are involved in trying to help heal other people something that comes growing out of the ground you know something that's natural should have always been never prohibited don't ask me what that's all about why aren't we supposed to have things that are good for us actually free countries are supposed to think that way and do things that way i am will be wilson this is all the life and i have a panel of people here that i'm looking forward to getting some discussion with but as you can see in the background i got a picture of bruce totally in and that's him inc and is a good thing you guys

to that will bring up some background information if i move around here you can see his name right there you see bruce right there you know hey bruce it's good to hear yeah it's well pete wilson we're all here we got kind of panel going but we're looking at some of the things happening where we're creating new products right yes that's what should be on your show well and we are getting a lot of know good yeah bamboo is a product that grows here quite adequately extensively here in the northwest and it's a product that really happen with medical cannabis research merely you think that it's going kind of where king county now seattle is now legislated to or excuse me for the mayor of seattle might begin legal medical cannabis and might begin has led the way kind of open a window up that i think is now as i've mentioned before could be inspiring king county to create a cannabis food act food handling act when the wellness housing act which means it could be a monumental legislative initiatives produced and at the county level and in a sense or years ago when they had  methadone medical it was recognized by the county before it was recognized as legal least in this jurisdiction it seems to be based on things like county jurisdiction am i right i mean things like this what if the counties kept trying and as the medical becomes why it's almost like it's not going to go away this time it's not going to have prohibition because it's considered medical right i mean medical marijuana and medical is not how you people have to pay for it to get the medicine they need you know it's provided holding of our economy kind of like two hundred years ago when help was used to make the sales the ropes the paper the clothes back then that this circumstance is like recycling of time in history again where we've got global defaults and the banks trillions basically stolen by bankers and basically they've gotten away with it so basically there's the quickest most efficient way to rebuild an economy is use the very means for which it was founded on the first place  which the second largest export two hundred years ago currently was careless with one or one thing used for sailing transportation shipping oil you know oil lamps you name it all that stuff i mean they may have smoked it too we don't know but the thing go ahead because what you really wanted to remind everybody you know the last recession you know the president elect promised a chicken in everybody's pot you know and i think the president now should promise pot for every chicken and also they had a thi pot right and now we should promise pot for every check in and also they had him for victory back during world war two now we should have victory for him victory him for victory victory for him yeah you're right bruce as far as people getting networks now two year and a half ago on all the alive i interviewed the founder of canada hemp go he's the largest lobbyist in canada for many years on alternative medicine we had a great show and it was a very interesting to be introduced to the canadian means of how they're doing their lobbyists a sample candidate is charged it's the key to doing lobbying in the canadian parliament and that this pursuance is to do network canadian american products together and it combines sense meaning there are so many different ways that you can create trade  exchange that in a sense it has nothing but capability of sustaining our nationwide north american economy i mean right i mean it in network you were mentioning that that's the key to what hemp is all about it wants to network helping a lot in bring out the different political aspects or things that need to be bought out to help these places stay in business and stay where they're at and be safe  bruce one last thing you want to tell everybody we know how to get a hole you know that's bruce had him in there just temp dot com right ok and you're going to be in seattle or you're going to

products we are not growing transporting are distributing medical marijuana and we will not be merchandising paraphernalia or working in the entertainment education educational seminars videos

