magic. i hope i'm there to see it. i'm doing all the work myself now. we're not making enough money to pay our bills right now. there is live wires behind me and some insulation and concrete. got to hang some drywall and second grossest bathroom in america. it's lunch time. here i am eating processed meat and american cheese. and it tastes like i'm in fifth grade.
7:01 pm
welcome to the not so glamorous side of the marijuana industry. >> marijuana, pot, grass, whatever you want to call it, is probably the most dangerous drug in the united states. >> i shall continue to oppose efforts to legalize marijuana. >> i inhaled frequently. that was the point. >> what we're doing now is creating a next big tobacco of our time. >> this is a highly regulated business. >> we're talking about daylighting a black market activity. >> we're on the cutting edge of a brand-new industry. this is absolutely the next gold rush. this is the green rush. >> now the dominos are falling. especially when the seedy economic revenue. >> there is $2 billion to be had next year. i plan to take more than my fair share.
7:02 pm
>> i just got off the phone with med, michelle from the med. and check out this voice mail. >> is it good? >> it's michelle from med. just calling to let you know your license application was approved. you should be able to apply to be an owner as well. so let me know what your plan is. i can get you copies of the paperwork. thank you. bye-bye. >> how about that? >> oh, my gosh. >> the licensing supervisor med left me a voice mail that is a permanent record that says i should be good to go. that's as good as it gets right now. i'm going to mount that voice mail somewhere. >> yes, yes. oh, my gosh. we have been waiting for months for that. >> i can't wait to get a red
7:03 pm
badge like na. >> congratulations, baby. >> means some day i can one day leave the company. >> i called brian of the cannabis club to see what he was thinking with the main street fight. and he wants to be a [ bleep ] wholesaler. >> really? that changes things. >> if i fight for keeping shops on main street, he is the one person that benefits more than anyone out of that passing, which means i'm most directly putting money into the hands of a competitor. brandy has no idea what i'm doing, so he has no idea how stupid it was. >> he doesn't think you have anything like that going on in your mind, you know. >> completely. or is it better to take him down, hit him where it hurts now and not deal with it later? >> i went to breckenridge in 1988 right out of college to kill a year between figuring out what i was going to do with the rest of my life and started a
7:04 pm
small business and it has grown in a big business in breckenridge. i moved to breckenridge for 400 bucks and worked my tail off for a lot of years to accumulate the equity to build the buildings. when we finish our newest resort, we will have sold over a billion time shares in breckenridge. i talk to plenty of business people in this community who are fine with pot but not on main street today. as a community, let's take a mental bong hit and wait a couple of years. >> our town council just voted to take this issue to a special election, so they will be asking the people of breckenridge, basically an advisory question, trying to get direction of what the council should do. so if people vote yes, that means, yes, we want to see zoning for marijuana downtown in breckenridge, main street. if they vote no, that means we do not want to see any marijuana
7:05 pm
for sale downtown, which, for us, would mean we have to move. >> i still wish i wouldn't have voted in this special election. where was my spine? our town should not be in the business of picking and choosing where every little store is going to be. >> it has been months and months and months of discussion over what to do with zoning and is that fair? i know life's not fair, but i feel like in one has asked the question is it fair to make us move? they only ask eed about the competition, is it fair to them. we had had competitors downtown. another thing that is ironic. if we had the competitors downtown we had two or three years ago, we wouldn't be having this conversation because there is no way that the council would ask three businesses to move their location, safety in numbers. >> 34 years next month.
