Steve: My name is Friar Steve

and I'm the keeper of the green guild.

(funky r&b music)

Born in California my parents
divorced when I was a kid.

Dad lived in northern California, or,

mom lived in southern California.

Dad lived in northern California.

Blah blah, and I spent most of my time

traveling back and forth
between two places.

And after high school
I went to the military

and then I got out, went to college

Got my master's degree.

And when back in the
military as an army officer.

I was in a ranger battalion,
the 1st Airborne Ranger

and went back in the 82nd.

Did my time 3 years, got out.

Came back to California to
do casting for television,

and then 9/11 broke out,
so I worked for a company,

a Halliburton company and went

over to help out in Uzbekistan

doing logistics for the U.S.
military for a company called KBR.

Great company to work for,

did so much for the effort over there,

and I was really proud to work for them.

I came back, started
doing casting, and some

club stuff, night club things for a while.

That's when the second war broke out,

so I ended up getting a
call to go work in Iraq.

Training the new Iraqi military.

(up tempo techno music)

And so in 2004 I went to Iraq,

trained the Iraqi military, and then

in 6 months I left when
that program shut down.

I went to Kuwait training
US coalition forces

deploying into Iraq for the election.

That was a very rewarding time,
training US service members.

Knowing that our training was saving

military and soldiers lives.

So that was probably
the most rewarding job

I have ever had in my life.

I did that for a while until 2006 or so.

I did that and also worked up
in Iraq as a US contractor,

doing US contract security, road
side security, convoy security.

So, I did that for a year with a company.

I enjoyed that, so I
did that until January,

or December 31st 2005
and for that New year,

I was in Amsterdam.

(chuckling) How ironic huh?

(upbeat guitar music)

And so 2006 January I was in Amsterdam

and I came back and
started working in the US

for the Friars club over in Beverly Hills.

I was director of security for them,

and I got named, there was
a guy named Irwin Schaeffer

he was the president of the Friar's club,

the last president of the Friar's club,

and I said is there a
secret ritual or thing?

And so he showed me the
handshake and said this is

what makes a Friar.

Oh really, I said that's it?

"That's it."

and I was officially the last Friar

of the Friar's of Beverly Hills.

Then they got shut down.

They got in an argument
with the east coast Friars.

So that's why I consider myself the Friar.

Steve, Friar Steve for the Green Guild.

And I started, went back and
work for the company again

over in Africa after working
for the Friar's club.

The company I worked for before.

I worked in Africa for
the State Department

on a State Department
contract I should say,

training peacekeepers to go into Darfur.

(ambient techno music)

I'd rather not say where we were,

but there's different countries that
were involved with that program.

That too was a rewarding job.

I left there in May to come back here,

because I wanted to find
a way to raise money

for my guys I was training.

Here are these peacekeepers
that go into Darfur,

and I mean the American peacekeepers

get care packets, they get
something from their families,

but the African soldiers get nothing.

Their families are poor,
they are barely getting by.

And here are these guys
trying to prevent a genocide,

and for a year they are over there,

away from their family,
away from their friends,

and they have nothing.

So I wanted to get some
care packages for them.

So there's kind of a
thing I've been doing.

I have a cannabis collective,

it's strange how I got here,

but never the less I'm here.

For me any business that I'm in,

I have a soldier's mentality.

So, I'm going to adapt to
it, adopt it, and learn it.

Master it, and that's
what I did with this.

I find in this business if you let go,

and you know give it your all.

Sua Sponte, give it your
all, it's very spiritual

aspect of it, and that's
the main focus of it.

If you do it that way,
it's the feng shui way.

Things will go your way.

Now, if you're greedy.

If you're selfish.

If you're out for yourself.

You're going to find that
cannabis isn't the route for you.

You know?

Those are the guys that
are going to have problems,

and don't know why.

Because it's a karma thing I find.

Now that sounds stupid and silly,

from a guy that pulls
triggers for a living,

but never the less I've
found that was the best

path for success so that's kind of

the pattern I've been following.

