Dude smoking on the phone while Scottie's talking way too long got time to smoke one more

Taking the message to the people now keep smoking and growing and watching prohibitions fall down what's up DGC I am super psyched today because one of my, actually, I should say, you are not one of my favorite authors, David. You are my favorite author. David Montgomery is in the house. What's up, brother?

0:45.9

All right. Hey, I'm doing fine. Love to hear that. I do. I love it, man. I was trying to figure out. I've been growing plants since, I don't know, the early 90s. And I was always like, well, it's cool, you put these chemicals on there and they grow. And it took me a long