7:06 pm
i've lived at breckenridge. it changed in a lot of ways. the historic preservation has been fabulous. somebody wanted a good location to sell recreational marijuana, they probably want to be on main street or close to main street. we spent over a million dollars in the last four years putting in new landscaping, new sidewalks, to have the money that this town has to create a first class indoor ice arena, first class recreation center, building a $9 million library/community center/movie theater. but if we damage our sales tax revenue stream, then we may decrease our ability to fund all these goodies, these terrific amenities, so a lot of people talk about marijuana on main street, this is what they're worried about. we still don't know for sure if it is a problem or not for the brand, for the family oriented
7:07 pm
aspect of breckenridge. so that's why i've been a no vote from the get-go. >> i'm concerned that brian is being -- i'm concerned he doesn't expect to have to fight. if i didn't have a grill, i would probably just sit back quietly and see how it plays out. here's what i love and what i hate about business. you have to move. you have to do something. i don't know what that something is yet. but i have to do something. it is definitely a chess match. i am rich.

7:11 pm
i love all this new construction. i love the smell. it is like so much new different stuff all at one time. >> look at these tables. >> this is larger than the entire space we rented for our garden in breckenridge, by almost double. just this room. that included our bathroom and bed and trimming and everything. this is flour. this is one of our big flouring rooms. when we bought this building, it was 8,000 square feet. the second story wasn't here. >> just an empty concrete shell, more than anything, so we had to come in and build the inside of the building that we need and want. >> the way it needs to be for a professional garden. this will be the laboratory. this is where the extractors will go and they'll be processing the trim into concentrates. >> the idea is with all this extra bud, we'll have extra trim
7:12 pm
and products to make concentrate with. all of the little trimmings that you don't smoke, everything still gets the thc crystals all over it. >> there is so many uses for one plant between your whole bud that you're selling and your fan leaves which you're making into an oil for your edibles to your sugar leaf you're making into a concentrate. >> hash is now made using hydro carbon extraction using butane as the solvent. the difference being that the wax is going to be whipped and so it becomes frothy. and so there is residual solvents that come out a lot faster. you got a 12-hour purge on that. where as the shatter you're looking at no whipping and letting it sit, in a vac chamber. that's a seven to 12 day at lower temperatures, like 103-ish. >> something to keep in mind with concentrates is they're much stronger than your typical flower or bud. >> concentrate is like your tequila or whiskey.
7:13 pm
versus bud being your beer. >> and in a typical gram of marijuana, it ranges from 12% thc, all the way up to 27%, 28% thc. this year is 88% thc. >> this is wax. this is battery part, same thing like any cigarette has and the difference, ceramic foil in there, break a little piece off and put it in there and it burns. >> super scientific way to get high. >> it is illegal to make wax. you need a special license to do that. i want to say it is a monopoly, but they get it, so they get more business than most. >> well, right now we pay $15,000 a month just for the two stores we have to get all the wax they need processed. >> we would like to do 50/50 on wax shatter for all of our sugar leaf. >> so this trim trade contract is -- we're buying this trim for
7:14 pm
a dollar. and you're going to buy it back from us for 10 for wax, 12 for shatter. >> correct. >> two extractors against that wall with plenty of working space, right? >> absolutely. >> could have two more here. we want to process other people's stuff. so the money savings comes right away. >> come on in. we'll show you the extraction facility. >> how dangerous is this process? >> not nearly as dangerous as it used to be. >> we're being challenged with hash oil production. they force butane through the cannabis, and extracts the oil. you can get a spark from the compressor from the refrigerator or from the light switch and it will cause an explosion. >> from the research i've done, there is definitely a need for some regulations around setting up a room like this and there aren't any. worst case scenario, you have a leak you don't detect right away, the room fills up with gas and -- this corner of the
7:15 pm
building explodes, literally. literally. >> all of our gas is going to be reclaimed from this chamber back into here. if for any reason we didn't have some sort of leak or anything like that, we do have ducting systems in place. >> you could pull it right out of this room. >> and we have monitors in here now so if there is a leak, we're alerted to it. >> awesome. >> and in comparison, the safety of what it was before and where it is now, it is night and day. >> time we're done with this whole place, 16,800 square feet of lab, kitchen, flowering room, trimming, manicuring, offices, about 1.5 to $2 million. the biggest thing that ever happened to our company was recreational legalization, by far. the next biggest thing was deciding to use that potential to grow. instead of taking all the money home. every bit of profit is going back into the company. the very low margin for error. we don't have the $1.5 million now. we're doing this as we go.