(subdued electronic music)

I don't want alcohol and cannabis

to be associated together anymore.

I think that it's just the opposite.

You know, I think it
was Bob Marley that was

once asked "What do you
think of Marijuana?"

He says, "Marijuana relaxes
a man, it puts him in touch

with himself, It lets him hear
the voice of Jah our Jah."

Or something along those lines.

And they asked him, "What
do you think of whiskey?"

and he says, "Whiskey,
whiskey makes a man drunk."

(plucky electronic music)

So I've been reading Tarot cards.

I started doing it as a hobby.

Then it became an obsession.

In the tarot cards, the
very fist card is the fool.

The fool follows the spirit.

Now you picture the fool as
he's walking off the cliff.

That's how it looks.

Like he's out of his mind,
he's just going wild right?

He's not, the real deal is
he's walking off a cliff,

and as he walks off, a
sparrow catches his foot.

His next foot, an eagle going
the other way catches his foot.

As that happens, another
bird catches his foot,

and he simply leaps across
the air to the other side.

How?

He trusted the spirit.

And so you have to be lead by the spirit.

This is what life's meant
to be, for the righteous.

So to do cannabis you have
to be lead by the spirit,

because it is so absorbed by it.

You know, that's when
I realized in order to

do this properly you gotta
be lead by the spirit.

So that's kind of how I live my life.

It has placed me right here, interesting.

So,

(background chatter)

I love Hollywood., let's
go check out the spot.

(traffic noise)

Ah this is the right here, right here!

(spiritual music)

So, I don't know what
this place is right now.

It's a little a little
cafeteria, cantina area.

behold the guild, voilà

(spiritual music)

(upbeat techno music)

Justin: Basically, pretty
much most plants are hybrids

in regards to what anybody says, like.

Off-screen Voice: What do
you mean when you say hybrid?

Justin: There's two different strains,

there's an Indica strain
and a Sativa strain.

And if they're not complete
Indica then they are a hybrid

I haven't seen very many 100% Sativas.

(r&b music)

This isn't 100% Indica,
this is a hybrid too.

But this is a really strong hybrid,

the THC content would
be, probably like, 17%.

Off-screen Voice: Ok,
and what about, what's

the difference between
the Sour Diesel and,

what is that?

Curzilla?

Justin: Curzilla, the
Sour Diesel and Curzilla?

Off-screen Voice: Yeah.

Flavor and high, they'd
still be both a hybrid

but basically if you have
genetics, like will say

you have a Sativa and
you mix it with an Indica

you make a hybrid,
that's just a new strain.

Like basically you know what I mean?

It's half of the other
one, so it takes half

each genetic trait and each
plant gives a different high.

(r&b music)

I mean when you look at the nugs on here,

you can just see that, look
how condensed they are.

Like, look at these nugs, how condensed

the sour diesel nugs,
if I had to buy anything

in here, that's probably the only thing

I would buy as a customer.

I'd buy that or the Cruzilla, like.

Taylor: Why, just quality wise or?

Justin: Romulan too.

Taylor: What's the
difference between this and

say low end, why is it so different?

Justin: Oh no, those are just
my three favorites. Taylor:
Oh that's your favorites.

Justin: Like I like confidential too but,

you know, I get that one
too if they have that,

but it's just the other
ones, I like them all

but like these are just, as
a connoisseur as time goes by

you just start noticing different things.

Taylor: So lets say what's the lowest

8th you guys have, price wise?

Justin: It's just some um,
Snicklefritz, this right here.

Taylor: Just the bottom of the barrel,

it's at the bottom like oh yeah.

Justin: This is what we
use to make hash sometimes.

(r&b music)

Taylor: So what's the process then for me,

if I was like a patient coming in to you?

What do you do, call my doctor or?

Justin: If you would come in here,

I would actually just
verify you as a patient.

I'd look at your 2-15, after I did that

I'd call your doctor, and actually while

you were filling out your
paperwork, I'd verify your doctor.

Just to make sure that
your doctor was legit,

and make sure the person I'm talking to

is who they say they are.

