got out there and what it's used for the cartels are going to lose because if it is legalized and legal grows there's no sense in them being in our mountains destroying them so I could us to you I don't I don't use it I don't I'm not against it I think it's something that needs to be more research because there is medicinal and helpful properties behind it that we could benefit from other than dropping an opiate pill down your throat and saying There you go relieve your pain. And you know this is you know thank you so much for calling in and talking about your people you know with arthritis that have used the c.b.d. Look this is all new to me you know I'm no pot head I'm learning all about this and I learned about the c.b.d. Oils and people are using it and retirees are used and and you know that's the reality is is that and this is how I gauge it and this is how I should I stick my neck out should a chick come out on this issue and I thought you know what I have a lot of friends it's a candy audience the people in this building have been so kind to me to every time I try the door and opens miraculously and I get in the building and I come on the air and I the audience isn't beating the pulp ot of me it's 5050 it's 5050 and so I know from listening I mean that's all I do is listen the campaign the car and sometimes I get to come on and talk to people and but they're not being in the pulpit to me if this were so awful if we're making Sodom and Gomorrah on and in Fresno the audience would have been the bellwether of that and they would have said Clint no way but unfortunately for for for some in some people's view audience on camp Jay is split maybe even 60 you know 55 percent for regulation taxation of cannabis in our community and so I think you know what I'm going to go for it because it's the right thing to do what I think even though even the people who are against it can see that they're losing the debate and that I don't know even evidence as a conservative how do you say to yourself because I'm personally against it I'm going to fight what the majority wants when that's basically a conservative argument they don't like with the majority like and I think to the other aspect of that argument John is you can see the prevailing wave all carry you that way and if there is money to be made that can in some way shape or form Clint like you said used to fund educational or used to fund whatever to enhance. The city's coffers and if it's got the regulations it's medicinal marijuana only not recreational use you have to have you know x. Y. And z. Requirements it's regulated it's strict It's only in these specific specific areas why not the city use the money or let a tech a quick break here 490-5858 mat out started her tunnel of yarn John Brodsky 1030 Liz Curtis here with the news Thank you John Imad It's spend a term that a man whose body was found in southwest Fresno on Tuesday died of natural causes a motorist traveling on California near Brawley made the discovery seeing what appeared to be an injured person on the side of the road he has since been identified as 60 year old Vance Buckman a Fresno it was originally believed he was homeless but that is not the case the coroner's office also determined that his injuries were not consistent with being struck by an object secretary of state Rex Tillerson said North Korea in its pursuit of nuclear weapons alone is responsible for tensions in the region Tillerson told a meeting of the United Nations Security Council the world should be paying attention to North Korea's actions the p.r.

Good morning John Ross you would start include Olivier talking about the debate about marijuana city in Fresno which took another step forward yesterday a cloud that's kind of watching this is just you watch the city vote against marijuana and you watch them to hire a consultant after voting no for marijuana same day now the same day and then yesterday 7 and nothing vote not to legalize medical marijuana you take another step in that direction begin the process moving towards medicinal marijuana so it looks like we're kind of on everybody yeah and now the phone lines are Ok so let's get to it what did I say. We'll find out Keith you're on camp Jay a joint you guys got a good deal going here. Applaud you for your effort in that I've been researching this for 4 years I was hired by a group of investors to give me an idea where good reentry point this industry would be I have not found one yet I'm not a user I'm not an investor but I will tell you this here's a fact people who are going to get marijuana are to get people who are going to be on the c.b.d. Already did it people are going to use marijuana or use it you're not going to change any of those statistics really by making it legal you are going to lower the price of marijuana and in my opinion after my research in 4 years we're going to see a dramatic decline in play. And so go ahead legalize it take advantage of the taxes you've got Mims and I are always calling for more money they need more money more money more money why don't you use this business model to feed them their more money they need and quit taxing the regular taxpayer and then on top of it clear why don't we get all these unincorporated areas that are outside of Fresno County that