7:16 pm
if during the election we lose, that means we have until february 2nd. so four months from now, we have to fund this project entirely or we would be out of business, it would be a nightmare. >> breckenridge galleries, i've had the business for 38 years. the base of support that we have is predominantly a second home base where we are shipping work all over the united states. >> i'm a bit of a libertarian. i don't know your political background. i believe in smaller governments, local governments, autonomy, to be able to do what the state of colorado chose to do with legalization and not have obama tell us one way or the other that i can or can't do something. >> i'm an independent. my bone isn't to pick with you. it is to pick with the town. it has been determined that you were going to move down to airport road. the fact you're going to be here and have a visual impact over the holiday period is disheartening to me. it is going to be great for you. it is going to be great for the
7:17 pm
sales tax revenue of breckenridge, but it is going to remove the character, the fiber and it is going to destroy -- i think in a very, very short period of time. >> could you tell me why you believe those new people are the kind of people that will destroy -- >> they do not want pot on main street because they want to bring their families here, their kids and their grandkids to breckenridge. >> you don't think people smoke weed love art. >> they might like to look at it. i think i could become a museum and nonprofit overnight and that's something that isn't going to fly. >> at this point, i don't think we have seen the magnitude of how it will affect us. we're both begging for our bread and butter here. i'm trying to lead this conversation with the potential for us to approach council or one of us to approach council and be able to agree when we leave the podium. you want to end it there.
7:18 pm
>> it was nice talking with you. >> hey, gary, let me ask you something. do you know the owner of the city market plaza? >> yeah. >> in that plaza, you got our biggest grocery store, biggest liquor store, it is on the us about roubus route. i think our sales will go up. i would walk off main street at the end of my lease in february or sooner if i could get into city market. city market is the only location in breckenridge we can go to that is still near the tourists. it is get the landlord to let us in there so we can end the whole controversy. >> we could basically stop this thing in its tracks. >> i would love to. >> i'll go to work for you. what i'll do is get this out, see who i can make contact with. >> i would love it, man. we have been dying for that for a year. grab a bud light and show it.

7:22 pm
i can't imagine any other business being as hard to run as this marijuana business has been. we both believe that if i was removed from the business, that things would just be a little bit easier on him and i and our personal relationship. whether tomorrow for me or five years down the road, hopefully we can get there one day.
7:23 pm
even though i might be buying meals for a whole week or for two weeks, when you see a $200 grocery bill, it is pretty hard to cough that up, especially when we're living on credit right now. i totally worry about brian being on his own, managing the business. even though i know he supports me and just wants me to be happy, i feel totally guilty walking away, not that i've done it yet, but i do plan to. there has been so much work for us to do that there are areas of expertise that i've taken on, for example, we have an online state mandated inventory tracking system that he has barely ever touched and that's a huge part of running this business. i think he's freaking out a little bit about all the stuff he has to learn. it is a lot more for brian to take on. fingers crossed that it works out. >> all right, thank you. >> this is a nice day off for me right now, a nice break from
7:24 pm
what i'm usually doing. >> if cameras could pick up scent. it is the lime green skunk there. in here, i have all of my flower and grills. i have medical marijuana license that allows me to grow. i have 12 plants. >> sonny probably knows more than almost anyone in the company about concentrates. >> i am going to oak creek to work underneath a chemist to really get the science down behind the hash. >> i think he's a really good fit for the job. >> big things hopefully for this guy. >> concentrate sales made up 20% of all of our sales, which, to us was -- >> shocking. we need to put him to work. >> hey. >> welcome to oc. >> right now it is still just potential, you know. if you're not nervous at this
7:25 pm
point, at least a little bit, you're not human. i have never dreamed of being able to make hash on this kind of scale in my life and it is going to be awesome. lots of hard work to do, but work ain't nothing. >> i'm still ruminating for sure. i will say that brian is not my first choice of someone to work with. i don't trust him. so any alliance would be a very calculated alliance. i really hate to lose. but i think that i have the appropriate strategy to make it win. >> who do you work for now? >> at the moment, i have no interest in this stake. at the moment, i am just interested in what's going on. i don't work for -- >> here is your skin in this game. >> i don't have any skin in this game right now. i care about the industry. i'm fearful that it is going to