Taylor: That way their ID
matches up with their paperwork.

Justin: Because there's
no perfect verification

system that I've found yet.

Like, one of them says,

you can go register yourself as a patient,

and then you'll get a
license that's basically

like a California drivers license.

There's a lot of places like that.

Some places can't bring in
their cards, some doctors do it,

but a lot of clubs don't,
your 2-15 is really

what gets you in the door to every place.

(upbeat electronic music)

Jason: Jason Jenkenilly, and I'm
from Palos Verdes, California.

And I'm here to get my
prescription medication.

Justin: Hey Jason what's up?

Hang on a second, let me
verify you real quick.

(computer clicking)

Here you go.

Jason: Thank you.

Justin: Alright, lets go on back.

Ok, what can I help you with today?

Jason: Definitely like a Sativa,

something that could, like,

keep you medicated at the same time.

Justin: So you're looking
for, like, a 70/30 hybrid?

Jason: Yeah, something along those lines.

Justin: That I'd go with pretty
much all of the O.G. strains.

It looks like we're pretty
low on O.G. right now,

but we do have the Sour Diesel.

Very strong, indoor grown.

I know the grower actually for this.

The Grower: I use only organic products,

it's not a soil, it's
called a soil-less mix.

It's made of like cocoa and tree bark

and a bunch of other stuff.

Up top is a 1,000 watt
bulb, which actually

on the left side it goes up into a filter.

The filter sucks the air
through into the bulb,

and out into the bedroom.

Next to where the air conditioner was.

There's also just another
vent here sucking the cold

air from the air conditioner
down into this room.

I use reverse osmosis water.

I actually have to transport it right now.

I take it too a water
store and get the water.

But you can get it out of the tap,

but I'm a perfectionist so I have an

automatic watering system that
usually comes on 3 times a day.

So I don't have to water it ever.

All I have to do is fill up the reservoir.

When they are babies,

I keep the florescent
light on 24 hours a day.

You are supposed to keep
it on 18 to 24 hours,

and what that does, is it mimics summer.

The long days of summer,

and then when fall comes,
the light you know, shortens.

They days are shorter.

So you shorten the light to
12 hours on, 12 hours off.

That makes the plant bud.

The green light is ok so that you can see

when you need to do work within
the dark times of the plant.

If you put the fan on
them and it makes the

plants stronger, it's like
wind making them stronger.

So they won't fall over later when they

get all these big buds on them.

They are about 6 weeks.

They have only been in
here for about a week.

So they have about 7 weeks to go.

They are going to hit the top
of this light some of these,

and I'll have to move the light up.

They know if you love them, you know?

If you do everything you
can to make it perfect.

Then they will turn out to be a home run.

I've gotten 3 1/2 ounces per plant before,

but most of the time I get about 2.

This one should come out pretty good,

hopefully about 2 1/2 or 3.

So here we have 2 future mom plants,

what I do is I wait for
them to get real big,

then I cut babies off of them.

They become the product.

I keep one and let it grow big,

cut the babies off of it and
I just continue the process.

Once they get up to this
big, throw them out.

Start over again, use a
430 watt florescent lamp.

Use some reflective materials
so we don't waste any light.

Daytime growers use
pesticides and anything

that they can to get the
best out of their product,

just for the money, and
I don't use pesticides.

I'm all you know, my stuff is all clean,

and I don't have to worry about that.

(techno music)

Justin: Top that one...

Romulan is a good, really
good soar actually.

You want to soar?

If you want to chill and look
at the ceiling for a while.

Romulan is the bomb,

you can always tell it's Romulan

when it smells like a shoe box.

(laugh)

Those are the two I
would suggest for that.

If you're looking for
something to really take

care of any kush pain, we've got the,

right here we've got Guild Sugar, it's

the finest bowl hash you can get.

Jason: Really?

Justin: It's before it's pressed,

before we can turn it to
caramel, before anything.

(funky electronic music)

Steve: What's he getting?

Justin: Sour D.

