Shelves. but not up to the new industry s stringent safety standards. so i came to the kitchen today because we are for the very first time ever destroying product and throwing it away. you want me to bring a hammer, mallet? you want me to bring something? found all the rules and regulations on how we re supposed to do. it s a very sad day here at the kitchen. i can safely say with the dixie one, for example, we were selling 500 bottles a month. so when you go from 500 bottles a month down to zero, i mean, that s, you know, quite a bit of profit loss right there. that right there is probably, how many hundreds of bars do you think that is? it s 81,000 grams. 81,000 grams. 81,000 grams. that s a nice car. my daughter would have loved that for a car. i m anticipating and expecting that come november 1st when the new rules and regulations go into place again, ....
because the requirement they re putting us under is silly. indecisions will cost my company everything. so what are we going to do? because we can t be out of production for two weeks. i can t describe to you the fear, the uncertainty, the doubt that i ve been carrying with me for the last three weeks. clearly, we re going to have to make some decisions if we aren t going to have oil in here next week. probably not good decisions. an industry in crisis is an industry united. the cannabis business alliance is like any other industry group. however, marijuana is not like any other industry. the issues were regulations and how can we as an industry fight back on these illogical, not practical regulations. in any other instance, if you leave your firearm out, if you leave your pharmaceuticals out, if you leave your alcohol out, they go to the parent and go, what are you doing? if it s cannabis, they re coming to the manufacturers and saying, you need to protect those ....
Patients, marijuana regulars. when the newcomers and tourists flooded in, many overconsumed. i know people are concerned. one of the things i m frustrated with is people thinking that the industry doesn t care. we do care. yeah, there is opposition. one of the most vocal groups is smart colorado. we have an awful lot of people here in the state that are just out to make money in this business and make this industry as big as possible. but we feel that there has not been due consideration to what this is going to do to our communities and particularly our kids. those are probably some of the most uneducated comments i ve ever heard if they re really being said. the reality is, i have two children. i am concerned about kids having access to cannabis. and if you want to take cannabis out of the hands of children, put it in the hands of legal, licensed companies. ....
