00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:26,480
This is Ryan Boulder. What's going on everybody? Today is November 14th, 2023. How's everybody

2
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:34,080
doing today? I hope you're doing good because we got some health and wellness topics to cover today.

3
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:47,920
I wanted to talk about some stories and resources surrounding our topic of all natural herbs.

4
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,600
I've never really talked about where we get our information from. So I do want to throw some

5
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:01,760
of our resources out there for anyone who wants to do their own research. We got, and if you want

6
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:09,520
to write the stuff down, go for it. We got the herb book, stories, science, and history of herbs.

7
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,520
This book offers a comprehensive look at herbs covering their use throughout history for cooking,

8
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:25,440
medicine, rituals, and more. It also discusses their role in the modern world, including gardening,

9
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:33,440
food, cosmetics, and medicinal applications. Next one we got is fascinating herbal histories

10
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:40,640
from around the world, explores the history use of herbs in various cultures. For example,

11
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:51,120
thyme was used as an antiseptic in ancient Sumeria and was associated with bravery in ancient Greece.

12
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,800
Fascinating herbal histories from around the world. Herb folklore, herbal natural remedies,

13
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:06,240
the old farmer's almanac. This resource dives into the folklore surrounding various herbs,

14
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:19,360
such as shervil, C-H-E-R-V-I-L, shervil, for curing hiccups and chives, for driving away diseases

15
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:29,440
and pushing away evil spirits. Next we got the nine most powerful medicinal plants and herbs

16
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:36,880
backed by science. This is via Healthline, which is a website. This article from Healthline lists

17
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:44,240
some of the most powerful medicinal plants and herbs like tea tree oil, echinaxia, I couldn't

18
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:54,160
even tell you how to spell it, E-C-H-I-N-A-C-E-A, echinaxia, and discusses their benefits and uses.

19
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,600
I can list links to all of these too. I think I'll probably put the links in this episode.

20
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,760
There's one more, but we'll skip that for now. Next we're going to talk about this

21
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:17,200
unofficial Gallup poll. Basically, a Gallup poll is just an unofficial poll, large scale.

22
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:25,200
Released November 8th found that a new record level of support for cannabis legalization among U.S.

23
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:35,920
adults is topping over 70% after totaling a then record 68% for three years. So that's about a two

24
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:43,200
percent increase over the last, what is that, three years? Positive direction, right? The poll found

25
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:51,600
that 28% of the respondents opposed the reforms. Okay, so there's the other, okay, so that would

26
00:03:51,600 --> 00:04:02,880
make 98% with the 1.5% being unsure. In 1969, when Gallup first asked about legalizing cannabis,

27
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:16,720
just 12% favored the reforms. In 1969, fast forward 31 plus 23. So we're at 54 years later,

28
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:26,960
we're at 70%. So we've went up 58%. You know, that's really awesome. Cannabis legalization was popular

29
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:38,560
among a majority of subgroups, including 91% of self-identified liberals, 87% of Democrats,

30
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:50,480
55% of Republicans, and 70% of independents. Respondents are 18 to 34 years old. That's where

31
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:59,280
mostly a lot of the support is coming from, from the 18 to 34 year old age group, which actually

32
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:06,000
makes quite a bit of sense to me, because here I am about to turn 30 in February, and I fall under

33
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,040
that same age group. So I don't know, it must be an age thing. And I'm proud of the people who are

34
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:20,720
here in that demographic and share that same vision as I do, and that the show does, and that a lot

35
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:28,400
of our sponsors do as well. I just kind of also wanted to note that I got this information from

36
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:38,880
ganjapreneur.com. It's ganjapreneur.com. I don't know if you're a cannabis-based business, I would

37
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:47,440
encourage you to use ganjapreneur to stay up to date. They do a really good job at

38
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,840
keeping the information credible and valuable, and they have quite a bit of information on here.

39
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:11,440
So check out ganjapreneur trusted online source for sure. Another thing we could talk about, Missouri,

40
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:23,040
100,000 cannabis expungement under adult use act. Let's see what this is about. So Missouri has

41
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:34,560
expunged nearly 100,000, I repeat, 100,000 convictions as part of the adult use cannabis

42
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:44,240
constitutional amendment approved by voters last year, reported by KMBC 9, which is, I'm assuming,

43
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:54,240
their news station. Under the law, nearly every misdemeanor cannabis conviction was to be expunged

44
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:02,560
by June 8, except for offenders still incarcerated or currently supervised by the Department of

45
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:10,240
Corrections. Felony convictions are supposed to be expunged by December 8. So, I mean, at least

46
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:18,880
it's happening. I mean, we're getting close to December 8, so cannabis convicted felons,

47
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,400
you know, you just got to hang in there a little bit longer. I know nobody thinks that, I mean,

48
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:33,840
we got 70% of the country who believes we need to have reform changes. I mean, should I say anymore?