Steve: Nice, Sativa guy huh?
Justin: Yes sir.

Steve: That will get you there and back,

and make you happy.

Now you need something
to go on top of that.

The Sour D is good for the day,

but do you have something
for the evening time?

Justin: Yeah, we already
talked about that.

Justin: Sugar,
Steve: Cannabis Sugar?

Justin: He's going with a
gram of the Sour Diesel,

with a half gram of the Cannabis Sugar.

Steve: Ah cool, excellent.

(stapling)

Justin: Here you go man, you have
a nice day. Jason: Thank you.

Justin: Go ahead and keep that sealed,

until your final destination or at least

a 1,000 feet from here.

Jason: Alright, thank you.
Justin: Have fun man, see you later.

Steve: Good lookin out brother.
Jason: You too.

Steve: Go in peace.

When you get that, hold it in.

Take a deep breath,

and then take 3 deep breaths afterwards.

Justin: Cause it's going to
make you cough real hard.

Steve: To avoid the cough,
take three deep breaths

and get the air back
into your lungs, alright?

Jason: Alright.

Steve: And exercise.
Jason: No problem, thank you.

Steve: Peace.

(electronic music)

Jennifer: I'm Jennifer Valley,

I'm a single mother of
2 teenage daughters.

I'm a PTA president at
my daughters school,

and I also work as a stand up,

and a TV writer and producer.

And I came to Steve's collective today to

pick up some medication.

I like his style.

I like his shop.

So that's why I came.

(upbeat music)

(calm music)

Jason: I have scoliosis,

and a like tied with a
fractured vertebrae so it just

creates a lot of back pain,
and uncomfortableness.

Usually during the day
I'll stick with Sativas,

so that I don't get all tired and stuff.

And at night usually an
Indica to help me sleep.

Jennifer: I got my medical
marijuana card last year.

I have been a marijuana user for years.

I find that it calms me down.

I was diagnosed with kind
of an anxiety disorder.

I didn't like taking medications,

I just didn't like the
way it made my body feel.

Smoking marijuana or eating it,

or anyway that I get it
in me, just calms me down.

Makes me feel better,

and I have no side effects whatsoever.

Fredrick: My name is
Fredrick Geronimo Burkes, Jr.

Junior.

I'm a musician, I actually came to

Los Angeles for the purpose of perusing

my career as a musician,
songwriter, producer, publisher.

Well, I've heard that, you know,

it helps cure people
from anxiety if you're

really really depressed and overworked or

if you're really hyper,
it can calm you down.

Believe it or not it
works that way for me.

You know, I'm kind of a
very very active person

and to relax, you know, to mellow you out.

It's cool, and it doesn't
give me a panic high.

You know, or whatever, a paranoia high.

It just relax you, help you
to meditate and think better.

Chip: My name's Chip Monk.

It's with an O instead of a U so

that's a little consolation but,

I'm originally from Kentucky,

and I've been coming out to California

for the last 12 years off and on.

I didn't have access to medical marijuana,

I guess obviously back in Kentucky,

and I definitely needed it
for the medical purpose.

So it was refreshing to
come out here and finally

not have to deal with the fear of having

marijuana and getting in trouble for it.

David: I'm from Brooklyn,
music brought me to LA.

I came, I was on tour with Onyx,

and this was like my pit stop.

I came to LA and kind
of fell in love with it,

and I didn't leave, you know?

(chuckling) it was kind of
like a home away from home.

LA is a more relaxed place than New York.

I had car accident.

And this guy rear-ended,

I was in the passenger
side, my girl was driving,

and he rear ended us and
I had terrible back pain.

So, opposed to taking
Vicodin and stuff like that,

I'd smoke a joint and the
pain would be more relaxing

than being hooked on Vicodins half the day

and can't accomplish nothing.

So, that's when I got it.

Justin: It was April, last
year, that I found out

that I had ulcers and basically I had been

sent to the emergency
room and was told that

the reason why my ulcers flared was

because I quit smoking weed.