are going broke have. Gone out. And blight everywhere why don't we use this industry to help build those communities back up take the money off the top of them and taxes get affordable housing built with the money from this from this industry and lift the industry Landru it's going to land if they get the price close in collapse is that a market that to demand supply and demand. Element let it play out but in the meantime turn it in to an income producing venture for the county in the city of Fresno. Well it's beyond your purview to discuss County matters because the county is banned both recreational and medicinal correct that's right but they're. In this in another city like coaling has gone full blast in Kings County of course Hanford has gone full blast their other cities Mendota than without it now he's looking at it and I've heard that Parlier is well I may be wrong about that but the the little towns are realizing that this there's an opportunity here for job creation I mean it's this is an economic thing I agree with caller Keith about the you know who does that already and who I mean some guy got up yesterday a council and said You know I've got 2 kids in high school they know where to get it they were to get it you know so the argument that well we can get out of the hands of the children I mean it's just ban and ignore right you just have an it and then you ignore it because there's no money to enforce the campus talking like you can you can feed the police department fordable housing how much money is in this do you think you have any I don't know he also is is smart I believe him he's done 4 years worth of research because I'm like I said I'm trying to catch up and do my research but there's going to be of bubble I mean marijuana is 6 cannabis is expensive now but there's going to be a correction just like there was with dot com Just like there was there's always a market correction and after that after the 1st of the year when the state wide legislation everything kicks in you're going to see you know kind of the trickle down effect and everything else for sure we'll see a correction and it's the price is going to go down he's right about that but you know when you're a local government you don't want to set you know some of some there is that there's track record where some municipalities have set their taxes too high and they have they have ended up hurting the industry so it's just it's an economic thing but I appreciate that phone call Bob you're on camp Jay. You know how I know the previous caller mentioned about dire announced and now they do not support this is that correct. I can tell you that from what I know Sheriff Margaret Mims is opposed to any form of of cannabis use whether it's medicinal or or for adult use and I know that that Chief Dyer is completely opposed to because he was there yesterday to speak and actually the sheriff sent a spokesperson but the chief is opposed to adult use of cannabis but is is willing to sit down with the professional city staff and our consultant to talk about the form that the this and that the medicinal use will take what I'm getting here in the recent few days they've talked about the alcohol break crack down and being outside of bars isn't this just going to contribute to more people under the influence driving that's a fear of some folks I'm concerned about it I'm also very concerned about it but if there's somebody going to drive on it they're going to they're already doing it but that's but but by having a legal establishment that sell medical marijuana does not in any way shape or form absolve the law that says Ok you can smoke this stuff and you can drive the driving under the influence laws and John as you and I said last hour the laws don't say you can you can be drunk but not high it's driving under the influence it's right so doesn't matter where you get your marijuana if you are under the influence and you're behind the wheel you're breaking the law. My my point is we all have heard the stories of all these places that are selling it now yeah and we all know from just growing up in America you can get it if you want it Yeah right just like anything else so anybody wants it they're getting it if they're driving they're driving now there's fire I don't know if they're giving you I don't hear of a big marijuana drunk driving kind of problem do you I mean right alcohol you do have a big marijuana driving problem the problem is the technology's not there yet to do it and you don't write a breathalyzer for weed yet but give it time it's like anything else sure you know it we're evolving and growing as a society and things are always in a state of flux we have the benefit that states like Washington and Colorado didn't have is because we have them as benchmarks should the city council want you can look at local municipalities in Colorado and Washington State and say Ok what do you guys do what's going on there and I'm assuming whoever whomever this pot consultant is a weed czar what do we can we can we have fix some sort of you know some you know I'm title you have a back to news that you you're just I'm looking for a buzz term for my headlines I'm going to I'm going to do 3 hours a news 5 days a week I'm looking for a bus terms here that's not how I characterize