Damn they build their empire from nothing & is now worth 40 M’s ! That’s straight motivation right there! If you’re reading this I hope you get rich & be able to take care of our families!
I 100% guarantee they're still involved to some degree in the illegal marijuana trade. A lot of these vendors who sell weed by day legally in their shops are meanwhile selling stuff on the Dark Web (if they have the tech knowledge to take advantage of that). You can basically charge double for the same buds. It's not legal, but then again technically it's not truly legal in "legal states" either it's just too little of a priority and it's making too much money that the federal government currently doesn't want to enforce it's own laws. Hopefully they wise up sooner than later and just legalize it everywhere.
I mean in terms of legality nothing was legal until he moved but I don’t think anything comes from nothing his house looked like a retreat and it costs money to make it but I think he’s gotten so far because he really has the mindset for it.
Hell no i don’t think so they gotta buy it just like a regular customer this people came from the bottom to be giving free weed out here they know vice is gonna make money from this video so they going definitely charge for it
Xpel RyMn the fact that they're names and business are featured in this video means this is marketing, of course they're gonna give them free weed for it especially since lets say 5z is practically nothing compared to their operation yet 5z of smoke it a lot even for a group of people.
...and for people in states where weed is still illegal this feels like a documentary about another planet. The laws are so messed up. I don't use drugs but come on how long is it going to take for my state (or yours) to catch up and decriminalize weed once and for all?
Guy Wade I disagree. Some states are not projected to hit Colorado's level of leniency on weed until 2028. Full federal change in law? I'm an old man. It might not happen in my lifetime.
Yeah dude, I'm from Pence's state and we just recently allowed cbd sales. I don't see us legalizing anytime soon even though our surrounding states (IL, MI, OH) have. We've always been ass backwards here 😑
@@liluzibob people shouldn't encourage drug use, its like saying more people should drink, honestly this comes from my disdain of 420 culture in general
Claude Blair lmao it’s just hydro. The nugs come out dense,purple ,orange and fat but the terps are stale. Trust me I’ve smoked street bud from NorCal to south and it’s all the same “fire”. I mean some DO smell purple or Kushy but it’s jus basic ass thick hydro nugs.
so interesting how other people are out shining the ones who have been working alongside them this whole time. everyone deserves their spot in the world, in any industry, if it is their dream. awesome video!
I can tell you he did all right for the first two years of his opening of his dispensary here in Oakland but he shut it down last year dude because he misunderstood the market you see out here you can't just grow green Bud all the time if you can grow green Bud then you can master and perfect purple bud but he was too stubborn to do it and he wouldn't do it and that was the downfall of his dispensary gas House they didn't understand the market and it wasn't selling purple bud so he closed up last year and went back to Atlanta also the taxes out here got to him and permits and zonings the problem is is that he built his dispensary on the outskirts of Oakland where you should be building in Oakland he didn't do it and that's the reason why he closed.
Kingstons full spec I can't speak too greatly on where to get/what he's doing but first hand I can tell you he's got a huge cbd market rn with the same gashouse strains all over georgia. He's on Instagram everyday too under kingstonapproved
I remember watching kingston a while bacc. One of the comments was like “how u not gonna tell your family but show the whole world” I agreed but look at my boy now, 😈 motivation is one hell of a drug. So is weed U know he made it in life too cause he got airpods
I know you put this up a year ago and you edit it just heads up for you brother he's no longer around in Oakland he closed up shop a year ago he misunderstood the market and his weed was not selling nobody messes with green Bud over here bro that's like Santa Cruz some parts of LA in San Diego here in the Bay area where he was posted up we only smoke purple bud and purple bud only.
14:01 look how happy he is to hear this! This is the little moments of gold you can see from youtube. Just in that few seconds you can see just how hyped and proud he is of what he created
Get Lost Vlogs yeah good point but why does it have to be weed , a black person coulf start homhis own painting and decorating or plumbing company , it’s like saying black peoples can only succeed playing basket ball or running the 100m , normal jobs are a success they don’t all have to be paying millions of dollars yeah it’s nice but providing and being there for ya kids is just as rewarding
Calbha Vaughn nah man there are only two dispensaries that are close two the idaho border. Honestly not even that close. If you can get a dispensary in Ontario oregon, you will gain all the customers that travel to the dispensaries in Huntington oregon.
Man that’s incredible how they’ve accomplished so much. It’s cool to see how far people come with a lot of hard work and passion. I’ll have to look out for their products when they come to Missouri.