When I quit smoking weed,
I guess my ulcers flared,

and my doctor actually recommended,

my doctor that performed
the surgery and everything,

recommended that I
started using marijuana.

As one form, because
the other 2 medications

that they had at the time,

were both condensed human fecal matter.

And I said, no, I wasn't
about to eat (bleeping)

Jennifer: Well, if I wasn't
using it I would probably

be on a high stress level,

because I have a lot of
things going on in my life.

I actually find that it's cheaper too,

than seeing a regular medical doctor.

Though I did see a regular medical doctor,

to get my prescription in the first place.

But, the fact, taking Prozac or Zoloft,

or any of those drugs, I
just didn't want to do.

I'd seen the effects it had
on some friends of mine,

and since I've smoked marijuana,

before I even got my card,

I knew the effects on my body,

and the positive effects it had

on my mental and physical health.

Chip: It relieves a lot of stress.

I get depressed easy, get down on myself.

So, it's kind of a great alternative to

pharmaceuticals which I detest,

because I used to take care of my dad.

He was elderly and he was
on a lot of medications,

and it was more hampering than helpful.

Justin: Honestly if I
don't smoke, I won't eat.

I'll get hungry, and the next thing,

if I don't smoke after about a week and

a half, my ulcers will flare and,

I don't know how long
it will take for me to,

I don't know honestly
the extent of my disease,

but I know that if I keep
on throwing up blood,

eventually I will die.

(chuckling) So, I
actually need to smoke it

at a certain point.

Maybe, I haven't tried for a while to

go off it for more than a month.

But the last time I did, I did flare.

Then I started smoking
again, and it went away.

Fredrick: Marijuana to me,
has not just affected my life,

but I think it has
played an important part

on a lot of people's lives.

Especially the music culture itself.

If you like a little humor, I
have a story I could tell you.

I had an opportunity at 1 time to actually

do a show with Bob Marley.

At the Roxie years ago,

but I was playing with Little
Anthony and the Imperials.

I was playing bass with them.

The drummer in our band
actually for the 1st time,

took a hit off of some real ganja,

and it actually knocked him off the drums.

(laughing)

and he said it was

like one of the most funniest
things that I'd ever seen.

Chip: My dad was a user of marijuana,

definitely for medicinal,
being in his 70s,

and having heart disease, diabetes.

I definitely saw the medical benefits,

because when he had it he was happy,

tell stories and had a good apatite.

And if he didn't have any, he, you know.

He'd call me every name in the book,

and just seemed miserable you know?

So I really got a good
feel for the medical

purposes of it, through him.

And I'm definitely an
advocate now for that reason.

Jennifer: I'd like to
clear up that not all

medical marijuana users
are junkie stoner potheads.

Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High,

that's not, look at me.

I'm a PTA president.

I'm a single mom.

I live a full productive life.

I'm not sitting around getting
high, eating Cheetos all day.

Fredrick: Most people that use marijuana,

they are very conscious people.

I don't see marijuana being
something bad, it's a herb.

It's played, for many
many years it's played

a very important part of,
not just the Rasta culture,

but american culture.

Justin: Some of the stereo
types on smokers are

you know, there is a
stoner population that

represents in a good way.

And there is a stoner population

that represents in a bad way.

We're not everybody that,

I mean I guess I mean I'm not representing

myself very well, coming in with the hat,

and my blood shot eyes but you know?

It's just, we do need to
represent ourselves better.

We do need to come across to people,

that don't view it in the same way we do,

and understand the way
they need to understand us.

And if they aren't going to understand us,

we need to understand them so we can

communicate somehow that, you know?

You take Tylenol, I don't.

(chuckling)So, it's fine.

We have to find a way to work together,

and the common stereotypes
are that stoners are,

people that just sit on the
couch and watch TV all day.

And that's not necessarily true.

And there are a lot of
functioning people who smoke weed.

Jennifer: Well I work in
the entertainment industry,

and I have not worked with 1 person yet,

who doesn't smoke weed.

Not 1.

From the biggest big
wig, to the littlest PA.

Everybody does it.

