Full disclosure, everything in this show is thought of, written and produced by myself and the staff here at our company, Surgeons LLC.
Presented by SRGM Network.
This is about half cannabis microbial, another half cannabis microbial.
I'm here with Detroit Mike, owner of Karma Glass. Is it Karma Glass Studio?
Alright, so I want to know, and I think a lot of people who follow you would like to know,
how exactly did you get into glass in the first place? How did you find your way into the situation?
It was like 2000, I used to tour with bands. And I'd always go on tour, and when I really went on tour, I stopped at a pub dance house.
I don't know a lot of people know pub dance, it was a legend in my history community, and had a lot of people know him there.
And he's a killer glass boy, really good at keeping.
Anyways, I used to tour and I'd come home and I'd never want to go back to work.
Profing would be like, every time I'd go to the club, I'd go to the club, I'd go to the club, I'd go to the club, I'd go to the club, I'd go to the club, I'd go to the club.
My homie, I started, I started to like, I would stop at his house, I would go on tour and I would make a piece of the pipe and I'd pick that up too.
Like I'd go there and I'd get him to make me a piece and I would come to dig because he would live right by the airport.
He would drive me to the airport and I'd see him and he'd sit there working for me.
And it was called glass and that kind of thing, I would start to get colors in and I would do different things.
For example, another company before that's called Detroit Hard Glass, until 2007, 2008.
Well, I'll score a start of one in a month and I just got really shitty about it.
They're making a big percentage off your money.
Yeah.
Yeah, they were making 50.
They were doubling their money and I was making 15%.
And I was loaning them the money for 30 days so they would just, they were just getting really shitty.
And I was starting to get arguments about money because they weren't paying me all my money.
Like I was buying checks in a certain company and it just got through the real shit.
They were taking away the net 30 and I lost a lot of money.
And I just gave it up, I just said I had to.
And then shit just kind of happened after that.
I think I don't care, that's why I had to get out of the city.
I just saved my life in Detroit.
Right.
So you're talking to me about how you kind of had an affiliation with BDT, the glass stores.
BDT was awesome.
And I know Kurt really well, I know the other owner before this.
He and I were very close.
And we used to do champs.
And we'd go to champs and there were all these big parties in my room.
People like Jack there would hang out and shit like that.
That is fucking sweet.
He was a cool motherfucker.
God, he was really cool.
Someone just talked to me about it.
Jack, Jack is the, Jack and his people are the people that started everything that's happened.
Right.
I remember the first time I met Jack, he was talking about mushrooms.
Back then it was like mushrooms, people take them and get high.
Now he's like, no, it's medicine.
It's medicine.
And you can add, in my head I was like, come on, you know what I mean?
But looking forward to today, I know more people will tell you that how mushrooms would save me.
Mushrooms save me from depression man.
It's fucking good shit and it helps me poke.
It does.
Mushrooms have a lot of like really good therapeutic uses.
Like a lot of people probably, I think mushrooms can be like replaced with SSI.
It's kind of like you were talking about like with depression.
It's like an all natural thing.
It's all natural thing.
It's not man made.
A lot of people need a control because they don't.
Moderate control.
Yeah.
People just go too hard in it.
You need to go hard sometimes to kind of make that flip.
Sometimes you make that little realization that it's going to change to make better.
But it's not like that.
I don't take mushrooms a lot.
I take them to be cool.
Like it definitely has changed my life.
Huge.
I got ultra focused on getting my life back together.
And then I started taking mushrooms and that changed.
It made me real positive.
I don't have no time for negative.
I just, hey, if it's negative, I steer away from it.
I gotta go.
I gotta go to my fans.
I found out that I'm very empathic.
Like, oh, I'm really quick to be too nice to people, to let people in my crew.
And then I realized that, oh shit.
They were exactly like...
They were draining me in some way.
And it's not cool.
Like, it's hard.
It's hard to explain it, but people start draining me.
I got it.
So another question that came to mind.
I was driving here.
How did you get the nickname, a truant mic?
Well, people before that always called me.
I didn't think it was Opie.
That's what Puff Dan would call me.
If you ever see Puff Dan around me, you'd probably want to keep going.
But when I see him somewhere, hey, oh, oh my gosh, what's the problem here?
I've seen Chris Barnes.
I used to do a six-humped out there.
He'll say, good old old.
Good old old.
That's what they call me.
Opie.
And I tried to hide it at Harpo.
Everybody says call me Opie.
Everybody's calling me that everywhere.
It's like, oh shit.
When I came out with the glass stuff, I was like, I'm changing my entire head.
It kind of got old, man.
And that way you can kind of date what people know you from.
