A Mosaic of Impact: Jelly Roll's Advocacy, Animal Happy Hours, and Embracing Green Living
https://simplyvibin.com/
Thank you for Simply Vibin with us!
Okay, I'm not gonna say what it is yet, but it was so interesting I was almost afraid to read an article I have over here because I wanted you to talk about it without me really knowing a lot about it. I want to kind of be the listener here a little bit, because it was such a cool topic that you came up with.
Speaker 2:Welcome to the podcast where we talk about cannabis Codegreenplant.
Speaker 1:I am not a doctor, I am not a therapist, I am not even an expert. I am you. I am bringing information to you as I see it, but don't take my advice. Make your own choices and make them good choices. On with the show. Hi and welcome to Codegreenplant. I'm your host, christy Chanel, and I'm here with Phoebe James, hello everybody, and we are back, and we are back with Burning Topics. We haven't done a Burning Topic in a bit, so I figured we can kind of see what's happening in the world right now. It's time for Burning Topics, you have a Burning Topic today.
Speaker 3:My Burning Topic is just a person altogether. I think at this point you know I was jelly roll. You know who I'm talking about. I love him, do you? He's new to me. I have you known of him for a long time, or is it just me he's new?
Speaker 1:Not a long time, but I follow his wife Bunny.
Speaker 3:I see it in research that she's somebody, because people Google what she do and I so tell me OK.
Speaker 1:I have history here. Yes, this I can help you with. So I am a TikToker, as you know. I like to follow people on TikTok and so I've been following his wife. Even I don't even know if I actually follow him specifically, but I follow his wife because she's just a really real human and I don't feel any pretense with her or him and I like that. I like that.
Speaker 1:And so the history of those two was I think they I can't be 100%, but I think they met in Vegas, but he was like a musician, but not really known at all, like just that type, and I think she was a I don't want to say a call girl, because that's an escort, that's it. She was an escort and she's proud of it and she talks about it and she does all that. And you know his ex-wife I don't know if they were married, I think it was his ex-wife, but baby mama, before Bunny she was on drugs and so Bunny came in and they just kind of made a family and she was supportive of him and she's like you know, you and me, babe, I got you and they started to become each individually rise and together rise. So they were both just. You know they called. What did they say? Trailer trash is how they refer to themselves and it's just like yeah, they don't give a shit.
Speaker 3:I'm looking them up right now on. I'm following them on Instagram because and then I followed Jelly Roll and now his wife Bunny popped up next follow. I want to learn about them, the stuff I'm seeing and your stories you're telling them. That's pretty cool. I have no idea.
Speaker 1:And her podcast is called Dumb Blonde and it's, it's so. It's really good. She just had on, you know, travis Barker.
Speaker 3:Yes, with Courtney Kardashian, blink 182. Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean, he actually had a career, right.
Speaker 3:Like drummer, big time drummer.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so he was married to Shayna Mokler and she went on Bunny's show. I think it was a week or two ago.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I mean I liked her, I liked her, and yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, so it's a good one.
Speaker 3:So I would listen to it, because I know you do that when you do stuff around the house. Uh-huh, I do. I love that and I've been running low on stuff to listen to, I feel like, lately. So, thank you, that's a new one I'm going to listen to Because, yeah, what I've seen of him pretty amazing person. It seems like Now you telling me it's confirmation and it sounds like she's pretty cool too. But, yeah, I wanted to talk about him because of this most recent he went in front of Congress to talk about. You know, he was in support of anti-fint, no trafficking, and I meant to blah and, you know, doing things legally going in front of Congress. To me, that's just amazing that he's using this platform for something like that and he was so passionate about it and I like that. He opened up about his past and said, you know, I was part of the problem and now I want to be part of the solution, like just, I loved it, it was awesome.
Speaker 1:I think we should play a clip. Yeah, that'd be awesome. I think the beginning of it, I mean just the beginning of I heard it, I saw it, I watched it a couple of times actually, and I was so into it. And what really got me about his speech was the fact that he's like I can't even vote. I'm not Democrat or Republican.
Speaker 3:I'm not pushing. Yeah, I'm not being bought.
Speaker 1:I am here because I care about this and so for me, you know, that means a lot more, because he's not pushing an agenda except for what he's talking about. And and man, you know his first hand. Yeah, without an agenda, just more people standing up for what they believe in. They don't have a political agenda. I want to be with those type of people.
Speaker 4:From the time that I've been given to share my testimony here. I think it's important to note before I start that in these five minutes I'll be speaking that somebody in the United States will die of a drug overdose and it is almost a 72% chance that during those five minutes it will be fentanyl related. Having started that way, Chairman Brown, rankin members, scott and the STEAM committee members, thank you for having me. I know this is a bit of a curveball, but I like a little baseball myself. My name is Jason DeFor, but to most I am known as Jelly Roll. It is important to establish earlier that I am a musician and that I have no political alliance. I am neither Democrat nor Republican. In fact, because of my past, my right to vote has been restricted. Thus far, I have never paid attention to a political race in my life. Ironically, I think that makes me the perfect person to speak about this, because fentanyl transcends partisanship and ideology. Gentlemen and women, this is a totally different problem.