We may not necessarily do it at work,

but sometimes I get inspirations.

I'm a writer, I'm a comedy writer,

and it doesn't hurt my creativity,
let me put it that way.

Chip: I wake up and you
know, take a little toke.

Begin the day, sets the
tone for the whole day.

I'm not bent out of shape,

I'm not worried about how
the day's going to go.

It kind of relieves,
it kind of takes away.

You know if you got
caught out in a rain storm

and got all muddy, it would be like

a bath that washes away all the dirt,

and makes you have a nice,
pretty much quality of life,

that you wouldn't have otherwise.

David: I don't really smoke every day.

Only when I think the pain is to the point

where I need to take it
down, and relax myself.

That's when I, most of the time, I smoke.

Or I'll smoke if I'm in
the studio or something.

But it's not an every every day thing.

Justin: I am for people making a choice,

I think that there should be a legal age.

I don't really think it should be 21,

but I think there should be a legal age.

It should be 18, where
people can just say,

ok I want to make the choice to smoke.

That should be a serious thing though,

because your mind is developing
up to a certain point,

and marijuana does open up
your mind to other things.

So, you don't want to get
distracted along the way.

There are things you need
to know in life before

you start thinking what do
I want to do with my life?

Fredrick: There's nothing
like, having a nice doobie

with a beautiful woman,
that's my favorite part.

Like after a hard days work.

A stressful day, you put on some real nice

reggae music and you have
a beautiful woman there

who is really into the
culture and enjoying life.

Who is really really into her man,

there's nothing more beautiful than that.

That's my favorite part.

Jennifer: I like going to
medical marijuana dispensaries

because I am always learning something.

I'm learning about different strains.

How they effect my body differently.

I learn through going to
medical marijuana clinic,

that there's the difference of Sativas

and Indicas and how they effect your body.

The different things they do.

I found the kind I like,

and they also offer edibles there.

So you don't always have to smoke.

When you go into these shops
there's always something new,

and they have something you can try.

Different options other than just smoking,

that's not effecting my life
negatively at this point.

I don't see an alternative.

I don't like drinking booze,
it doesn't make me happy.

It doesn't do well with
my body, and pot dose.

(instrumental music)

Jamie: Blouzefest, it's about music

and comedy meshing together.

It's about improvisation at it's finest.

What we do is, we have
LA's finest beat makers,

musicians come out,
everybody brings beats,

and we just make up songs on the fly.

People come in they sign
up they write a noun,

you are required to do is write on a

little piece of paper 1 word.

We take it, we put it in a bucket.

You get up on stage the beat
drops we pull out 2 things.

Like cardboard platypus, you
know we pull 2 things out,

you pull cardboard, platypus.

Ok then we sing a song
called Cardboard Platypus.

We just make it up on fly.

It really accesses your brain,
it's kind of like a puzzle.

It's fun.

It's a metaphor for people waking up

and realizing hey, what are you doing?

It's like twitter, what are you doing?

♫you gotta wake up, better wake up.♫

♫you gotta wake up, it's time to wake up.♫

Doug: Part of Blouzefest
is we are promoting

peoples own creative powers.

The performance is a huge part of that.

It's actually therapeutic and helpful

for people to get over their fears.

Deal with their own
personal issues by being ,

open, and honest, and
exposed to the world.

Showing them who you are, and what you do,

and not being ashamed about it, you know?

Really all these things that we do,

we create in our own
minds and give ourselves

reasons not to do things,

or to have a certain perspective

where we are thinking negatively.

It's the same thing with
marijuana or anything.

It's like, things should be used properly,

and under the right terms,

and all the political
context that's involved

goes away then, because
we are open and honest

about how we use things.

Jamie: This is what Blouzefest is about,

We're changing the face of
what people think of as weed.

Now, in America the conception of weed is

you know, you sit on the
couch eating potato chips.

No, we get Blouzed, we work out.

This man is medicated,

Doug: Breath (beep) properly.

Jamie: He's bustin strands.

He's breathing properly right here.

This is a display of strength.