I didn't realize I was doing it when I did it, but it was because I was doing the glass thing.
So I created the name Detroit Mic, because I owned Detroit Harpo.
And everywhere I went, people were like, where are you from?
Where are you from?
And a lot of people guessed Canada.
Why?
Because I do the A.
A?
I do that a lot.
And probably from where we live.
But that's where I come from.
That's a cool story.
Yeah.
I used to spend a lot of time.
I would go to Vegas every six months for champs.
And I'd spend a lot of time in California.
I'd talk to a lot of shit.
I used to go out there and I'd look at these people out there.
And they were just awesome people.
And back then, before the internet, I'd meet people at champs and shit.
And you hit it off.
And they said, you know you're at their grow in California.
You're at their grow in Oregon.
And back then, I was doing it with someone.
The girl was a big deal.
It was illegal.
Right.
Yeah.
It's like classified information.
I mean, you're kind of like, yeah.
And it was the coolest shit ever.
Because you go to these people's houses, they'd show you something.
And everywhere you go, people grow different.
You know, because nobody had the, you know, there was no network.
And you go to Oregon, and these people would have these funk, huge plants.
They had their basement on casters.
And they'd move them around.
And they'd go places, you know, where they were like California.
And somebody would have some crazy shit going on up on a hill.
And then the last year I went out, I went out to Humphill.
And the place caught on a fucking fire.
It was insane.
I laughed and it was like, I think 2007, 2008, it was bad.
It was really bad.
And it was all illegal.
So going up to Donald 101, they had medical.
Yeah, it was still fucking legal.
Those are the people we got thankful for.
Like I said, Jack, and these people that were out in Humphill County, man,
they were just insane.
I remember the first time I went out there and they would take their book and they'd
have their bowling shit.
Like a nice tray and they'd close it up.
Right upon the gap.
Like whatever dude.
And I remember being like, wow.
And they were the first people I'd just seen like, you know, you kind of get that attitude.
That's the bit.
No, no, it's not right, dude, I think it's just like a lot of suppression.
We have read so fucking blatantly obvious, dude.
It's blatantly obvious of what's going on and people are just accepting.
And you know, I mean, it doesn't, we're not helping it.
Like future generations are not doing anything good for ourselves.
We're trying to progress, stay positive.
You know, to grow your own medicine thing that we're doing, you know, with simply professional
formula, I have to give them a shout out of course.
Thank you, Josh and Rob.
You know, with Ruby Montezo's course too.
The whole grow your own medicine thing is about just being self sufficient in general
and mushroom, I think is kind of the next thing.
You know, in their lives.
Oh, it's good.
You realize for when you take that stuff, it doesn't matter.
It does.
It doesn't matter.
Dude, something happened.
I don't know what it is.
Every wire or something in your brain.
You can tell who has, you can also, you have, I don't even know how to describe it.
It's like a magnetic connection or electrical connection.
They're smarter than us.
The first handy and I will say they're smarter than us.
And you know, because I'm really into the lion's mane too.
Really?
Yeah, they're well, I get these pills are called stackers.
So they have stomp, stackers.
A friend of mine makes it really good.
I've kind of getting into these different things that we can mix with your micro-nose and make it easier to notice when you do like a, but they'll sometimes you feel like there's something missing.
The legalization thing is on the rise.
It's going to be the next part, but I think it's, if you're trying to get in on it, you need to get in on it now because for sure there's a few people that got it down.
There is.
These communities out here on Facebook.
I've just learned that there's like only certain strains available.
Like these Facebook groups, like this thing.
Very seriously.
There's certain people that are really, really good.
You know, I, like I said, I follow up some too, but I can only get soak up so much information and it's like other information is going out the other side now.
The only thing I'm going to say is like, you know, I appreciate you coming out here, Mike.
We're definitely going to do this again.
I like the stories and I'm glad you brought Bob here as well.
Bob goes where I go.
He's been good too.
He's been good.
He's a little bit excited for this park.
There's so many dogs and stuff.
All right.
Thank you.
Everybody have a great night.
Yeah.
And thanks for watching guys.
Me, me and Detroit.
Mike, I appreciate all the support.
Thank you.
Thanks for the follow up.
Thanks for the like.
For sure. Seriously, the reason we did this, at least the reason I did this, I'm pretty sure Mike did this too, is because, you know, a lot of people see us talking together, you know, talking on Facebook together.
And I think it's just like a cool, you know, more, you know, a cool place to like match this up.
And I like this spot.
Good choice.
I appreciate it.
Oh man.
Seriously.
Got it.
Seriously.
Next week, I interview Mike Ozzi.
I'll see you from swampy state.
My college.
Our community based.