Unfortunately the problem with the stock market is usually by the time you've heard of something and see that it's successful, the ideal time to get in has already past. I am sure the business will keep growing so you'll make a dollar or two but I wish I could've been a partner of this guy like 5 years before he decided to make the switch. Get in on those dirt floor prices, become a legitimate partner, and your percentage of that $40 million will be far higher for much cheaper.
@@voteZDLR no way it's publicly traded otc, and also who cares about the ideal time. Time in the market is better than timing the market. What's holding your cash doing for you? Maybe if our money system was bitcoin we wouldn't need to worry about where we keep our money

Hey vice if you want someone to show you around the dispensaries in the Cannabis industry on your man on the dude in the Bay area if you want to get into a dispensary if you want to get into a grow up north in the emerald triangle or the Santa Cruz hills or even it in a growhouse operation let me know I'm the guy that can get you in
Watching this video made me really really happy I've been around cannabis my entire life always on the illegal side and to see these guys being able to do something that they're passionate about without being criminalized is f****** amazing!!!
I like seeing stories like this..! Motivated guys for sure and they earned it. Difference in these guys and most of the street guys is that these guys are willing to put in time and didn't expect a hand out.
"i'm finna do it!" seriously, a combination of this video and the alaska green news anchor girl has inspired me to step into the marketing side of the legal cannabis culture. one love.
7:04 I just want to clarify with everyone who may not know, while many like to attribute the outlawing of cannabis to the black population, the reason weed was first outlawed was due to the fact that it was an imported crop from Mexico at a time in our country when that was looked at as a bad thing. Many people from the start knew weed had many beneficial qualities, but purely based on the fact that it wasn't initially an American crop, it was outlawed, and from there no one over said otherwise, until the past couple of years (thank god, cus who doesn't love legal weed)
It's the same thing; there is no distinction. It's not like incorrectly calling cannabis/marijuana hemp. Main active chemicals in cannabis are cannabinoids. There's a reason it carries the name.
3:33 What Kingston says at that time is the nail hit on the head..!! If all those "regulations" are so tough, Especially more so for Black men and women, and all these hoops and obstacles for Black entrepreneurs to access to Cannabis market; It is to Prevent Fathers and Mothers, not only to not succeed in any field of activity, specially Not in the Cannabis market, as individuals, but Also to prevent these parents, to be able to leave a legacy of Wealth and Knowledge to their children and family. A kind of "ethnic cleansing/stiffling ".., to maintain a minority from striving, from accomplishing and realizing their dreams, from growing financially as self determined Human Beings..!!!
I’ve been a “budtender” haha for three years in Washington State and I’m so glad to be apart of the industry/community. All walks of life come into the shop for all types of reasons. #legalizeit
this video gave me so much motivation to start mines ik it’ll take time ik i might have doubters but imma do it 💯 it’s something i love , they say do what you love 💪🏽
This is the sort of thing that keeps me going towards my dream of owning a business. I always wanted to get into the legal cannabis market, but it almost feels too little too late for that. I'm not trying to be as successful as these gentlemen, but being able to do what I love and support myself and my family would be great.
Regardless of the many benefits of legalization, it is most definitely taking a valuable source of income from poor people and redistributing it to those who already have access to capital.
Of course we have an old Americana saying here in the states to make money you got to break money and to open a dispensary you got to have that capital first because when he did it it was easy to get permits go straight to Sacramento the state capital of California and get it
Ache´ to the both of you !!! Much blessing on your journey to success it truly is a blessing to see my people in there rightful place !!! Keep pushing forward !!!!🙏💨
Look at his age yeah he looks like he's from the dope era guy looks like in his late forties. But if he was really from the dope era he should have been coming out to California years ago or a decade ago because he screwed up he's no longer in business gas House dispensary in Oakland closed down because this dude misunderstood the market you don't just grow green Bud you're going to come out here and you got to grow that purple bro.
It will never be "legal" in India. The majority of Indians are extremely uneducated about the benefits/disadvantages of weed, basically drugs in general
They KEY factor to this success story was the license to cultivate those plants. If you did not get that license that so many people struggle to acquire, it would be a much different story. Glad you found success! Peace be with you
Hey you got to understand just like what burner said bro they got cookies and all the new strands now I mean girl scout cookies original stuff or what you guys call it GSC but out here in the Bay area it will always be called cookies or girl scout cookies yeah just to inform you bro last year he closed up shop went back to Atlanta and that was that.
Try to find the new hero bro your Atlanta boys no longer around he closed up shop a year ago and went back home he misunderstood the market and he was losing money real fast he thought that his grow cannot Master everybody in the in the Bay area but he was wrong this is the home of the purple bud the girl scout cookies the cherry pie the gelato and all the cookie strands that came out came here also limoncello lemonade silver surfer Haze all those came from the Bay area approximately 375 strands came from the bay and he tried to compete with all of those with green bud I'm sorry but your boy misunderstood the market I miss him he was a cool guy but you just don't come out here and thinking green Bud was going to make you money when you should have been focusing on the purples.
