done in the meantime to push back our deadline so maybe we can ask the voters the right question which is should the cannabis club be allowed to stay put? >> ask a lawyer, there's something we can do. i've got ten wrenches in my tool box that we can put to work. >> hi, ali. >> hi, y'all. >> i thought i heard you. >> hi! >> how you doing? >> okay. hi. okay. i brought you a present. i'm sorry. this isser for your staff. >> we're happy to do it. >> this is it. it's the southerner in me. nothing helps bad times like sugar, butter. >> that was nice. it all went so fast. we didn't have time though there were weeks between the meetings to step back and think about what it would do. i think we'll have some unintended consequences now when

7:06 pm
>> i was surprised. i thought it was going to be close. people were concerned about the what if this hurts our brand? if we end up with four, five shops in downtown. >> the town council shouldn't cede their responsibility to voterers every time the question is hard. that's what they have done. they kicked it to voters where it was susceptible to political engineering by the rich interests in town. >> there are hard feelings out there. i hope we can put it behind us and move forward. we'dcitizenry to come with us. >> brian and caitlyn can't rely on politicians. they have a strong legal claim are. we need to stand up for that and i think we can win. totally shocking. every time we have gone to a vote it's 70% in favor. you got bamboozled. >> they lumped us in with mystery store s. >> it was about whether they
7:07 pm
wanted the amsterdam five stores of breast canc of breckenridge. i think a judge would give us an injunction but it doesn't solve your problem. you have a february 2 shutdown date. >> current law si says february 2. can the injunction provide relief from that ordinance? >> yes. we would sue and say you can't treat bcc different from a t-shirt shop. anybody you allow and prohibit later you have to grandfatherer them in. that's what we would be asking the court. stop the shutdown by the february 2 deadline. >> we have a meeting with the m.e. d. to change loeks on the 29th. can we get an injunction before then? i don't want to start the ball rolling and have to unstop it. >> we can postpone the meeting. >> the only problem is if it takes three, four weeks to schedule an appointment to come and inspect and we don't have an appointment to schedule the inspection until the first week
7:08 pm
in january we could be out of business for 7, 10, 20, 30 days. >> i could file suit by friday for you. >> i think we have to. it's up to you. >> i don't know what to do. >> i told you, look, here is the strategy. sue the town and let's postpone the shutdown date. >> i never liked the sound or idea of suing the town. after months of our livelihood being threatened, we have still played nice. this is what we get for it. we are getting kicked out of our location. i guess we're suing the town of breckenridge. >> as awful as it sounds that's what has to happen. ♪ ♪ ♪

have been talking to the wrong people, getting the wrong information. the assumption we have been operating under is we had to partner with a dispensary. everything we have been told is completely false. they said it is 46 to 90 days for approval. they said to expect more like 90 now. say a month before we even get an appointment, three months before the paperwork is approved and processed. then plants go in the next day. two months to first or veharves? >> no. >> six months? >> two months of flowering. we're look willing at three to four months. >> seriously, all i want to do is get home, get high and crawl into bed, so desperateliment eight months if everything started tomorrow. >> right. >> when i originally got into

