mentioned in the past he was one of the main contributors architects of the hemp fest tempest out of work here in seattle there had over two point five million people at it last year by the way it was largest single populated event in the history of the northwest last year attempts so if he could barely he helped him with a song called on the road again that that would be very interesting for really to show his honor for when his requests for help for his his fellow veterans here in the united states of what we are it's all based on our efforts to try to help one another was built by that being means of all of us working together that's what creates our country is still being created by that effort i hope we're going to hear from matthew gordon as well toby strain dot com  well as stephanie queen la lady dot com and hey guys it's good to see all and if i get the bottom of the screen changed a little bit maybe we can cover some things now p t s d is in the background stephanie and save readjust to get the  the importance right now what's going on is they're coming up with very good strains they're learning how to grow them environmentally and when to harvest them how to infuse them into medication delivery systems and docents and they're finding incredibly i mean very very good strains for depression p t s d and many other specifi fide ailments and so that's why i wanted to come on this show is because that's what i'm all about is single effect strains and hopefully very soon we're going to have a dhobi isn't the one already we don't know but we may have if not very soon we're going to have a strain that is the strain for p t s d grown a certain way harvested at a certain time and prepared a certain way even in certain doses and it's literally that specific that can ave a profile the chemical composition the plant is deliberately manipulated to help specific ailments such as p t s d and anyway that's that's all i can say about that the law or not you know you're a veteran as well and we're trying to put it with the other series of t v programs based on p t s d and what are the benefits of medical cannabis as we're probably going to be listened to by the veterans administration on this issue what's the benefits of medical marijuana yeah for one i get to eat i can't eat unless i smoke marijuana and the food will not go past my throat right here  there's certain types that allow everything inside here to relax and let the food go down i can't sleep i can't i can't go to sleep without smokin some weed first because it puts me in in a state where i can i can relax and go to sleep because i think i'm a homeless guy i've been homeless for eight years i live in a tent in the woods with my son who has got his own head traumas it's like raising my five year old son again he's thirty two years old plus i got so many street kids out there that come to me they all call me pops and it's not just what they call me it's who i become they ask for advice i have so many people's lives living in my head i get so stressed out if i don't smoke weed i can't i can't function i can't see i mean i really can't sleep and he's talking about dr old there's not a days gone by in my life that i haven't thought about that and i just it's like it happened yesterday i'm fifty seven years old that's forty five years forty years it's been going on forty some odd years there's just there's so many benefits for the person and for me right now i'm the skinniest i've ever been in my life because i don't have access i get no help out there if i don't ask people for a little bit change here and there i don't eat i i'm getting so skinny it to get that one that just helps people eat and to gain weight that'd be great i mean we does that already but there are strains i know that just specifically cause you to be hungry and i could use some of that but i think it's i really think that washington took a big step i was born and raised in seattle they took a big step a number i'm really glad because i believe i really believe and i may be wrong i probably am but who's to say what's right and wrong i believe everyone should smoke weed at least once in their life and given a real chance to decide for themselves they should yours shouldn't you but then again not everybody would be willing to do that you have to allow them to make their choice and accept people for who for my mike on sorry about that and it's about medical cannabis you're involved with it's now a national geographic's i got you involved with a special coming up right here and they're actually going to show women a week in washington which is really an honor the women who are stepping into leadership and moving the cannabis movement forward we're seeing women you know it used to be a pretty male dominated industry and the women are coming forward which is really exciting  but as to medical cannabis washington is at risk we now have recreational cannabis were one of the two states in america with colorado being the other state and there are a lot of smart people who say that the legislature in the government of washington wants to eliminate medical cannabis they feel like the recreational system can provide the needs of patients and so it's going to be a year where patients are really in a vulnerable position and should be stepping up to defend their rights that we got almost fifteen years ago to grow are through a collective garden system so it's not a time for medical patients to step back and as far as the post traumatic stress disorder goes it's not a recognized qualifying condition in washington but should be it's already starting to get in arizona recognize so it's time that we add it to the list  think medical marijuana users should have marijuana but guys like me who are just addicks you know it's like i always think have marijuana and i have a cotton head you know and i'm saying it's an addiction and it's no good for myself or anyone because i what that does is it brings negative energy into the