7:26 pm
look like, hey, this town had marijuana and decided they didn't want it and are back peddling. >> we tasted legalization and it wasn't for us. >> yeah. >> sure, sure. >> i'm afraid that's going to look bad industriwise. >> if it goes the wrong way. >> if it goes the wrong way. >> she's being dishonest. i think she's hiding something. >> how do you feel about the election these days? >> i see it failing. >> really? >> i do. >> okay. >> i really do. i feel like you're in a situation where you need to find some friends. >> maybe. >> i would like to help you guys do that. >> what do you to gain from bringing us together? i still don't understand? i'm hesitant to work with someone who doesn't disclose their motivations. >> the value i bring is to help you campaign. that's what i'm talking about. coming in and helping you guys to organize in a sense in terms of what are you going to do, putting a plan in place and executing against that plan because i would love to step in and help. >> sure, sure. >> and my motivation is clearly money. >> yeah, right, to get -- i assume to get paper.
7:27 pm
have some outcome you want. >> everybody wants to get paid, yeah. absolutely. >> i believe she's got a plan. i don't believe she's telling me that plan. there is too many underlying motivations she won't discuss for me to trust her. imagine that i have a location picked out that is not sitting in the same parking lot as the other guys. i may leave voluntarily and ask the council to drop the topic, wash our hands, because if the vote happens and, people are quoiquo i going to be furious. >> too little too late. i get you're trying to be in a good position. >> well, i also don't want to be the center of controversy. >> i will scream from the top of my lungs at how ludicrous that is. there is no way i will sit back and watch you do that. that is the biggest load of [ bleep ]. >> what did i say that made her angry? >> i get frustrated with his
7:28 pm
attitude. he's smug with me. he's the guy who sits there and smiles and nods at you the whole time. >> i will challenge the [ bleep ] you. allowing it to fail is not an option. for you, you can think it was going to be allowed to fail, i'm not going to let that happen. i will walk into your competitors door tomorrow and i will say, we're fighting for this on main and this is why, and this is what you're paying me to do. first of all, he was pushing. he was looking for me to get to scare him into hiring me. >> there is clearly another reason that she wants this to happen. and i'm trying to figure that out. >> he in no way respects i'm a real threat to him and that's my doing. i would rather had him dismiss me and share more information than he should with me. so no, i'm not insulted at all. i know that right now he thinks his contingency plan is better than anybody else's. at this point, he either can cooperate in the fight to be on main street, or he can be hurt

more crew up, it is going to be a whole different scene out there. >> the hardest part breaking through the regulations and ensuring you can comply with all of them it is very expensive and time consuming. we're going to finish this construction up here and open the infused products, the laboratory, the kitchen. we have that whole mess to deal with. that's the largest section of regulations that exists. edible products have been the big hang-up in legalized marijuana. >> there are growing concerns about public safety, especially when it comes to edible products. pot brownie or cookie may contain nearly a dozen doses of marijuana. >> the side effects can be serious including delirium and psychosis. >> rules are right down below. brownie, cereal bar, this is a rookie cookie, like a ten milligram entry level dose. >> prior to january 1st, speaking to some of our paramedics, we really can't recall edible marijuana incid t
7:34 pm
incidents. we have run approximately 25 calls. >> i think one of the mistakes we made in colorado to date is in the area of edibles. the marijuana products that are sold today are quite different than those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s experienced. >> edible marijuana products, they're the toughest ones to ensure consistent potency and proper usage. >> what we have is somebody who will take a couple of bites of a cookie and not feel any effect. naturally their response is to eat more and more and more. >> the idea that you would have a cookie and the recommended dose of marijuana would be one eighth of a cookie, that's crazy. >> one brownie, i've seen mess up 250 pound guys, and 100 pound guys the same. >> people just aren't listening, aren't reading the labeling, they eat the whole thing. >> a lot of folks might eat one candy bar in one setting. that's where they get into trouble. this candy bar contains five