Speaker 1:So I will post a link so that you guys can hear that speech in full. I think it's very powerful and I think it's noteworthy when it's coming from such a genuine place, you can just touch so many people because people feel it. I was getting a little misty-eyed listening to that, because I know he's telling the truth about the people that he lost. He was part of the problem, and the fact that he was part of the problem and is now standing up to be a part of the solution, with the facts behind being part of the problem, is going to change things. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty inspiring. How old was he? 39?.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what he said, and in his speech he was saying that he's taken this long to get where he's at, and if he can do it at 39, hey, it's never too late.
Speaker 1:Your burning topic is so much heavier than mine. It was good, and I liked it even more because we have actually had a whole episode on that cause fentanyl and so, yeah, we're on the right side of history with that. What's your?
Speaker 3:burning topic.
Speaker 1:I mean drum roll, please. I'm going to put a sound effect in. I love those sound effects things, man, and I'm getting pretty good at those things. That's the one. My burning topic the NFL partnering on a new study using CBD to treat pain and protect from concussions. Wow, I know it just came out this past Thursday, this report, so some of the things I figured. I read a little bit of the article, but it also has updates on. Other major sporting organizations have updates on what they are moving towards as well. The NFL Football League is partnering with the Canadian researchers on a clinical trial to test the safety of CBD for pain management and neuro protection from concussions. The phase one trial will involve 35 people who will receive either a placebo or CBD rich cannabis extract to test whether it's safe, well tolerated and without a first psychological dysfunction for daily use. And the NFL has committed hundreds of thousands of dollars to research investigating the therapeutic potential of non intoxicating cannabinoid in recent years.
Speaker 1:NFL's drug testing policy changed in 2020 as part of a collective bargaining agreement. It stipulates that players will not face the possibility of being suspended from games over positive tests for any drug, not just marijuana. The ultimate fighting championship, ufc, announced last month that it is formally removing marijuana from its newly modified banned substances list for athletes. Also building on an earlier reform, last month, the National Basketball Association, nba and its players union signed a collective bargaining agreement that removes marijuana from the league's banned substances list and lays out rules allowing players to invest in and promote cannabis brands, with certain exceptions. Nevada Sports Regulators voted last year to send a proposed regulatory amendment to the government that would protect athletes from being penalized over using or possessing marijuana in compliance with state law.
Speaker 1:The New York media softball league, which has teams representing the Wall Street Journal, high Times and Buzzfeed among its ranks, announced last July that it was launching a sponsorship deal with a Kentucky based CBD company. The idea behind the collaboration was inspired by moves from the major league baseball and certain teams, like the Kansas City Royals and Chicago Cubs, that have also recently partnered with CBD businesses. You can see, since our episode on sports and cannabis, that it's still moving in the right direction. All this is last month. That's awesome, I know, I know I love this.
Speaker 3:I hope this keeps growing. Let it grow. Let it keep spreading.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and honestly, when I look at our episodes, sports and cannabis is the one that has the highest views. Oh, it's changing daily, phoebe. I mean daily, I mean especially. It's an election year, so I'm expecting some movement to happen pretty soon.
Speaker 3:We'll definitely give you updates along the way of what's happening out there with all the laws, and I wonder what types of things are going to be on the ballots this year as far as in local jurisdictions with legalization.
Speaker 1:I have a feeling you're going to be sharing stuff with me that I don't know and I like that. I'm all about that you share with me and make me smarter, just like the theme that you texted me this week about today's episode. Share with us, tell us what our theme is today.
Speaker 3:Well, come to find out. Animals like to get high too, it's not just people.
Speaker 1:I pulled up an article but I didn't read it because I want I want to be surprised with you Like I want a genuine reaction to what some of this stuff is. I just saw elephant. I know an elephant's on the list. I don't know how, I don't know why, but I saw elephant.
Speaker 3:A lot of these animals come to find out is because they're eating fermented fruit and so, like an apple tree apples are probably a big one because in general apples are known for alcohol but the fruit falls and it ferments and then the animal eats it. But they don't. It's not like oh, I accidentally, like they seek it out too on a level Like once they have it, they're looking for it. So with elephants I believe yeah, it was the fermented fruit that they're doing and that's they're saying like oh well, at first I guess scientists said there's no way elephants could actually get drunk Because they're, you know, they're too big. These are.
Speaker 3:But come to find out elephants don't have the. You know, there's an enzyme that breaks down alcohol basically in our bodies and that's we've talked about that before Elephants. They're, they don't it's, it's broken in them. So they actually get drunk pretty quick. They don't have a very high tolerance. Like in this research with what animals like to get high, there are things that are, you know, the size of a guinea pig that have a higher alcohol tolerance than an elephant.