This is what a Blouze
lifestyle can do for you.

Look at that.

Doug: Stay active kids.

Take your Wheaties or
whatever, your weedies,

and (breathing heavily)
make your dreams come true.

(relaxed electronic music)

Justin: I gotta bounce
and all the cars are like,

blocking my car.

Doug: What?

Justin: Steve got arrested.

Doug: Oh.

Justin: That's why he's not here.

So I gotta go get the money

so they can bail him out.

Doug: Ok.

Alright, well,

Take care of business!

Justin: I'll be back though!

Doug: Ok, cool.

Justin: The doctor should
be here in a minute.

Doug: Ok

Justin: And my cousin already
knows to talk to the doctor.

And, that's it.

Doug: Ok

(inaudible)

Jamie: What is Blouzefest?

Guy Off Screen: Blouzefest
is just acting up,

I don't know, we blown, we drinkin.

Happy St. Patrick's day.

Doug: We need people to move cars.

whoever is in front of Justin's car.

Jamie: Let's keep it on the quiet.

Take it easy.

Let's keep it all discreet,

or everybody will get out, ok?

Alright? Alright.

(crowd chatter)

Justin: Well this will be fun.

(car door slam)

(car starts up)

(intense electronic music)

Green Guild Patient:
Incident today, the Friar,

he got, pretty much got
arrested for doing his job.

You know, he was taking
some weed to the clinic,

and he got arrested for doing his job.

This is the troubles that clinics

face on a day to day basis.

It's really should be unconstitutional

not to be able to do your job.

Justin: I'm calling in regards to

the green guild patient,
his name is Steve (beep).

It was 1,600 correct?

I, what does it take to be that, like?

I am one of his employees,

I was the one who was gonna sign him out,

and take him out and pick him up.

Green Guild Patient: I'm
not sure all the details.

I really don't know everything.

I just know the situation.

I just know we're just trying to raise

some money right now at
Blouzefest to bail him out.

Justin: 1 of the promoters
got arrested on the way here.

For intent to sell.

Well that's more really
intent to distribute,

not intent to sell but
basically what happened was,

it was because of his tags, on his car.

He got pulled over for his tags,

and of course he has a license
to distribute marijuana.

So of course he's going to have
Marijuana on him, you know, whatever.

Next move is I've got
to go pay a bails bond

agent $1,600 to get him out of jail.

So we'll see how this goes.

(upbeat electronic music)

Steve: Going down Summer
and stop at a light.

I see a cop pull up behind me,

now I know that my registration is expired

on the back of my license plate,

because I have a ticket
already for it, so we're fine.

So they pull me over, it's fine.

The cop comes up and he says,

"hey sir, you know your
registration's expired."

I'm like officer, right here's the ticket,

I already know about it.

I'm getting it taken care of.

I just got a ticket for
it a couple of days ago.

It'll be taken care of

He goes, hey that's cool sir.

He looks down and he
goes hey whats your name?

Do you have any warrants,
have you ever been arrested?

No, no.

Then he asked the guy
in the passenger seat.

"You have any warrants or anything?"

And the guys like,

"yeah I have some warrants
but I took care of them."

Ok well what does it have to do with me?

Guy in the back seat, do
you have any warrants?

The guy says, "why you messing with me?"

And the cop literally
just jumps in his face,

actually my face, the guy in the back seat

is like "why you messing with me?"

The cop is like "You mother (bleep)!!"

I said, whoa, he's yelling at this guy

in the back seat, at
me, through the window.

I'm like, ok, this guy's
got post traumatic stress.

I recognize this right away in myself.

So he's yelling, (yelling noises),
get out of the (beep) car!

I'm like, whoa.

So he's like, hey sorry
sir, it's not about you,

it's about your boy.

I say, he's not my boy,
I just picked him up.

So they get out of the
car, he pulls him over.

He's yelling at him, gets him
down, cuffs him on the ground.

Then he tells me, hey can
you get out of the car?

I say yeah, not a problem sir.

So I get out of the car, walk over.

He asks me how I met them.