7:35 pm
doses of edible marijuana. >> the drug itself will not be something that causes any danger for the patient. but we haven't consistently come up with what is an appropriate dosage for those different concentrations of marijuana. that kind of public education would really save us from a lot of people having problems with overdoses. >> always something different, we have seen grandma or grandpa huddled in the corner of the room. you look up and say you guys are here because my brain is trying to eat itself. >> wee reassure them that hey, you're high, and this too shall pass. the biggest negative to what we see is we get called out in one of these incidents, a benign incident, it detracts from our ability to respond to possibly a more severe incident. it is like any new hazard that we're faced with, we have to adapt to it. >> i tried to overdose on weed
7:36 pm
one time. just slept for, like, 17 hours. >> hey, man. >> what's up, dude. >> i'm going to prepare the filters and ducting and when i need you, are you ready for the mussel? >> sounds good. >> the building inspector was confident that the little things i have to get done are no big deal. i pointed out a bunch of nuances, we have a whole in the wall which and a hole in the wall there that we haven't closed yet. those have to be done before we can get certified. i have to get the filters hung. you and me together. we're trying to get it all done as fast as possible. >> so close yet so far. >> when you think we're going to get plants in here. >> i'm hoping to bring them up here on friday. the inspector said today had we passed today from their perspective we would have been good to go. he doesn't see why we won't pass on friday. every time we think we're done, it is more money. every time we spend money, it's not all of the money that needs
7:37 pm
spent. we're all waiting for the day this thing is up and running. >> doing a great job. >> thanks. i think we switched roles from what i had planned. originally. >> how is it going? >> good. crazy. >> yeah? >> you're all over the place right now? >> all over the place, just trying to get geared up for the season and -- >> so essentially pretty much tomorrow or the next few days it is time to kick off this campaign for advocating for marijuana on main street. >> are we fighting to stay on main? >> now that we're moving down this and now that i'm more involved in the industry, given what we're doing and given our partnership, i start to worry about the industry as a whole. it is going to like breckenridge said, we're for marijuana, but wait, we're not really okay,
7:38 pm
we're going to hide you away and think about it for a while. >> i feel the exact opposite. >> okay. >> i feel like -- >> i did not expect to have this conversation. >> people would respect it more if it wasn't so abrasive. >> so here's the -- there's two sides. we own soul shine dispensary. we're on airport road. i grew up very religious, very sheltered. most of my family does not know what i do. they don't know we own soul shine. my oldest son is 9. they have no kline whclue what a is. as a dispensary owner, i don't feel we have an advantage by being on main street whatsoever, except bcc. >> when i met with brian, a week or two ago, he told me and who knows, right, so one of the opposition landlords has offered him a lease that is off main,
7:39 pm
out of that downtown overlay district, but is in a better location than where you guys are. >> okay. where's that? >> my immediate response was city market. and he said, they're not letting anybody in there. but the thing is, if there is a landlord opposed to marijuana and has said no to everyone this whole time, but by allowing brian to buy that lease out, would actually remove it from main street, they may be willing to do that now. if it's half a mile closer, he retains the tourist market. there is a dilemma if it loses, bri brian gets kicked off main, but if he has a significant lease, he has an advantage over you guys for years to come and he'll still continue to hold that monopoly on the tourist market. >> i agree with a lot of what you're saying. i just feel like we're -- we're picking the wrong battle. >> it is the uncertainty. i don't think it is a good thing
7:40 pm
in any business. and i think that those that are on the put pot shops on main street side of the argument, they don't know, they're making an assumption that it won't hurt or that it may help. i think that's a level of arrogance almost to think that you know that it is going to be okay. when you don't, no one else does. out on the veranda, we enjoy finger sandwiches and other assorted dainties. i wear nothing less than the finest designer footwear. wherever i go, the paparazzi capture my every move. yes, i am rich. that's why i drink the champagne of beers. gummy multivitaminrst ever from centrum. a complete, and tasty new way to support... your energy... immunity... and metabolism like never before.