7:23 pm
that we could win and if there is a clear injustice then we're in. is. >> i talked to the town attorney. some things, more of the facts have come out and i am a little concerned. the point is we had this medical system for these years when you guys started. then the recreational thing came around. it really is a new regulatory structure. we are fighting an uphill battle in front of judges that i have spent 50 years putting people this in prison for marijuana. now we are asking them to treat marijuana dealers like other business people. i think there is danger that they will say, we told you from the beginning you couldn't be here. we though that will be their argument. look, i'm not saying you don't have a lawsuit. you do. i guess what i'm saying is the more i see the facts i'm a little concerned that we are not going to have as strong of a case. what i think you guys should do is start gathering the
7:24 pm
signatures. put together a ballot petition which we basically already have. sue the town. you have to decide what the bottom line is. but even keeping you open through ski season will be hundreds of thousands of dollars. if you say, we have the lawsuit and a ballot. if you keep us open until the the end of the season we'll drop it all. >> i feel like right now, you know, everyone already pit much hates us. on one hand it's like, why not go ahead and sue. on the other hand, i don't want to make them hate us more. >> i don't know if they hate us. >> i feel like they do. what's your confidence rate we would win the suit if we wenter forward? >> the likelihood of litigating this to the end and winning is probably a toss-up. i feel like you can't win if you don't play. i'm not pushing you in that direction. i'm not the one doing the day to day stuff. i think that's the only hope if you want to stay longer.
7:25 pm
>> i don't like the language he was using. i don't want the sue just to stay for a couple of months. we're going to piss off everybody in town. we have been fighting for so long. i don't want to take on a battle or a fiegtd we may not win. >> i don't want to go to council and say, we are suing you unless you give us three, four more months. >> i don't want an extension. i want the to stay this the location we chose five years ago. that's all i wanted. i'm sick of people saying, you know, you're not planning. they already gave you an extension. they were already nice enough. that's not what happened. we were supposed the to have stayed there forever. it's pretty short-sighted to only be concerned about the next two months when we are trying to be in breckenridge for years. we are trying the to be in colorado for years. >> our business plan has been bigger than breck.
7:26 pm
we have crested butte, oak creek, plans for expansion in both areas. [ sighs ] >> if we were to sue frivolously or just as a way of dragging this out for short-term profits our long-term profits would suffer. people would not shop at the store just because we sued the town. we don't want to sue the town and now we aren't going to. instead, we are continuing to focus on just moving as quickly as possible. 60 days to move. here we are three or four weeks into that. >> that's [ bleep ] bull [ bleep ]. >> i think our plan is pretty solid. we will retain the majority of the sales we have on main street. when we go to to airport road we'll also take advantage of the parking lot market. it was half the market. i think it's win-win. i don't want the to call it
7:27 pm
giving up. i want the to call it the end of the road. there is nothing else to do that's appropriate at this point in time. >> i don't really want to sue anybody anyways. >> that chapter is over. our store is no longer on main street. we are going to airport road and we are going to compete down there. >> we only have three and a half weeks to tear down these walls, build the new place, get it inspected and be open for business. >> whoo! look at all the damage i did. >> coming through. >> i'm a soccer player. >> mm-hmm. >> starting to bring down the ceiling.
7:28 pm
>> we are down here tearing insulation and walls down to build out the store on airport road. meanwhile, on main street. >> flying out the door. that's in front of the store now. >> out the door? >> out the door. go get him. i hope we have a line the that long out here. >> i know. ♪ an hors d'oeuvre for the table? ♪ perhaps even an elegant gesture for the neighbors. ♪ stella artois host beautifully
7:29 pm
7:32 pm
no one in their right mind would build out a new store before the election in preparation for a no vote. they would wait until the vote happened, wait for it to be certified and start building out. we are going to try just to get it done this 60 days even though i can't imagine they would ask another business to move from one location to another with 60 days' notice. i'm not 100% sure we'll make it. i'm fairly certain. for now, everything is the same at the cannabis club until february 1. we'll probably close early that day at 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. so we have four or five hours to get everything here before midnight. we'll have a permit from are the state to move the product from there to here. we can do it only one time. we can't have it in both places. it has to go with the permit and
7:33 pm