Unrelated to the video: I’m looking to Move from New York to Washington State, i heard the environment is like New York but rains more depending on where you are, but winters are roughly the same. I’ve never really gone outside of NY besides the New England Area, which is a few hours away. I’ve only heard some stories about people who used to live in WA and said it was really nice. Any tips on moving? Findings an apartment, etc? Thanks! -Brando
So glad to hear a story like this but at the same time sad to watch the guys in Oakland watching their backs 24/7. Some how they need to live together in harmony??? PS I'm a white dude!!
Oh they live in harmony in Oakland is that you cannot come to the city and disrespect it or disrespect the Bay area people from Oakland take the Bay area very seriously and they watch other people's backs because they don't want nothing messing up and plus gas house when they were open we gave them so much love it was it was cool welcome to the Bay we said to them when they first appeared from Atlanta they did pretty good for themselves but in 2018 I believe they were having hard times they misunderstood the market and just last year they had the close what I know is this guy went back to Atlanta even his co-owner living pretty well over there now but to open a dispenser you'll be here you really have to understand the market I mean green Bud will make you some money but really the Bay area and the oaklands people they only smoke purple and purple only
The best part of this video is NONE of these people are the stereotypical cannabis users that the anti-marijuana pushers want you to believe are the only people pushing for legalization. Thank you Vice, love the video, both very informational and very helpful with spreading the word.
Damn they build their empire from nothing & is now worth 40 M’s ! That’s straight motivation right there! If you’re reading this I hope you get rich & be able to take care of our families!

Notice how they only use "cannabis" as opposed to marijuana?

Black Bundy And the far left tried to demonize Marijuana as a racist term because they are running out of things to cry about.
It's the same thing; there is no distinction. It's not like incorrectly calling cannabis/marijuana hemp.
Main active chemicals in cannabis are cannabinoids. There's a reason it carries the name.
Green Libertas marijuana refers to a plant that isn't even actually Cannabis at all
J Lowrance it is actually a form of tobacco that is very clean as to what you can buy in the states.

this video gave me so much motivation to start mines ik it’ll take time ik i might have doubters but imma do it 💯 it’s something i love , they say do what you love 💪🏽
This is the sort of thing that keeps me going towards my dream of owning a business. I always wanted to get into the legal cannabis market, but it almost feels too little too late for that.
I'm not trying to be as successful as these gentlemen, but being able to do what I love and support myself and my family would be great.
@@hbtv4842 How so?
I got frisked and then my empty car was searched for a wide turn at 1am in Houston Texas.
Its stupid, i am a responsible hemp user
Regardless of the many benefits of legalization, it is most definitely taking a valuable source of income from poor people and redistributing it to those who already have access to capital.
There will ALWAYS be a black market for weed. Look at cigarettes in counties with native American reservations.
@@trikelyfe6090 cigarettes are bad in Native American counties but they are also prevalent any place people are poor :/
Of course we have an old Americana saying here in the states to make money you got to break money and to open a dispensary you got to have that capital first because when he did it it was easy to get permits go straight to Sacramento the state capital of California and get it
Dummies are doing this and being greedy, I would donate a fuckton of that money to help the economy make advantage not take advantage
I forgot the . After economy,,, so I mean make some advantage with that privilege, don't abuse it and try to be a drug dealer
Shout out to all the other veterans of the drug war, we owe it all to you!
Ache´ to the both of you !!! Much blessing on your journey to success it truly is a blessing to see my people in there rightful place !!! Keep pushing forward !!!!🙏💨
This grower from is Atlanta is an awesome dude. So humble and grounded and oh yeah, grows killer weed.
Link me up I'm in the midwest
6:02 this dude really said he’s a drug war veteran lmao
Pedro Juarez that’s was wild ass comment SMH
Look at his age yeah he looks like he's from the dope era guy looks like in his late forties. But if he was really from the dope era he should have been coming out to California years ago or a decade ago because he screwed up he's no longer in business gas House dispensary in Oakland closed down because this dude misunderstood the market you don't just grow green Bud you're going to come out here and you got to grow that purple bro.
“Black market” sound crazy lol. Bobby got it down the street lmao
I'm gonna start in Bangalore India when its legal in India
baba masthan follow ur dreams man
baba masthan facts weed is indigenous to India
do it anyways heroin is bigger
It will never be "legal" in India. The majority of Indians are extremely uneducated about the benefits/disadvantages of weed, basically drugs in general
what is general opinion of cannabis there?