world because being in a in a place where i'm addicted on the marijuana and stuff like that and you know it fogged up my brain i can't think right now i think it's terrible water it also cures cancer and it's not people smoking it like a lot of people are like that custom being programmed to think it's only that it's not it's consuming it ninety three percent of the market is actually oils teachers extract bombs you name it has nothing to do with a bunch of hippies ok so you people finally get it your profiles that we're designing for specific needs we are working on a strain that just makes you hungry we've been working on one that's just appetite suppressant one that just helps you sleep one that just wakes you up very specified and what he's talking about is abusing or overmedicating they call it or and especially indiscriminately medicating if you take something that's making you confused or groggy lethargic inhibiting short term memory because apparently anxiety and negative energy or whatever well that's probably a noxious strain to your body and you know they're and so what we need to do is like i said he ran out here i was going to let him try some old toby and tell me of that made him foggy because i severed from eighty seven percent short term memory mass you have to understand it isn't people smoking it from the standpoint of medical applications we're talking about curing cancer aids diabetes helping people in many other types of circumstances led me to have nothing to do with categorizing all the many strains of cannabis all together under one vague at best definition marijuana plea he says there's many different compounds are still individual compounds like c b d and t h c can be and there's it's you can't just say marijuana anymore there's just that's two hundred different kinds of medicine that's like calling every single thing from athlete's foot medicine to you know pain pills and antibiotics at the at the at walgreens drug store or whatever it's like calling every single bit of medication on their shelf drugs what you nigger that give me some drugs oh what's wrong with you athlete's foot cancer i just want drugs and just indiscriminately take whatever wow you know what doctor didn't help my cancer you know am right medicine isn't known l cancer will give me the evidence for that stuff maybe they'll cure my cancer it doesn't make any sense but when you know that a specific medication helps you eat and you can take that and get it this is what we need we need consistently quality control words the stuff that helps you eat helps you eat every single  time and people that have eating disorders compassionate groups can maybe purchase large amounts and d b m out to those on social security that can't afford their medication but anyway i'm going to pass a mike i just i enjoyed what he had to what he what he had to say about being an addict and everything i i know i'm an alcoholic i know i'm a drug addict but that doesn't mean that i go overboard and smoke this stuff until or eat it or or whatever until i just i will be a recognized qualifying condition some day in washington but what's important is that we standardize and put it into forms beyond smoking because that that's where there's a big barrier with the government officials they they want to see medicine look more like medicine so i'm excited to hear matt say talking about dosages people believe medicine should look more like pills and potions so as we move into the extract world and put it in other forms i think it'll help get become more socially acceptable stephanie they can get it you can find you over at la lady douglas already dot com some day yes th  in one of his let's say areas where he helps create new straits it should be very interesting enjoy this program i appreciate everybody watching who's might be interested in medical cannabis the future of it which is now a three probably a million dollars or excuse me multibillion dollar with a demand probably beyond three million pounds at this time for cannabis commercial distributors growers who actually do want matthew bourne's all toby into fairly high demand but the fact is they don't have any inventory really at all at this time with hundreds of thousands of people converging on washington state specially with the hempfest coming up cannabis cup as well this fall and high times and that the circumstances are very interesting where this is all going as it's now being kind of moralist how does it work makes it work and where do we go with us that's very interesting enjoy the segment with matthew gordon interview with him and have him explain some of the things he knows that should be very interesting is to him so this will get to the next one after that once or thank you very much for watching so right here just and nobody thought that marijuana could get rid of paranoia he stressed or make your memory better or suppress appetite everyone knows it makes you tired and gives you the munchies the way you remove those negative side effects like i did a thanks for watching this second half of all the life we're going to cover another interview with matthew gordon as we also will get a chance listen maybe in the background some of his incredible music that he's produced with david belzer and another party these guys are brilliant geniuses of music and sound so i hope you enjoy this second half will interview with matthew gordon explain a little bit more about what it takes to create a spring a medical cannabis story very interesting so let's let's watch this next second half thank you is actually really fucking good i mean i don't know why or say for what it is because that's really just like i really appreciate this because that's what i don't want to do this thing anymore i learned something about how to su certain nutrition a certain like you know and it has to be a certain age and develop and if it's fifty six days but had two weeks of nutrient laca that you weren't aware of or a week a fut