7:46 pm
why would we choose to alienate those people by having such an in your face statement with legalized pot. started a clinical action committee that is trying to send a message to council via special election that we don't want retail marijuana stores on main street. in our community, we rarely let an individual business start to dictate policy for the balance of the community. i hope that brian can accept the result of the election. if you're on the wrong side of it, you don't like it, but, you know, hey, that's the way our country works. >> i have not seen brian really step up and motivate anyone outside of his friends. when brian says to me, i don't want to spend a lot of money, i bang my head against the wall because what do you mean you don't want to spend a lot of money. do you understand how much money there is to lose? brian is in the right place at the right time on january 1st. he made a ton of money. he made a [ bleep ] ton of
7:47 pm
money. that ton of money he can use to propel his business. no one else made that money. brian made it because he had a monopoly on main street. cash is king in this business and he's about to lose the cash cow if he doesn't do something. >> catherine. >> want to call her back? >> not at the moment, no. >> right here. >> good girl. >> stressing this election. go get it. i moved up here, i changed my life for this position. it is stressful. probably the most stressful nine months of my life, for sure. i don't know my boss' plan. i'm here to do a lot of what they tell me to do and what not to do. i don't know what his plan is. >> my gut today says it is going to fail. god, i hate that. i mean, i hate to admit i'm

wrong. i've offered -- i told brian and caitlin, i can introduce you to some great people that can run this campaign for you. nothing. like, i can't help them if they do not want to be helped. it is not my job. i mean, it is not my business. i've done all i can do for brian and caitlin. >> it is not my business. i worked hard for this for a consecutive ten months, he's done this for five years. so, i mean, he always has something in his back pocket. i hope he has some other move going on. that's all i can hope for. i put faith in him. >> hello. >> i've got another question. >> yeah, what's up. >> we are trying to figure out some stuff in the accounting system. >> joy. >> you seem to be the best one at this since the rest of us
7:49 pm
really don't use it. right now nick and i are trying to do the accounting because breckenridge, the cannabis club, paid a bill with its on hand cash for the crest view wellness center. >> yep, yep. >> i want to know how do we account for that so that it affects the safe count at breckenridge but pays the bill and accounts for it as an expense of the crest view center in case we ever want to do -- >> it is hard. brian and i are very dedicated. and we're very passionate about the business. and if the two of us can't get all of the work done that we need to get done, you know, it just certainly runs through my mind how is brian going to be able to hand it all on his own. and i know that he doesn't stress about the business the same way that i do, but i would still worry about him. the business needs me too much for me to just be able to walk away, but, you know, there are
7:50 pm
other things i want to do with my life besides just work. hi. >> what's wrong? >> nothing. same old, same old. kind of over it. >> i heard that. >> i know. bud light and show i. try new things, make new friends, explore new places. find the fun around every corner. better yet, be the fun. laugh. dance. spin. jump! make a single weekend last a lifetime. and keep it going with a crisp, refreshing bud light. the perfect beer for whatever happens. is it beating? ver your heart. good! then my nutrition heart health mix is for you. it's a wholesome blend of peanuts,

7:54 pm
we're waiting for the inspector to show up. it is a huge day. if we can get permitted today, this is big. we'll be moving the first round of plants into the new flower rooms. the plants are getting way too tall. if they get any taller, they'll be too tall for the flowering room and we may actually have to kill them or hack them back to a point where they're not going to produce the way they were once going to. we're talking about six grand a day that we're not making because we're behind schedule. i went around and caulked there is clear caulk around. i caulked everything in here. >> i got a mechanical. >> yep. >> and i also got a plumbing. >> no. >> i can't give you a tco. >> without that. i was hoping that this was saying just to do this room. >> you do have to have
7:55 pm
