1. 0:00My name is Greg Krzanowski, aka Chem
2. 0:03Dog. I go by that all right cuz I hate
3. 0:05doing this [ __ ] I'm nervous as hell. It
4. 0:07took me 5 years to get to this level.
5. 0:09I'm like the dude yesterday who was
6. 0:10like, "I'm nervous." I was like that 5
7. 0:12[laughter] years ago. And I was like,
8. 0:13"I've been growing pot since I've been
9. 0:1516. I'm going to be 53." I found the
10. 0:18Chem Dog when I was
11. 0:2018 going on the Grateful Dead parking
12. 0:22lot scene. We would all see the all the
13. 0:24shows. It was a whole month. It was
14. 0:25awesome. I was on the parking lot
15. 0:27looking for bud cuz I was just got out
16. 0:29of high school. So, I asked some people,
17. 0:29"Do you have any [music] kind bud? Find
18. 0:31bud." And we went out and looked at him
19. 0:32and went to this car. And they had a
20. 0:34Subaru. They sitting in the back. They
21. 0:36had a big backpack. And they pulled out
22. 0:37some of the best smelling weed I've ever
23. 0:39seen in my life at that point. And it
24. 0:40was great. They sold me that quarter. I
25. 0:43tried to pack the that bowl of it. And
26. 0:45it was some of the best [music] tasting
27. 0:47pot I've ever smoked in my life. And I
28. 0:49went back home. And I was like, "Man,
29. 0:50I'd love to get some more of that pot."
30. 0:51I reached out. And it was actually Joe
31. 0:53Vee. And he was like, "Hey, is there any
32. 0:54way you can get some of that pot?" So,
33. 0:56he sent me an ounce back to
34. 0:57Massachusetts. And then when I got that
35. 0:59ounce, it actually had 13 seeds.
36. 1:01And that's was the start of the Chem 91
37. 1:04came from.
38. 1:05Well, honestly, I was smart about it.
39. 1:07I've had the Chem Dog logo and my the
40. 1:08name trademark for over 18 years now.
41. 1:11And I went to a lot of Dead shows, a lot
42. 1:12of Phish shows. So, when I was out there
43. 1:14with I had really good weed. And you
44. 1:16know, I blow glass too. So, everybody
45. 1:18was coming to me to buy glass and this
46. 1:19really good weed I had. So, it was
47. 1:21really like I was marketing my shop in a
48. 1:23way. And I didn't really know it. And I
49. 1:25[ __ ] got that strain [music] out
50. 1:27there.
51. 1:27>> We're talking about the tour of the
52. 1:29pharmacy today.
53. 1:30So, tell us about the trip to the
54. 1:32flower. How was that?
55. 1:33>> Yeah, I had a great trip yesterday to
56. 1:34the [music] flower over
57. 1:35down South Florida, their grow facility.
58. 1:37It was probably the best facility I've
59. 1:40seen ever in my life. And I've seen a
60. 1:41lot of facilities.
61. 1:42>> [music]
62. 1:43>> Uh the nicest.
63. 1:44Um I could eat off the [ __ ] tables,
64. 1:45which is beautiful. And the growers that
65. 1:48do the workers there the they're some of
66. 1:50the best driving force that I'm proud to
67. 1:53do this partnership. I'm [music] really
68. 1:54happy about this partnership. And hands
69. 1:55down, they have some of the best flower
70. 1:57in the state of Florida. Actually, they
71. 1:58have the best flower in the state of
72. 1:59Florida.
73. 2:01And I want to say probably some of the
74. 2:02best flower, you know, in the United
75. 2:04States, [music] you know,
76. 2:05for sure. I smoke a lot of flower, so I
77. 2:07know what I'm talking about here.
78. 2:09We need to fill more rooms now.
79. 2:11Need a little more. You need to grow
80. 2:12more cuz it will sell. I saw when I was
81. 2:13at the pop-up today, I was at the store
82. 2:15today in Miami and the
83. 2:17eight or nine people I interacted with
84. 2:18were all buying eights. Very, very
85. 2:20well-run system. Very well like very
86. 2:23very good. Can't really say, you know, I
87. 2:26was like a kid in a candy store honestly
88. 2:27yesterday, you know. So, one of the
89. 2:29things yesterday when I was at the grow
90. 2:30that I wanted to have too is that the
91. 2:32the the it's it's
92. 2:34what makes their flower so good and what
93. 2:36they do down there is all these guys, a
94. 2:38lot of them the crew down [music] there,
95. 2:39it's all about the passion. And when you
96. 2:41have passion for the plant like that,
97. 2:42it's just going to do you wonders, so
98. 2:44[music]
99. 2:45you know, being true to the plant,
100. 2:46having a passion like this, you know,
101. 2:47that's what one of the things we all
102. 2:48share here. We're [music] all
103. 2:49passionate. It's not about the you know,
104. 2:51we're culture and passion. That's what
105. 2:53really [music] drives.
106. 2:54The energy goes into the flower and the
107. 2:56flower energy goes into the people.
108. 2:58So, look at this. Can we get a picture
109. 2:59of this cuz this guy stood with the
110. 3:01whole time with me.
111. 3:03You should know that I've had a friend
112. 3:05the whole interview.
113. 3:06>> [laughter]
114. 3:08>> Benny, wake up.
115. 3:08>> Benny, there you go, buddy.
