Those guys are good with the leg sweep.

Yeah, they got me.

Were you injured there? I got like a scar on my elbow, but it wasn't so bad.

I mean, look, what happened to me there was bad.

It was a amendment violation and will absolutely, you know, these charges should be dropped.

But what I went through isn't a tenth of what kids in ICE are going through every single day.

And when I was in prison, I was talking to a lot, not in prison, I'm sorry.

And then what's one thing you want the cannabis community and these viewers watching to do next? Okay.

Did you grow up in Tampa? You know, what's your undergrad in? Is it an education? Tell me a little bit more about Ben Braver.

So I was born in Ohio, raised there till about 11.

And my students, I should have never told them I was born in Ohio.

They do not let me forget it.

It's a huge thing for them.

Moved down here when I was about 11 because my dad got a job at USF as a professor of philosophy.

And my mom was a doctor in the area.

But if I was to say or go to look at your website, like what are the main pillars, the three or four or five main things that are the issues you're the most passionate about? What would be the pillars of your platform?

and that's something that you know regardless of what state whether it's it's been a blue state like maryland that i've worked in or or red state like florida you know there's a disconnect from legislators on this and ben i i hope that should you win that's something that you'll be willing to champion we need worker protections in this state for medical marijuana patients people should not get fired from their jobs for something that we're saying is legal i mean that's ludicrous to me What are your thoughts?

Absolutely.

And one of the major problems with worker protections in the state is we don't even have a Department of Labor with the organization that's supposed to be protecting these workers.

We don't even have one of those.

Now, that leads to more wage theft and a whole lot of issues.

But on what you're talking about with marijuana and the use of it, yeah, we need evidence-based practices.

We can't go off our representatives' feelings and what they think might be the best response to this stuff.

You're trying to run for office on a teacher's salary, which has got to be hell.