I tell him exactly what happened.

and I say, look up underneath my car.

You can see my muffler's
hanging right there.

He looks and sees it's hanging down, ok.

I'm going down here to Garrot,
making a left, boom, boom.

Then I have an event
today, a very big event.

I need to get working on it.

I'm actually kind of running late sir.

So he goes like, sorry sir, not a problem.

"You wouldn't mind if I
check your car would you?"

Yeah, why are you going to check my car?

Yeah I kind of mind, can you explain why?

"Well that guy was in the back seat, "

"he might have stuffed
something behind your seat. "

Sir, I don't think so.

"Well it doesn't matter, I'm
going to search your car anyway."

Alright, naw.

He just walked to my car and he goes,

"it doesn't matter what you say,"

"I'm going to search your car."

"I can search your car."

Now, I thought I had some kind of rights,

but apparently I was wrong.

At this time he began to search my car.

His partner was cool, he was
standing there talking to me.

Didn't put me in cuffs or anything but had

to keep my hands in front of me,

blah blah blah, face away.

They are following procedure,
no problem with that.

Then he's going through
my glove compartment.

Then he's opening my
trunk, and I'm like sir,

Sir, why are you opening my truck?

Now I'm not going to say anything,

I don't want him to yell at me,

this guy has already
snapped at this other guy.

I see if I say one word
to this guy out of line,

he will bite my head off.

As a matter of fact, I
said something earlier

kind of like joking and he was like Yo!

He didn't say yo, but he kind
of jumped at me like that.

So I was like this guy
is pushing back stress.

He will use that badge to
beat me in a heartbeat.

So I continue on being cool.

They search my car,

and he pulled out the bag out of my trunk.

He opened up the bag and went through it.

Now it has about 4oz,
actually about 3 oz in it.

They were going to be give
aways for the lottery.

So everything's all
set up in the packages,

but he didn't ask or anything.

We didn't say what this is for.

I explained, I knew what
was going on behind me.

So I said I have a medical
marijuana license to this guy.

He said how'd you get it?

I said, you know, I was
in Iraq for 2 years.

Came back, post traumatic stress,

and that's why I medicate.

They offered me Prozac,
but I passed on the Prozac.

So I was like cool, that's
my medicine right there,

but it's actually for an event.

As a giveaway.

So he's like you know,
that's cool, whatever.

Boom, next thing I know,
I'm going downtown.

I haven't even been charged,

they didn't read me rights.

They just simply took me in,
and put me through the system.

Now I guess you're
supposed to get some kind

of pink slip that says
what your charges are.

To this date I do not have that slip.

Never got it.

I was never told why I was going in.

(laughs) Basically they
did put me in the system.

So I went through the system,
and I had to post bail,

and we got out.

Missed, Blouze event, I'm sorry.

(somber music)

The whole time I was in the back seat,

and even in custody, I was singing,

♫Let me out, let me
out, I'm an angry lion.♫

♫Let me out, let me
out, I'm an angry lion.♫

♫Let me out, let me
out, I'm an angry lion.♫

♫Let me out, let me out,
Jah my rights were stolen.♫

Over and over and over again.

(somber music)

There's a guy standing behind me,

and we're in the medical center.

and they are looking at his records.

Now the cops are standing
there, it's just them.

They were like, "Hey
this one's a diabetic,"

"So that means he already
got his sandwich."

"You know what that means?"

"You only get 1 sandwich now,
we get to take 1 of them away."

and they are laughing
at the fact that they

are going to take 1 of his meals away

because he's a diabetic,
and had got 1 earlier.

Is that (beep) or what?

So rather than trying to make this,

you're a diabetic, oh
bro, sorry to hear that.

They seem to say, first off
we're going to embarrass you.

Tell everybody that you're a diabetic.

Second off we're going to humiliate you

by taking away one of your meals.

And they call that, you
know, protecting and serving.

Or looking out for the inmates.

(laughing)

Have a (beep) great day.

(lighter sparks)

(bong bubbles)

(exhaling)

(somber music)