that one is no longer ever again open as a weed store. i think we'll try an experiment to keep the cannabis club where it's atment use it as a rethe feral program. doing business as breckenridge cannabis club. >> vieright. >> the sign is already qualified. i think it will remain hanging. >> we use that space as a gift shop and it's a different business with bcc stickers, hats, smoking accessories. >> people will expect marijuana. when they get there and they are disappointed we don't sell weed anymore we can tell them how we got kicked off main street but they will allow a shop that sells cannabis-related materials to be there and we give them a map with directions and the bus route to the store on airport road. on the other side, good for 10% or 15% off. they come down to airport road. if they have the 10% off card why go to the other shops?
7:34 pm
the biggest benefit is certainly marketing to tourists. >> they won't know where are to go unless someone tells them where to go. we have to do it. do you want to do an 8th ounce? okay. so we'll still be the breckenridge cannabis club but it will be a head shop. >> you don't sell it? >> not here . two miles down the road. >> in the other store. a little farther away. no big deal. >> cool. you'll still shop? >> i get it. it's a family environment, right on main street. i can respect that. i disagree. i do understand the other side of the coin. if i have to walk two blocks down the road to pick it up, i'm okay with it. seems like a fair compromise. i would have preferred to have it stay here. >> it's actually two miles is. >> two miles? i thought it was two blocks. that's a drive. having to walk to the industrial district wouldn't have been
7:35 pm
feasible for me today. there you go. >> in the last 24 hours, we learned that we may not be able to open on february 2 like we initially anticipated. we went down to the marijuana enforcement division. we applied to change from the main street location to the new location. they told us it might be 45 or 60 days to approve an application we thought would take only a couple of days at most to approve. >> it's tuesday. we have six days to move. 45 to 6 0 days is just not doable for us to have the to shut down the store te, not be open. >> that's 12 employees of ours that wouldn't have an income for two months during the time of year when they have their best income. >> i don't know how i feel right
7:36 pm
now. >> we are now going to go to the town council in breckenridge and ask for an extension beyond february 2nd. >> i really, really wish we didn't have to show thup council chambers tonight to asker for an extension. besides shutting down it's the last thing i want to do. >> okay-. the breckenridge town council regular meeting will come to order on tuesday, january 27. come down, state your name for the record. we'd like to hear what you have to say. >> just me. my name is brian rogers. the breckenridge cannabis club is formally asking the town council to consider an emergency ordinance granting an extension to the cannabis club to remain in its current location for 60 days or 48 hours after the cannabis club receives its permit from the marijuana enforcement division to change locations, whichever is shorter. we have never been closed one day many the history of the
7:37 pm
company and i would hate for something other than market forces the bureaucracy of the situation to close us down for our first time ever. we have been in for a modification of premise applicationer four times. they have all been approved while we sat there during the application process. this was very new and surprising to us that it was not happening immediately. i'm here tonight asking to please not shut us down down or help us not be shut down. >> there is some language into what constitutes an emergency ordinance. the extension for a retail organization may not fit that bill. >> it's unfortunate. i wish we could have predicted the days better. >> i personally do not feel it rises to the level of an emergency. >> i don't think anybody's intention is to put anybody out of business. i hope not. i don't think that's anybody's situation. this is a tough situation,
7:38 pm
brian. i think we thought you would come the last meeting is. >> i appreciate there is no room for the opposition. i appreciate that. i was hoping there was room for the fact that it was the on is sigs who asked for 60 days after i asked for 90 and we brought it down to 60 because i was trying to anticipate this. now i feel a little jaded that we asked for 90 to be fair and honest to the process. and this process is long and unknown. it's arduous. we have never been through it in this town ever. this is a unique situation. i was hoping you could find a way to unite around an emergency to employ the 12 people for any number of days they may be out of work and for a situation that's never been seen this this town before. >> i would like to see if anybody would like to make a motion to add this to our agenda. >> i'm sympathetic to your situation. i don't think it rises to the level of an emergency. or an emergency ordinance. i'm sorry. >> so we will close the matter, brian. thank you for coming to us and
7:39 pm
talking to us. >> i wish they would recognize 12 people going without work for any number of days as an emergency. i think our government has lost its way a little bit around here. e 30 years of customer records. our cloud can keep them safe and accessible anywhere. my drivers don't have time to fill out forms. tablets. keep them all digital. we're looking to double our deliveries. our fleet apps will find the fastest route. oh, and your boysenberry apple scones smell about done. ahh, you're good. i like to bake. with at&t get up to $400 dollars in total savings on tools to manage your business.

