Oh, an unusual early morning for me, an early morning episode of the podcast, Ethan.
Very nice to meet you, man. Thanks for doing this.
Good to meet you, too. No, it's my pleasure.
So, Drug Policy Alliance, how far are we away? Let's get this done. Come on.
Well, it depends what it is, right? When it comes to legalizing marijuana,
I mean, we got momentum that nobody could have believed we'd had just four or five years ago, right?
So in that sense, things are flying. I don't think it's in the bag yet, though.
You know, one of my biggest concerns is a sense of overconfidence where this whole thing could trip up.
Yeah, my biggest concern is that, and it's also like Jeb Bush and guys like that.
Like if those guys, or that fat fuck from New Jersey.

I really think that that guy is so deeply embedded in corruption in New Jersey that the moment he actually becomes a serious candidate for president,
I think this shit is going to come out of the closet like a broken fire hydrant.
Yeah, it could be Joe.
He's going to find out.
I think also his popularity has fallen so low in New Jersey right now that he just wanted to get out of town.