49
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:43,440
That's really awesome. You know, I want to, that kind of gives me hope it's like the best or the most,

50
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:53,920
that is like the most genuine law towards cannabis I can, I can really think of in the past couple

51
00:07:53,920 --> 00:08:00,960
years, you know, just in general, like the state is going to, that is basically saying in a roundabout

52
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:08,960
way that, hey, we fucked up, we know, we get it, we're going to make this right. We're starting

53
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:16,800
that process. And I think that's all people really want. I don't even think care people even care

54
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,360
about accountability right now. It's more just about an acknowledgement that, hey, you know,

55
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,120
my bad, you know, the government seems to be like, yo, you know, at my bad, let's just move on,

56
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,200
brush under the rug, like mostly all the other stuff. And let's just move on and get that going.

57
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,120
So I really, I really appreciate that angle of how they went about that. I think that's something

58
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:49,280
that could be applied to various other states here, of course, as well. And now I got a special

59
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:55,680

69
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:11,840
586-246-5852. You like that? I've been working on my podcasting and radio voice lately, try to get

70
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:18,320
it a little smoother, try to make it sound a little bit better because I feel like I'm not as green

71
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:28,800
now. I feel like I've gotten a good grasp on the podcasting, good grasp on the content, a good grasp

72
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:36,800
on moving forward with guests. I have a couple of good guests lined up and I'm really excited to

73
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:44,160
tell you guys about it once we get closer to the date. We got one at the beginning of January and

74
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:52,560
one at the end of February that I'm super excited to announce, but we got to get to that point first

75
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:58,320
and that's what it's all about and we're going to get there too. This next story I found on

76
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:06,720
High Times, the website, the High Times. It's mostly for everything marijuana related, but it is

77
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:18,320
expanded into hemp, wellness, cannabis, other healing stuff. I found this story on there and

78
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:31,520
apparently race horses can test positive for cocaine, math, and ketamine. Who would have thought?

79
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Because I wouldn't have. So here's the story behind it. The owner of a race horse, the one

80
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:48,080
a race last month in Malta, has been fined after the horse tested positive for several different

81
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:55,680
drugs. According to the Times of Malta, the Malta Racing Cup has fined the owner of a six-year-old

82
00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:04,720
mayor named Helena Jibay after the horse tested positive for cocaine, methamphetamine,

83
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:16,800
ketamine, and stan ozolol, which is a synthetic steroid. The owner, whose identity was not released,

84
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:26,400
was also banned from entering any other races for at least two years. I definitely can't say that

85
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:34,160
I'm surprised, but I've seen this story and I was thought to myself, you know, I have to share that

86
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:40,800
because that's not something I would really take into consideration. You know, maybe the steroids,

87
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:52,000
definitely not meth, cocaine, and ketamine never would have thought of that cocktail to help win a

88
00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:00,560
horse race, but you know, there's a lot of stuff that goes on. And I've talked with someone who is a

89
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:11,120
horse, took care of Olympic horses. She was on the show, I think, as episode seven, and she had mentioned

90
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,320
a lot of, you know, she had mentioned that there are some some pretty shady things that happen in

91
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:25,520
that industry, and that's like a prime example of it right there. And you know, that could be some

92
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,600
of the things that she alludes to, you know, she's very professional and kind of keeps it under

93
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:38,480
wraps and doesn't, you know, go saying a whole bunch of stuff. And but I can see where she's coming

94
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:47,120
from after hearing, you know, something from kind of story like that, because that's just one person

95
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:53,760
who got caught. I mean, think of all the think of all the races that go on. And nobody finds out

96
00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:02,240
about it. So food for thought, irrelevant food for thought, but food for thought nonetheless.

97
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:13,600
But now I'm going to get into my segment I usually end with where we're kind of just talking about

98
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:21,600
what's going on with myself, the surgeons company, and, you know, the past year of what's been going

99
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:36,000
on. And last week, we left off at me feeling weird and going home after this three day party

100
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:47,920
extravaganza, which mind you, I minimally participated in. I participated kind of just to participate.

101
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:58,000
And another weird thing I shit you not no late no sooner have I started talking about this.

102
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Have I recently been contacted? Not not like a threatening way or anything like that. You know,

103
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:18,640
I was just kind of like, I reconnected with someone that I'm talking about in the story. And

104
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:25,520
it's just weird, the timing and everything. I mean, I don't normally believe in coincidences,

105
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:34,080
you know, this might be one of these times where the timing is just kind of right. But I often don't

106
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:40,880
believe in that, because that would have to mean several things that I couldn't confirm. But

107
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:53,680
I mean, that kind of is just a continuation of the story that I'm talking about right now. I

108
00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:04,480
feel like on the 25th, I might be going to an event, see what's going on over there, maybe,

109
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,960
you know, obviously catch the show and whatnot and see what's going on with the vendors and

110
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:19,760
things like that. Maybe I could get in and be a vendor, maybe I should ask. But check that out

111
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:32,800
on the 25th. It's presented by a company that one of the people I'm talking about, actually,

112
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:39,040
in this segment at the moment, he owns that company and it looks like they're sponsoring it and they

113
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:55,360
got a few artists playing and whatnot. But back to the story, right? So after that, start doing my

114
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:05,520
marketing stuff and the video work with this independent film producer. And mind you, he's

115
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:13,120
going out of the country, I volunteer to watch his dog so he can go out of the country and he's,

116
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:20,400
you know, and return, he was going to take some pictures of our products in these landmark locations.