it but no that's good I like the way I like the creative thought thank you but we have a marijuana czar in California they've got as our They call him a czar Yeah Bill your own campaign your morning. I don't think you'll like my assessment of this but I'm going to put it out there try to be as respectful as I can thank you. Ok. I'm a disabled vet will be a hospital they have this bill called Mare and all it's synthetic t.h.c. Now why do I bring that up by bring that up because Roland what I would call by the leaf chopped up marijuana into a cigarette form which is commonly referred to as a joint is not an effective delivery system you can roll that joint as big as they could that if you want or it's densely packed. Get as high as you want in the medical community they have set standards for a very long time now that being by the gram. And delivery systems town com Much can be delivered according to height weight and the patient's needs such as nebulizers or inhalers rescue inhalers to deliver very precise amounts of medicine needed to treat the patient you you have a problem Mr Livia with people looking at what we have come to understand as the medical standards and how medicine is delivered to a patient device what we have are in our minds about the 1970 pothead who's to open it up on screen so what I'm saying is this if if the medical community is not in control of this any any fool can go to college get a degree go pull a residency and start writing their medical marijuana strips a dime a dozen for 100 bucks a pop. You're not being controlled by the medical community this is not medical marijuana that this is this is a false good in my opinion to allow as much profit to be made to have people claim that they need medical marijuana by the leaf to get out of pain when we already have a valid product being sold that it be a part of the through the window to painful deaths called Marron all very precise measured amounts of medicine. And I think what we've got right there Ok Any comment on that point I mean I think what is it I learned about medical marijuana in this little run you've been had on this well I have learned that there are a ton of different products and the caller was talking about rolling joints but that's not what a lot of these people that come to see because it really I learned a lot from the people that have come to city council to tell their story and we just heard the caller that that rubs oil on you know their friends put c.b.d. Oil that has no t.h.c. In it but they rub it on their joints and it's been a. Miracle Cure for them now look I'm not a physician I'm not a pharmacist I don't want to weigh in on that but I've had there's been public testimony from veterans that say Marin all is rubbish and so that they need. They go to the dispensary or wherever they happen to go they have the delivery come there are you can eat it there are drops there are pills there are oil there are $100.00 different ways now there are so does that you can drink it and there are so the this is what I see I see the capitalism and I see that the the businesses are trying to find more palatable ways to deliver the medicine to the people who need it folks there are people who swear by this stuff and there are Bill and Ted out there that want to get high. But should the city it passed Prop 64 passed in the say we're not talking about medicinal we're talk about the adult use recreation everything that passed in the state last year well they say oh we already voted on medicinal 20 years a generation ago California state voters voted for the so there's obviously somebody out there who says this is good medicine and I need it and this is this is what I've done I've been blessed I have not had cancer I have I never served in combat I don't know what it's like to experience p.t.s.d. . And so who am I to say oh wait that's not medicine you know I understand his point it's a good one you know I'm sort of I it's and maybe by the legalization of marijuana those kinds of standards will evolve and we will get more precise medication out of this were a pharmacist can say this is all you need and this is all you can have well and but but it but I'm like you I know people in my life who didn't get an exact prescription like that but they were Nasi Yes because of their cancer treatments they smoked marijuana and they were they felt better they had an appetite where they couldn't eat before it worked for them without all this precision that he's talking about so you know and with the deregulation of the cannabis industry I mean you sure you've got chemists and pharmaceutical individuals that are there formulating ways to form gradations and if it's medicinal standpoint you know take a gram of this or a pill of that and they can regulate the flow or intensify it or whatever monitor you want to affix to it but better living through chemistry with less regulation they can experiment more to make more effective means where you can get the Miss no benefits of let's take a break 495858 or 807-765-8581 camp Jake timeless current in the k.m.c. a New center the search is on for 2 men who robbed a series of dairy farms in Merced said county a new study shows well educated white British parents are most likely to let their children drink alcohol by Ford.

