This is Ryan Boulder. What's going on everybody? Today is November 14th, 2023. How's everybody
doing today? I hope you're doing good because we got some health and wellness topics to cover today.
I wanted to talk about some stories and resources surrounding our topic of all natural herbs.
I've never really talked about where we get our information from. So I do want to throw some
of our resources out there for anyone who wants to do their own research. We got, and if you want
to write the stuff down, go for it. We got the herb book, stories, science, and history of herbs.
This book offers a comprehensive look at herbs covering their use throughout history for cooking,
medicine, rituals, and more. It also discusses their role in the modern world, including gardening,
food, cosmetics, and medicinal applications. Next one we got is fascinating herbal histories
from around the world, explores the history use of herbs in various cultures. For example,
thyme was used as an antiseptic in ancient Sumeria and was associated with bravery in ancient Greece.
Fascinating herbal histories from around the world. Herb folklore, herbal natural remedies,
the old farmer's almanac. This resource dives into the folklore surrounding various herbs,
such as shervil, C-H-E-R-V-I-L, shervil, for curing hiccups and chives, for driving away diseases
and pushing away evil spirits. Next we got the nine most powerful medicinal plants and herbs
backed by science. This is via Healthline, which is a website. This article from Healthline lists
some of the most powerful medicinal plants and herbs like tea tree oil, echinaxia, I couldn't
even tell you how to spell it, E-C-H-I-N-A-C-E-A, echinaxia, and discusses their benefits and uses.
I can list links to all of these too. I think I'll probably put the links in this episode.
There's one more, but we'll skip that for now. Next we're going to talk about this
unofficial Gallup poll. Basically, a Gallup poll is just an unofficial poll, large scale.
Released November 8th found that a new record level of support for cannabis legalization among U.S.
adults is topping over 70% after totaling a then record 68% for three years. So that's about a two
percent increase over the last, what is that, three years? Positive direction, right? The poll found
that 28% of the respondents opposed the reforms. Okay, so there's the other, okay, so that would
make 98% with the 1.5% being unsure. In 1969, when Gallup first asked about legalizing cannabis,
just 12% favored the reforms. In 1969, fast forward 31 plus 23. So we're at 54 years later,
we're at 70%. So we've went up 58%. You know, that's really awesome. Cannabis legalization was popular
among a majority of subgroups, including 91% of self-identified liberals, 87% of Democrats,
55% of Republicans, and 70% of independents. Respondents are 18 to 34 years old. That's where
mostly a lot of the support is coming from, from the 18 to 34 year old age group, which actually
makes quite a bit of sense to me, because here I am about to turn 30 in February, and I fall under
that same age group. So I don't know, it must be an age thing. And I'm proud of the people who are
here in that demographic and share that same vision as I do, and that the show does, and that a lot
of our sponsors do as well. I just kind of also wanted to note that I got this information from
ganjapreneur.com. It's ganjapreneur.com. I don't know if you're a cannabis-based business, I would
encourage you to use ganjapreneur to stay up to date. They do a really good job at
keeping the information credible and valuable, and they have quite a bit of information on here.
So check out ganjapreneur trusted online source for sure. Another thing we could talk about, Missouri,
100,000 cannabis expungement under adult use act. Let's see what this is about. So Missouri has
expunged nearly 100,000, I repeat, 100,000 convictions as part of the adult use cannabis
constitutional amendment approved by voters last year, reported by KMBC 9, which is, I'm assuming,
their news station. Under the law, nearly every misdemeanor cannabis conviction was to be expunged
by June 8, except for offenders still incarcerated or currently supervised by the Department of
Corrections. Felony convictions are supposed to be expunged by December 8. So, I mean, at least
it's happening. I mean, we're getting close to December 8, so cannabis convicted felons,
you know, you just got to hang in there a little bit longer. I know nobody thinks that, I mean,
we got 70% of the country who believes we need to have reform changes. I mean, should I say anymore?