because of the labels and how to read heart we got people and hawaii and beverly hills they getting wind of these candles they said let's do one with the red heart in it so now we're going to standardize the line in the first batch you may get a teeny weeny green one the paradox ok paradox or maybe it's one of these but you will get a big one and and there's work retail value at least i'm going to go low and say worst case scenario eighty dollars where the gemstones and we had it up and we were coming up with some much higher numbers but you is about twenty dollars a kilo so this could be two hundred dollars ok so not all of them are going to be the same size so someone will be up to two hundred two hundred dollars yes significantly you're getting a good deal guys and so now we want to standardize a line that will launch it and we're going to have an entire line we're going to burst stone and candles and by the way you can order a customized candle for your husband for your wife and we can put in anything you want think that's going to come later but just keep that in mind all these beautiful gemstones from you know you know these stones too you know these big heart i was just ruby you get an order from boy i believe right yeah and he gave me this this really is going to be appraised for insurance purposes three hundred dollars ok so that will be in the next generation candle and let's talk about that room because we don't want to and this is for the order for correct we have three stores and one of my one of our partners girlfriends ok so he bought one and yes and we have three stores that want the now they can't get some of the original ones because there's all these fifteen hundred is like but will be standard so it's a two carat red pill so your point is you could in the future if you want to put in the emerald we could put in the emerald and it can and will know one of the interesting things as you can see we're rolling out very very unique artistic beautiful products on the canvas amazing and interesting enough they actually predicted that in this series of ten b wrote they said the cannes domains will be in russia because they expected the movement to start and grow in russia where there is about three million small forms there and by the way it produces about sixty seven percent of all the food and russia on small family gardens so it's on the margin most marginal lands a complete opposite of what the big agribusiness model is because we do everything perfectly in this world perfectly backwards so we will have the finest most  return to marijuana inside america's pot industry once upon a time before the marijuana trade became a homegrown enterprise and the american pop business exploded in northern california's emerald triangle huge amounts of the drugs were smuggled into this country from overseas these well financed sophisticated operations were not only illegal and dangerous they were immensely profitable this is the remarkable story of one of those smugglers bruce  jewish boy from florida who became nothing less than the west coast marijuana kingpin a certain point i wanted to be a big marijuana smuggler and i wanted to bring as much marijuana as i  creating and running one of the biggest drug smuggling operations of all time we saw ourselves as market pirates modern day swashbucklers what about the fact that it's illegal outlaw our wasn't that outlaw ran his massive drug conspiracy from right here in the san francisco bay area pearl and smuggled more than three hundred thousand pounds worth of marijuana into the u s the street value on those drugs approached one billion dollars and most of his pot slipped right underneath one of america's most famous landmarks the golden gate bridge and give me an idea of how much money was coming in to your marijuana smuggling operation every hear about fifty million in the massive operation provides a vivid snapshot of the marijuana business during a bygone era it was the one nine hundred seventy s and eighty's writers of the lost ark was the big movie the san francisco forty nine ers were well on their way to establishing a football dynasty and bruce pirlo and was smuggling hundreds of tons of marijuana right under the noses of federal authorities probably when recruited a small navy hiring boat captains and their fishing vessels from the nearby fleet anchored at the northern california town of moss landing which had been hit by hard times they were fishermen until i came along came a more lucrative this enterprise they much for fish for fish it was way more lucrative and more fun it's not like you're out in the middle of nowhere here no in fact when our boats came in they were looking like a fisherman coming back from a fishing trip getting ready to come into port but we had marijuana secretly on board we were very sneaky so this boat right here this is obviously not one of the boats that you use but how much marijuana could you put on a boat like that based on the size of the hole were startled by and jumped in the amount of pot on the street this was the man assigned to the case special agent chuck lagging we knew that there was marijuana coming in we knew it was on the street we knew somebody was bringing it in we had no where it was lagging didn't know this person was smuggling in enormous amounts of pot he was making a million dollars a month no question in my mind  marijuana supply came mostly from south america one by one he sent his fishing boats to a tiny village near the town of her father in colombia the marijuana was flown in by probably wins colombian partner seen large bales from the country's pot growing region hundreds of miles away when they were loaded on to planes fly it over three mountain ranges and drop it on to the west coast of colombia where it would be gathered and stored by village one following boats loaded up in colombia they set sa bay three weeks later they arrived filled with tons of hot air to pass under the golden gate bridge this is the time they're going to bust you this is when they're going to bust you everybody is on full alert it's the moment of dock and the boat reloaded fuel and go on it fifty seven minutes less than one hour how did pearl win select the crowded maritime harbor of san francisco bay to offload his drugs he did what any self respecting executive would do he hired a research firm i told my was writing a book on smuggling they compiled this entire research project for me and what i found is that where most of the bus the courage and coos bay oregon are down in san diego the two border border of canada and the border of mexico so that's what i knew to look in a place like san francisco because that's where there was no heat san francisco bay was wide open with pearl owens operation in full gear maybe another two hundred yards that way the smuggling scheme was a one like a fortune five hundred company with pirlo in as c e o in one thousand and it alone i spent half a million dollars every week the entire year on the business paying for the marijuana itself buying houses for stash houses buying speedboats buying new trucks finding new docks always making your business more more more sophisticated and expanding more and more ok so you've got fift million going in and out of this business that i need to deal with somehow you create an entire business on just what to do with the cash so we've got lawyers flying money to the cayman islands all the time for us it can take more than ten thousand cas out of the country of course here i am talking to make a go of marijuana of smuggling i'm sure you figured out a way to get five hundred that of a country trail in those days everybody was going to the cayman islands with suitcases full of money they didn't care when the west coast operation would thrive for four years but the beginning of the end came when f b i agent landing got a phone call it was another agent in mendocino county who'd been given a notebook found at a local denny's organization the book was the key to everything we found he would have financial reports and i couldn't imagine that anybody who was somewhat confident running an organization would walk away and i just want happy got out when smuggling routes have long since dried up chuck landing is retired and bruce probably when who was really leased from prison in one nine hundred ninety one says he's moved on to other more legitimate endeavors knowing what you know now knowing that you went to prison for nine years as a result of this would you do it again my gut reaction is yes i would live my life exactly the way i live that it was a lot of fun marijuana could well turn out to be the most dangerous drug that is in use in our country today actually recall the destroyed question big question things like the war in vietnam or the gulf war sometimes you feel like you stepped into allison in wonderland you've gone through the looking glass well the question legalize marijuana appears to be gaining some momentum and it's not just these hopping on the bandwagon our next guest is a republican activist and married mother of two in that she is arguing that marijuana legalization is a conservative issue jessica corey is a former press secretary for a republican member of the senate and was named one of colorado's most influential perfect well the question legalize marijuana appears to be gaining some momentum and it's not just hippies hopping on the bandwagon our next guest is a republican activist and married mother of two in that she is arguing that marijuana legalization is a conservative issue jessica corey is a former press secretary for a republican member of the senate and was named one of colorado's most influential professional women she joins us now live from denver let's go welcome to you like i ask you first question why take on this particular fight well i'm a lifelong republican and as a mother of two i believe we as a party have failed to uphold our commitment to individual rights and responsibility if somebody wants to smoke marijuana or if they wan consume too many cheeseburgers that's their right and i as a taxpayer don't think i should have to fund a prohibition against that behavior nor should i be responsible for the repercussions that happen to come upon that person personally all right let me ask you though cheeseburgers not impaired when you eat those but if you smoke pot and get behind the wheel of a car that's a different situation are you putting on the same playing field well i would never advocate being  intoxicated with marijuana when driving and i don't think anybody who's part of this growing nonpartizan movement to legalize marijuana would say that but in fact we would say that obesity alcohol