Welcome back to processing we sat in with John. In for Christina massage joining us here in studio as he has graciously for the better part of this hour Council President Clinton and we're talking about the issue the unanimous vote Fresno City Council yesterday to begin the process toward legalization of medicinal marijuana it's important to point out that just a few minutes ago on my Twitter feed at. Sonnen a few others here along with nearly brand one of your colleagues council member city Brant says we're only getting half the story what I think he means by that I have no idea I mean look we're we're we're very good friends and but we don't see eye to eye on this issue but I was I was honored he made the motion last night procedurally to prove the. This and he did the right thing we all we all did the right thing we came together I mean I I don't think there's a coalition of 7 right I think there are 7 people who would like to see 7 different outcomes possibly and correct me if I'm wrong you don't see medicinal marijuana as this panacea this end all be all fix all for everything do you know nothing's a panacea Ok just make and I just some questions go without saying which is why you have to ask No no I mean yeah he he we sparred yesterday and his points were really good I mean he did good and. You know we're we're here and it's the morning after the dust is settling and people are replaying it in their minds and thinking about I'm not manipulating or I mean I'm telling you how I feel and the things that I think and yesterday's vote is simply a 1st step to begin a process where there will be more debate more discussion more fact finding more questions that are will be raised before the city and x. Anything into law correct that's right I mean we're months away and you know what the beauty of it is that council member Brandow is going to be able to put his fingerprints on it you know and it's going to be it's this is good it's a good thing I'm happy I'm happy to to have them involved in the process and Thank you Councilman Brandow for raising that on the Twitter which is prosecute Sonner at Matt Obstat So hey you know if you can't make it to a phone you can always tweet and we will check it out drew out the show well Joe made it to a Phones and what Joe what do you think. Well I was just hearing that guy talk about the medical marijuana and how there 'd right now it doesn't seem like there are any regulations and I've been in the medical business since it started since it 1st hit in Fresno I've been well not in the medical business I went and got my card and I wanted to be in it but no one who was having their dispensary or storefront really let anyone in or try to show them what the process they have to go to to start their own medical marijuana dispensary and so on so for a few years I just started I just basically got my medical card and just sold it like it normally was on the streets but I've seen how the medical industry is and is no regulation there is no real medical in the medical marijuana industry right now it's only in maybe Colorado but here in California even the storefronts everything is still vengefully made in someone's kitchen there's no real the testing isn't mandatory yet but that's what January 1st will bring around these places will have to tighten up. Their systems and I've noticed that. I feel that most people you go under the guise of it being medicinal when really they're just trying to get high at the end of the day and although there are great benefits from from c.b.d. And so on it's kind of overshadowed because everyone's just using it everyone's using it recreationally but calling it medical So I like that this new recreational is coming in because it's kind of it's the truth and cannabis needs to be research by a pharmaceutical company because that's where it can cure cancer naturally can actually prove help humanity more help society I'm certain people but I haven't watched don't if you watch it 1st hand I've helped some of my family members were get out and so on and who were raised in a time when can you talk about you don't do it your garbage if you if you smoke marijuana so it's all people are coming turning a new lease but in reality. Mom and Pop doesn't need to be in control of the medical industry really it's sad to say but it does need pharmaceutical money and pharmaceutical backing in order to make cannabis a real drug a real a real drug that can help people. When you know you sound like you've got experience and you're saying it most people that you deal with although they are extensively getting it from a medical purposes that you don't think that's the real reason you know you know there are very few maybe one in all honestly it's Route one in 21 in 185 percent it's. Yeah it's about 5 percent most are just smoking recreationally and they'll say oh takes away my headaches or the thing I hear the most is it takes away mines id but honestly I've I've smoked for the better part of my life 20 years or so and it gives ins I never had cannabis that takes away the Gaiety I got I've got to leave it there Clint you have the last word here have any thoughts on that oh I just I'm thinking of. You know he's talking about how the industry's going to change how. Really the sky's the limit if corporations companies doctors physicians nurses researchers are able to do more with this you know who knows who knows where the future will take us I mean look it last night was a was a small a small item in the whole history of this and they'll be a lot more to come I'll be long gone I've got 54 weeks left on council and I'll be long gone but we'll see how it turns out Clint thanks for coming in thanks Matt thanks for your help Ok pleasure John and John Brodsky Ray Appleton's Up next he's back on camera when they yours truly right how Paul 10 jumped on the came Jay airwaves sometime back and said creative tile is God would you blew the doors down in search of this incredible product that Mother Nature has been giving us for millions of years and that product creative tile is really Would you see salvia got wise to me and you thought Carrie is he talking about wood or is he talking about high all the looks like wood could people both and you have really taken to the many different lines of wood product a creative tile whether you want to walk on it you want to stare at it on the walls of the ceiling and the demand for the wood product has really changed off with the cooler weather a lot of you do it yourself hers and redesign or wanting to warm your homes and offices up with would make sure you check out the awesome new flooring room filled with waterproof core flooring material it's a new thing that builders and designers and to yourself are using because it looks .