That's really awesome. You know, I want to, that kind of gives me hope it's like the best or the most,
that is like the most genuine law towards cannabis I can, I can really think of in the past couple
years, you know, just in general, like the state is going to, that is basically saying in a roundabout
way that, hey, we fucked up, we know, we get it, we're going to make this right. We're starting
that process. And I think that's all people really want. I don't even think care people even care
about accountability right now. It's more just about an acknowledgement that, hey, you know,
my bad, you know, the government seems to be like, yo, you know, at my bad, let's just move on,
brush under the rug, like mostly all the other stuff. And let's just move on and get that going.
So I really, I really appreciate that angle of how they went about that. I think that's something
that could be applied to various other states here, of course, as well. And now I got a special

it a little smoother, try to make it sound a little bit better because I feel like I'm not as green
now. I feel like I've gotten a good grasp on the podcasting, good grasp on the content, a good grasp
on moving forward with guests. I have a couple of good guests lined up and I'm really excited to
tell you guys about it once we get closer to the date. We got one at the beginning of January and
one at the end of February that I'm super excited to announce, but we got to get to that point first
and that's what it's all about and we're going to get there too. This next story I found on
High Times, the website, the High Times. It's mostly for everything marijuana related, but it is
expanded into hemp, wellness, cannabis, other healing stuff. I found this story on there and
apparently race horses can test positive for cocaine, math, and ketamine. Who would have thought?
Because I wouldn't have. So here's the story behind it. The owner of a race horse, the one
a race last month in Malta, has been fined after the horse tested positive for several different
drugs. According to the Times of Malta, the Malta Racing Cup has fined the owner of a six-year-old
mayor named Helena Jibay after the horse tested positive for cocaine, methamphetamine,
ketamine, and stan ozolol, which is a synthetic steroid. The owner, whose identity was not released,
was also banned from entering any other races for at least two years. I definitely can't say that
I'm surprised, but I've seen this story and I was thought to myself, you know, I have to share that
because that's not something I would really take into consideration. You know, maybe the steroids,
definitely not meth, cocaine, and ketamine never would have thought of that cocktail to help win a
horse race, but you know, there's a lot of stuff that goes on. And I've talked with someone who is a
horse, took care of Olympic horses. She was on the show, I think, as episode seven, and she had mentioned
a lot of, you know, she had mentioned that there are some some pretty shady things that happen in
that industry, and that's like a prime example of it right there. And you know, that could be some
of the things that she alludes to, you know, she's very professional and kind of keeps it under
wraps and doesn't, you know, go saying a whole bunch of stuff. And but I can see where she's coming
from after hearing, you know, something from kind of story like that, because that's just one person
who got caught. I mean, think of all the think of all the races that go on. And nobody finds out
about it. So food for thought, irrelevant food for thought, but food for thought nonetheless.
But now I'm going to get into my segment I usually end with where we're kind of just talking about
what's going on with myself, the surgeons company, and, you know, the past year of what's been going
on. And last week, we left off at me feeling weird and going home after this three day party
extravaganza, which mind you, I minimally participated in. I participated kind of just to participate.
And another weird thing I shit you not no late no sooner have I started talking about this.
Have I recently been contacted? Not not like a threatening way or anything like that. You know,
I was just kind of like, I reconnected with someone that I'm talking about in the story. And
it's just weird, the timing and everything. I mean, I don't normally believe in coincidences,
you know, this might be one of these times where the timing is just kind of right. But I often don't
believe in that, because that would have to mean several things that I couldn't confirm. But
I mean, that kind of is just a continuation of the story that I'm talking about right now. I
feel like on the 25th, I might be going to an event, see what's going on over there, maybe,
you know, obviously catch the show and whatnot and see what's going on with the vendors and
things like that. Maybe I could get in and be a vendor, maybe I should ask. But check that out
on the 25th. It's presented by a company that one of the people I'm talking about, actually,
in this segment at the moment, he owns that company and it looks like they're sponsoring it and they
got a few artists playing and whatnot. But back to the story, right? So after that, start doing my
marketing stuff and the video work with this independent film producer. And mind you, he's
going out of the country, I volunteer to watch his dog so he can go out of the country and he's,
you know, and return, he was going to take some pictures of our products in these landmark locations.