117
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,520
You know, it really wasn't like this complicated thing. I watched it, you know,

118
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,800
that's just kind of how this all started. Now mind you,

119
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:39,440
there's a lot of stuff going on that I don't know about. And I probably will never know about. However,

120
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:47,200
as a result of doing the photo shoot with my products, this independent film producer actually

121
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:56,800
got a job to do a music video. And that's how this all kind of starts. All right, so for this music

122
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:03,600
video, they're going around the world and they're doing all these shots to get for the music video

123
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:10,720
to make it really cool and whatnot. So when they went, that's why they took our, you know,

124
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:18,240
our products and started taking some pictures. Well, you know, the first, you know, the first trip,

125
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,880
you know, what, fine, you know, they were in the United States,

126
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:29,840
got some good stuff. You can check that out on the easiest place to define it would probably be on

127
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:40,800
TikTok. But, but I made or edited, I suppose I edited several videos, or like a little promotional

128
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:52,160
content videos while they were out in these places. As far as like the list of places, it was California,

129
00:18:53,360 --> 00:19:01,760
Columbia, Brazil. And there was supposed to be a few others before, you know, things went in a

130
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:10,720
different direction, aka they went wrong, or there was just some other bullshit that was going on,

131
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,400
which is still part of the part, which is still part of the story that I have yet to get to.

132
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:24,000
So I'm editing these videos, they're sending to me from these destinations, posting them, you know,

133
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:32,720
I have like, you know, I just got the Instagram going, you know, I had partnered up with an Instagram

134
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:38,800
influencer, and I was posting these videos and doing giveaways, and, you know, or getting up there,

135
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:45,920
getting some followers, got up to 500 or so followers, things were going good. We had helped

136
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,560
put together like an online event, you know, we helped do some promotion for that. I mean, we were

137
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,760
just kind of getting involved and things were at least felt like they were going in a good direction.

138
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:02,960
Yeah, and I at least thought they were so we partnered up to do this hunt for humanity thing.

139
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:10,800
And this is where things start to get really hairy and really tricky, because we had a meeting,

140
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:17,280
you know, people, the partners and who went in on this and, you know, part of the

141
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:25,200
the responsibility of at least on my end, as I made, you know, promotional videos, and I included

142
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:33,120
them in it as well for donating their time or donating products towards this event, because

143
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:41,120
hunt for humanity was supposed to be an online event. And we were going to gather funds for

144
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:47,040
habitat for humanity, you know, that's why we call it hunt for humanity, because it was just,

145
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:54,000
you know, a spin off of habitat for humanity. And that's who the that's who the giveaway was

146
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,560
designed for. Mind you, I had put a lot of time into this, I did a lot. I did a lot with it.

147
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:09,040
And as some of you probably know, it hasn't came to fruition yet, but we just are having to do it

148
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:15,200
a different way. I wish we could do it online. I'm just not confident I have that kind of support

149
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:22,800
right now to really drive it to be successful. If you're interested in getting involved in this,

150
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:34,400
please let me know, because right now the plan is to use a local restaurant to drive in some,

151
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:42,640
you know, to put together a fundraiser to do it, you know, locally. If you think you could have

152
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,400
use for all these donated items that we have for hunt for humanity, please reach out to me.

153
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:55,760
You can email operations at CBD surgeons dot shop, just throwing it out there.

154
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,240
As far as how that went, you know, I was feeling good about it. I had some cooperation,

155
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:07,360
Ruga Monteto and simply professional formula, shout out to them. I still, I still talk to them,

156
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:14,720
Rob and Josh. They've been really understanding throughout this whole situation scenario. I'm

157
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:22,720
not sure how affected they were by working with this influencer or not, or if they still do or not.

158
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:31,840
But all I can say is that this person wouldn't say they screwed me over, but they left me hanging

159
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,040
and, you know, they left me out to the wolves, basically. And it was like this whole thing, like,

160
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,920
the cannabis industry is so savage, these people are coming up with like the craziest things to

161
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:51,680
attach ourselves to our company or to me or the podcast. I mean, I get it, but I'm only trying

162
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,360
to work with positive people. We're only trying to bring positive people onto this podcast, and

163
00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:03,600
we're only trying to be positive because wellness is all about your state of mind. And having a good

164
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,760
attitude to begin with is the start of everything. You know, these herbs and practices help you

165
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:17,360
maintain that, that balance of homeostasis. You'll hear me mention the word homeostasis quite a bit,

166
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:24,320
just because like that's the proper word to use of internal balance. And that's what a lot of

167
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:31,840
practices reference. Again, I would like to remind everybody that I'm not a doctor.

168
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:39,280
Nobody at our staff has a PhD. We're not claiming to have a medical license at all. We just sell

169
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:47,600
home to arrive products and we give you our opinion on some of the news going on. And we try to make

170
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:54,720
some ongoing issues, you know, more well known to the public. That's this week's episode. I hope

171
00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:02,480
you enjoyed it. This is Ryan Boulda and you'll talk to me soon. In a fake world, I'm here to bring

172
