Greetings cultivators from around the world. Jordan River here back with more grow cast just for you, radiation free. Today we have grant Smith Ellis, a first time guest on the line. He is a freelance journalist, and he is covering the cure relief scandals that have been going on. Multiple investigations now opened into this large cannabis company. Now this episode is a little bit different than we usually do, right? We'll be right back to the cultivation education, you guys. But as you know, we stand for home growers, home grower rights, increasing plant counts, protecting and spreading these home grow rights. So we have to cover events like this that severely affect companies that have actively lobbied against what we do, trying to make what we do illegal again, essentially. So today's episode is all about the recent scandals that have rocked cure relief, and it's a very interesting episode. Grant is an amazing guest.

I'm your host, Jordan River, and I want to thank you for tuning in again today. Before we get started as always, I urge you to share this show. Turn someone on to growing. Hit that little send link and send this episode to a medical patient. This is a great episode to share. And of course, see everything we're doing, all of the action can be found at growcast podcast.com/action there. You'll see the seeds and the classes and the membership and all the good stuff. Today we are diving deep. It's a deep dive. Everybody. You know, I love the deep dives, but this episode is a little bit different. We're taking a little bit of a turn off of the beaten path of cultivation education, but for very good reason, I don't do episodes like this a lot, but this is important stuff to cover, especially because here at grow cast, our whole mission is overgrow. Our whole mission is expanding and protecting home grow rights to get as many people growing their own cannabis at home as possible. That is the whole mission of grow cast in the order of cultivation, so we don't take many hard stances. But if you are out there lobbying against home grow, if you are out there pushing back against these laws, well we can't stand for that. And there's been some really, really interesting developments in this exact space. So today we're going to be talking about a company that a lot of you have heard about, and it deserves its own episode as we explore the history of this company and the new happenings that are going down as we speak. And for our guest, a first time guest, we have an expert on this subject, Grant Smith Ellis. He is a journalist. He is a disabled grassroots policy activist. He is an incredible cannabis activist. He is currently going to school studies law at New England law in Boston, and he is working hard, digging into this stuff in the cannabis industry, and doing this hard snooping work, bringing this stuff to light. I'm super excited to speak to grant. How's it going? Grant, can you hear