You know, it really wasn't like this complicated thing. I watched it, you know,
that's just kind of how this all started. Now mind you,
there's a lot of stuff going on that I don't know about. And I probably will never know about. However,
as a result of doing the photo shoot with my products, this independent film producer actually
got a job to do a music video. And that's how this all kind of starts. All right, so for this music
video, they're going around the world and they're doing all these shots to get for the music video
to make it really cool and whatnot. So when they went, that's why they took our, you know,
our products and started taking some pictures. Well, you know, the first, you know, the first trip,
you know, what, fine, you know, they were in the United States,
got some good stuff. You can check that out on the easiest place to define it would probably be on
TikTok. But, but I made or edited, I suppose I edited several videos, or like a little promotional
content videos while they were out in these places. As far as like the list of places, it was California,
Columbia, Brazil. And there was supposed to be a few others before, you know, things went in a
different direction, aka they went wrong, or there was just some other bullshit that was going on,
which is still part of the part, which is still part of the story that I have yet to get to.
So I'm editing these videos, they're sending to me from these destinations, posting them, you know,
I have like, you know, I just got the Instagram going, you know, I had partnered up with an Instagram
influencer, and I was posting these videos and doing giveaways, and, you know, or getting up there,
getting some followers, got up to 500 or so followers, things were going good. We had helped
put together like an online event, you know, we helped do some promotion for that. I mean, we were
just kind of getting involved and things were at least felt like they were going in a good direction.
Yeah, and I at least thought they were so we partnered up to do this hunt for humanity thing.
And this is where things start to get really hairy and really tricky, because we had a meeting,
you know, people, the partners and who went in on this and, you know, part of the
the responsibility of at least on my end, as I made, you know, promotional videos, and I included
them in it as well for donating their time or donating products towards this event, because
hunt for humanity was supposed to be an online event. And we were going to gather funds for
habitat for humanity, you know, that's why we call it hunt for humanity, because it was just,
you know, a spin off of habitat for humanity. And that's who the that's who the giveaway was
designed for. Mind you, I had put a lot of time into this, I did a lot. I did a lot with it.
And as some of you probably know, it hasn't came to fruition yet, but we just are having to do it
a different way. I wish we could do it online. I'm just not confident I have that kind of support
right now to really drive it to be successful. If you're interested in getting involved in this,
please let me know, because right now the plan is to use a local restaurant to drive in some,
you know, to put together a fundraiser to do it, you know, locally. If you think you could have
use for all these donated items that we have for hunt for humanity, please reach out to me.
You can email operations at CBD surgeons dot shop, just throwing it out there.
As far as how that went, you know, I was feeling good about it. I had some cooperation,
Ruga Monteto and simply professional formula, shout out to them. I still, I still talk to them,
Rob and Josh. They've been really understanding throughout this whole situation scenario. I'm
not sure how affected they were by working with this influencer or not, or if they still do or not.
But all I can say is that this person wouldn't say they screwed me over, but they left me hanging
and, you know, they left me out to the wolves, basically. And it was like this whole thing, like,
the cannabis industry is so savage, these people are coming up with like the craziest things to
attach ourselves to our company or to me or the podcast. I mean, I get it, but I'm only trying
to work with positive people. We're only trying to bring positive people onto this podcast, and
we're only trying to be positive because wellness is all about your state of mind. And having a good
attitude to begin with is the start of everything. You know, these herbs and practices help you
maintain that, that balance of homeostasis. You'll hear me mention the word homeostasis quite a bit,
just because like that's the proper word to use of internal balance. And that's what a lot of
practices reference. Again, I would like to remind everybody that I'm not a doctor.
Nobody at our staff has a PhD. We're not claiming to have a medical license at all. We just sell
home to arrive products and we give you our opinion on some of the news going on. And we try to make
some ongoing issues, you know, more well known to the public. That's this week's episode. I hope
you enjoyed it. This is Ryan Boulda and you'll talk to me soon. In a fake world, I'm here to bring
you the all natural answers. You're listening to only the best herbs, Ryan Boulda with SRGN Networks.
We'll talk soon.
