DC weed lovers got a major win
after the City Council voted a
bill down that got rid of the quote
gifting process a few weeks ago.
That's a loophole in DC weed laws that
allows people to get weed as a gift
from dispensaries after they purchase
a different product. Like, you know,
a cookie or socks or a lighter.
It's like a response that weed being
legal inside DC but not the sale of it.
And I want to see how the
community was reacting to this.
So we brought in Sean Savoy,
who as you will see, is very overqualified.
For this discussion,
here's part of that conversation.
My first question,
how high are you right
now wishing I was a little bit higher.
OK, that's fair, so we'll give you maybe a 6.
We'll give it a yeah,
we'll give it a fair six.
OK, there's rooms on both sides of it.
OK, how high is your environment?
It's actually more than you
could even imagine. OK,
I'll give you another little peak.
What else is going on over here?
Oh wow. Ohh yeah Oh yeah,
that's an 8 that's an 8.
That is, you could you could rent
that out to people immediately
after leaving said dispensary.
Yeah, it's it's a Airbnb for.
For cannabis enthusiasts,
yeah, that is that that that is like the
cannabis equivalent of a motel right there.
I just want to come in and use your space
for an hour or two hours and I'm good.
What do you make of the current situation
for buying and selling weed in the city?
I mean, I loved in DC how weed is legal.
Ish, you know. And I mean.
I remember going there and
like when I first times, uh,
making a gifting by because by
this balloon for $50 and I will
give you a free bag of weed.
And I was like thank you hey.
One of the most
entertaining aspects of weed culture has
definitely been the naming of strains.
So I definitely have to ask your
favorite name of a strain that you have
heard after a quick Internet search,
we found Ghost train haze,
Acapulco, gold, chaloupe,
shark attack and memory loss.
What do you? What do you got for
me? My favorite right now
is the COVID vaccine double
booster alopecia Rat, Tail Kush.
Wow, I definitely think you just made that
up. I definitely think that's a strain
that you just developed 15 minutes ago.
Actually, my latest favorite is truffles.
My favorites are always the ones
named after people like I saw Juan
Soto the other day and I was like I
don't know what that means. But sure
I had purple urkle before too.
Yes yeah, purple article.
Yeah, shout out to Julia White.
You gotta get him on the show for sure.
Now you are performing
at the upcoming national.
Cannabis Festival any what?
What is your approach to
performing in front of stoners?
How is that different than
a regular group of people?
When you're performing in front of Stoner,
did you just have to take into account that?
And their minds. They might be thinking
you're the best comedian ever. Like
yo, this guy's awesome. You always crazy,
but this guy's hilarious. I can't,
but he'll be like.
Yeah, yeah, you know.
So like but a lot of times
you know you can catch them.
You have to like.
You gotta be.
You gotta be a little animated.
I think you know you, OK,
you know if you know they could
be put to sleep easy or they
could ride the whole roller
coaster with you easily as well.
Well, I know stoners like cartoons as
evidenced by what was on your wall.
So you just gotta be,
you know the the closer to Tom
and Jerry you can be the better.
Exactly OK, that makes a lot of sense.
If you want to hear more from Sean,
he is performing at the National
Cannabis Festival this weekend.
As we mentioned, tickets are still
available on their website and
he's also been known to loiter
down at gallery place by the drum.