bathrooms. >> okay. all right. yep. >> so before i can have plants up here you have to get upstairs, wash your hands and have a handrail, is that accurate? >> yes. >> i just shut a breaker off. >> i saw that. >> pretty simple. >> so you need more power. you need more circuits, more breakers, more, bigger, battery. >> you got it. >> not a fail. it is a reinspection required. take one outlet out of every four pack. i apologize. you have more work to do. >> until this project, we never failed an inspection ever. i feel like we fail 80% of when you come to look at here. this has been a disaster. >> it is an unfortunate situation. it seems to be all marijuana shops on main or none. and brian has the one caught in the cross hairs as the sole marijuana shop. as far as what brian had the
7:56 pm
opportunity or was hoping to have the opportunity to do was to get into the city market development, and it appears that it absolutely made no sense to the developer. >> the fact that brian isn't putting money behind this either, he's dumb or he has some secret plan. >> hands are tied at this point. you hope the community comes out and supports us. i don't know the type of smear campaign that dudic will put out there. i don't know what his plan is. basically attack on us is all it is. it is not shops off main street. it is my shop off main street. >> i don't want to be the point person necessarily on this pack thing because i don't want people to, you know, point the finger at mike and say, he's against this, and he's the big bad wolf kind of thing. that's not where we're coming from on this at all. i don't like being a lightning rod for stuff like that. i'm a business guy. i'm pro business in this
7:57 pm
community. that's what i did. >> dudic is just being a -- so infuriating. i don't know what to say. give me a break, man. he makes millions of dollars and he's on his way to make more millions of dollars and he's worried about a pot shop run by two people. >> it is an interesting message that we're sending so soon and to at least my term by having a special election. the right people pressured, the right people. and that just doesn't seem like a good reason to go to a special election. >> i think at this point, the town made its call and we'll take it to a vote december 9th is a little bit of time in the history of breckenridge. >> since it is going to the special ballot question, i can see, i'll vote the way the public wants. >> i can't single-handedly raise my hand and say vote for pot. i mean, dudic is going to rip me
7:58 pm
to shreds. >> i don't understand why we as a community would risk more of our brand, and the risk is lost business. and the benefit is it is more convenient for people to buy it. that's the only upside to the argument to have pot shops on main street, more convenient for the consumers of a sought good that they have to travel somewhere to, you know, couple of miles to buy it. i think people should think -- they should weigh the risks and the benefits. >> dudic comes in and thinks it is okay to just kick a business out of town because he doesn't like it, i mean, or he does like it, he comes and shops at our store, could he be any more hypocritical. give me a break. >> i buy retail. >> recreational? >> yeah, yeah. i've been in there. i have no problem with pot. i think that the thing that -- >> you voted against it, though.
7:59 pm
>> no. >> being on main. >> i wanted them to move. i think brand breckenridge main street is it doesn't belong there. >> for you, as a local, why -- >> it was convenient. i mean, i went to bcc because i didn't want to drive down there. >> bcc. >> they're great. they're nice people. i'm happy they're doing well, but i think that this -- i'm trying to look at this from 30,000 feet and not three feet in the weeds, so -- >> you're going to lose this campaign. >> i disagree. >> you are a dumb [ bleep ] sometimes. >> if anyone wants to register to vote, i have forms. >> i'm a free market capitalist. >> you don't believe in the free market approach to marijuana. >> at least 50% of dispensaries take black market marijuana. >> we have become the black market for at least 40 other states that we can identify. >> we're going to now have drug dealers downtown. >> part of me has been, like,
8:00 pm
screw it, let's leave town altogether. >> try to tell us what businesses can and can't be run and i think it is absolutely ridiculous. >> if revenue gets cut in half, we need less than half of the employees right now. >> we're going to be known as the council that is kicking the business off main street. my grandparents teach that there are some people who have been in madagascar before. they were very little people and they live in forests and they respect their environment.