7:48 pm
is definitely this, there is so much easy money to be made. they're drugs. drug dealers are all rich. come on. that's not even remotely true. what we are here to do is ensure the consumer can find a consistent quality product. make sure no matter what dispensary you walk into, you can pick up a little bud you know you can trust. >> clever gent represents passion. passion is what got us here today. >> in this industry you get thrown a curve ball left and right all the time. you have to figure out how to accommodate the situation you're sitting in. this is situation i'm sitting in. sitting in an empty room. >> to lie. this industry is [ bleep ] hard. this industry is [ bleep ] hard. right? that said, clever gent is here to stay. clever gent is going to stand the test of time. >> when all is said and done and everybody is added up together

license number two. that we don't have. we'll go there. i only got off the phone with investigator forest like ten or 15 minutes ago. i keep refreshing the page every few seconds. >> do you see it? >> here it is. per our conversation this morning attached is the kaeng of location permit for the breckenridge cannabis club llc.
7:54 pm
yes! >> is this all pretty much pot here? >> everything in the room is thc-related. >> for now before we unlock that door let's get everything to the bottom of the stairs that we are taking. that way it's that much closer. it's bittersweet. we got to be here and that's more than anyone else has gotten to say at this time. where are lids to these things? >> we did about 50% of all of breckenridge's sales out of this one store. we acquired the crested butte center in that time period. we acquired a building to grow our new garden and put the lab in, kitchen in. went to brand the wholesale line. none of those things would not have happened if we weren't here on opening day like we planned. we feeded this situation to spring board us into big competitor status. you have to have that ideaed to

go from small potatoes to big player. this is not the ideal ending to what we have been trying to accomplish for the last year and a half. we have the edibles, concentrates,er dw concentrates, garden, wholesale stuff and that's bigger than this store was ever going to be. we are always dreaming big. sometimes bigger than maybe is possible. if you aim high and get close you're still way up there. ♪ there is no looking back. after today that's behind us. it's full steam ahead. >> slowly but surely getting over to the new location. are where are we at? one more minute on main street. >> this is a sad moment. >> i don't want to watch that.

♪ >> february 2, day one, new location. yep. the image was the big question of this all along. breck cannabis club was ruining our image of downtown. the irony at the end of the day, that sign is not going anywhere. the tourists still see this this. they still see it. nothing has changed from that aspect. by them staying here and selling souvenir-type things, they will have a larger visual impact of marijuana than they did before. this is crazy.
7:57 pm
a year of so much money spent on this campaign. all the heart ache. it was heart ache. all of that seems to just be a waste now. because that sign is still staying there. i kind of just want to look at the opposition and say, you probably never thought about this this, d did you? in the end, who really wins here? >> we are not a cannabis shop ni anymore. we got moved. we are on airport road now. >> it's way past? >> city market is probably a mile from here. then just a mile down airport road. this will give you 10% off. >> i hope when we see discount cards we'll know the referral service is working and the thousands of dollars we're paying to rent downtown is paying for itself. we are referring people to the

airport road, to our business specifically. >> this is not a repudiation of the decriminalization of marijuana by any means. it is only a repudiation of the location. >> we as a town have been disingenuous a bit. here we supported legalization of marijuana. but then now we don't want our visitors to know we support it. instead, we are losing some of our identity to look perfect. >> we are trying to craft a community that is a sustainable economy and this crafting may homogenize our community. it may detract from that quirk yness that we have embraced for years and years and years.
7:59 pm
it is a government reaching in and saying this business doesn't belong. are we putting our guests, our tourists on some sort of pedestal? and valuing that person more than a downtown business? the short answer is yes. >> the time has come to say no more. >> i'm not a crook. ♪ >> dynamite! >> don't with b a wise guy, huh? ♪ we will rock you

>> good morning, angels. >> good morning, charlie. ♪ i didn't even think about it. about death. but shooting at those things, anybody in the camera was shot. immediately. by a russian soldier. at that time, i didn't think about that. but i found that i had to think about it. >> you were alive and holding a camera at a very important time in history. you had to think, i'm doing something important. >> it's very easy to make pictures, but pictures mean something, what's in it. that's a totally different story.