This is what being American is about to me being able to pursue your dreams no matter what color your skin is or what you look like.
They KEY factor to this success story was the license to cultivate those plants. If you did not get that license that so many people struggle to acquire, it would be a much different story. Glad you found success! Peace be with you
Smoke weed every day I'm free to do as I wish inside my own home ftp
Big up Kingston and Gas house.Looks fire af🎃👍
I take my hat off to dude frfr do yo thang bro
He did all right but his dispensary closed a year ago gas house is no longer around in Oakland
Low key inspires me to do the exact same thing. Weed is something that should be cherished for having so many benefits
watching this in 2021, I needed the hope that this video contains. I wonder where they are now
I want to know how much capital did these guys have to start a cannabis in CA
J M $200,000
$50,000-$200,000*
Im moving to a legal state right now!
I smoked his animal cookies. Was top top top notch
Hey you got to understand just like what burner said bro they got cookies and all the new strands now I mean girl scout cookies original stuff or what you guys call it GSC but out here in the Bay area it will always be called cookies or girl scout cookies yeah just to inform you bro last year he closed up shop went back to Atlanta and that was that.
Hes right about growing the weed. For me its a whole therapeutic process going from a little seed to a several ounces in as few as 90 days
Look at the appearance theyve given cannabis it's so classy and sophisticated.
How can I join these guys this is literally my dream......
Try to find the new hero bro your Atlanta boys no longer around he closed up shop a year ago and went back home he misunderstood the market and he was losing money real fast he thought that his grow cannot Master everybody in the in the Bay area but he was wrong this is the home of the purple bud the girl scout cookies the cherry pie the gelato and all the cookie strands that came out came here also limoncello lemonade silver surfer Haze all those came from the Bay area approximately 375 strands came from the bay and he tried to compete with all of those with green bud I'm sorry but your boy misunderstood the market I miss him he was a cool guy but you just don't come out here and thinking green Bud was going to make you money when you should have been focusing on the purples.
Unrelated to the video:
I’m looking to Move from New York to Washington State, i heard the environment is like New York but rains more depending on where you are, but winters are roughly the same.
I’ve never really gone outside of NY besides the New England Area, which is a few hours away. I’ve only heard some stories about people who used to live in WA and said it was really nice.
Any tips on moving? Findings an apartment, etc?
Thanks! -Brando
I don't know much about the place your moving from/to but I'll leave a like so someone else can help you. Best of luck bro.
Washington nice and depressing

2:34 why it look like he opened the door to heaven?😂😂
4:11 "he got fire bud" he a real one frrr 😂😂
So glad to hear a story like this but at the same time sad to watch the guys in Oakland watching their backs 24/7. Some how they need to live together in harmony???
PS I'm a white dude!!
Oh they live in harmony in Oakland is that you cannot come to the city and disrespect it or disrespect the Bay area people from Oakland take the Bay area very seriously and they watch other people's backs because they don't want nothing messing up and plus gas house when they were open we gave them so much love it was it was cool welcome to the Bay we said to them when they first appeared from Atlanta they did pretty good for themselves but in 2018 I believe they were having hard times they misunderstood the market and just last year they had the close what I know is this guy went back to Atlanta even his co-owner living pretty well over there now but to open a dispenser you'll be here you really have to understand the market I mean green Bud will make you some money but really the Bay area and the oaklands people they only smoke purple and purple only
“this is you, right here, in my hand” pause
I need to be a bud tender and a trimmer 💕
Red Eyed Villain boy what are YOU smoking lemme hit that 🌳🌳🌬💨💨
mo analyssa He smoking crack. You don't want none of that baby...
After you trim just one plant you wont want to trim again
crack_head_fox 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
its a shit ton of work. after 12 hours and blisters and so much green you cant see strait its not so fun
The best part of this video is NONE of these people are the stereotypical cannabis users that the anti-marijuana pushers want you to believe are the only people pushing for legalization. Thank you Vice, love the video, both very informational and very helpful with spreading the word.
3:40 this is the kind of man i wish ran all businesses. that mind set worth gold
No body who actually smokes in California buys it legally the prices are so high in the dispensary the streets are at an all-time low
RMG Entertainment people buy other things in dispensaries it’s not really even the flower that they’re making money off of, it’s them edibles etc
Yup can't only make money on just flower it used for medicinal purposes and more
i still hit up shops, they got lab tests on concentrates, edibles, vape products.
Same thing in Canada . Black market is flourishing 😎
CountlessPWNZ that’s exactly why I go people don’t get that QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