Speaker 1:So Wow, okay, so they? They aren't born with that enzyme, or they just?
Speaker 3:it's, it's okay, they don't have it or it's no, they have it, I think, but it's like broken or it just doesn't. It's not very efficient, so it can't break the alcohol down as quick and flush it out. You know, because it's a toxin at the end of the day, Alcohol is a poison, it's just you know how you process it. It gives you those effects. So yeah, elephants are on the list. Christy, you are correct, Can I?
Speaker 1:guess another animal? Yes, please do. Okay. So I think you know monkeys are very smart, very intelligent, so I would bet a monkeys on the list.
Speaker 3:Monkeys are on the list. Vervet monkeys in particular are some that are. They're known criminals, I guess in the island in the Caribbean they're, they've recently either passed laws or they want to. I think they passed them already that you could basically kill them because they're. You know, it's open, it's okay to hunt them because they're. They're so aggressive with their alcohol addiction, what? And it comes from the same they eat these fermented fruits and berries. But when they can't get them, because the fruits, you know, the ferment fruits and berries. Some of them it comes from like the first frost, and so that extra water, and then they die, you know, and then they ferment. So I think that's so long, but the when the monkeys run out of that and it's not readily available, they will start stalking the tourists and stealing their alcohol. And I've I've actually seen animals get really aggressive with stealing food. So I can only imagine like, oh, they're itching, they want, they want to get drunk. So they're really and they get aggressive sometimes. Those monkeys, you know, you can't trust them.
Speaker 1:Wow, I never. It never even entered my mind that this was happening, Like I thought that was just a human flaw.
Speaker 3:No, well, I know, and that's what's kind of amazing. Here is again like, let's just take the shame and stick my out of this because this is part of nature. Yeah, we, we can't resist it, you know, and just like humans, like some of these animals get addicted to it and it causes problems for them, Like they'll die because they then got addicted to something and they can't stop. Some of you know it's like they, literally, in nature, wild animals have the same problems as humans when it comes to drugs, drug use. It's kind of wild. So bees.
Speaker 1:Oh wait, I want to guess. I want to guess, oh guess, I'm sorry. How many animals do I have on the list?
Speaker 3:I well, there's a lot out there, but on my list 15.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, I can. At least I have 15 to guess from. You've already said bees, so go ahead with the bees.
Speaker 3:Oh well, because bees are very interesting to me and I see for them. I didn't get in what I was reading, I didn't get the sense that they get addicted, but it'll happen. It'll be flowers. You know that's what bees do. They go and get nectar, the nectar and come to find out that confirmant also, and turn into alcohol. And I've actually seen this. Because it said have you ever seen a bee that's kind of like crawling on the ground and you and you think that it's. You think or it's about to die, that could be that they're drunk.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, my whole life has changed.
Speaker 3:And if they can still fly, like if they're not so drunk, they can't fly. If they can fly, they'll actually crash into flowers and trees and it's obvious how they move they get drunk. But wait, I'm going to take you a step further with bees, because that's why I wanted to talk about them. So they can't take that ferment back to the hive because that could collapse the hive internally, like that's toxic for them. So the guard bees you know bees all serve different roles in the hive, you don't know what yeah, okay, so the guard bees will actually, if they find these bees, they will like destroy them. They'll like pull their legs off and tear them all up so they can't crawl back to the hive, even because they want to keep them out. Like no, you can't come and destroy our hive, you wouldn't got drunk. So not only are you drunk and yeah, it's like getting kicked out of the bar.
Speaker 1:No, you can't, or out of your house?
Speaker 3:Are you getting kicked out? But you're also like they're tearing you apart to make sure you can't come home.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, who knew? No, not me. I had no idea. The only thing I've ever known and I'm sure it's on your list is catnip.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, cats, that's on my list.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh, that's the only thing I've ever heard of actually getting an animal high and them liking it. So we know about that one, okay. So then I'm gonna say Okay, we said bees, we said elephants, we said cats and monkeys, mmm.
Speaker 3:Tiger. Well, they are similar to cats. I mean they'll do the catnip thing. All cats are pretty much in line with catnip uh alligator? That's not, no, that's, that's. Let's see, actually there's only one animal that is water-based, I would say.
Speaker 1:I just want to say this Thank God there are no drunk alligators. Okay, we're all screwed. Florida, you're going down, true, all right, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 3:Oh no, just the only water-based animal, that is, dolphins. What Dolphins are? Very human-like. What are they drinking? Oh well, they're not drinking. See, I said there's. There are other things that these animals can discover, and puffer fish. Huh, puffer fish. It's like a fish in the ocean and the dolphins poor, the poor puffer fish. Because the dolphins will Bite on them and it makes them like it's secret, they're toxin which the dolphins will ingest and it makes them high and they'll toss it around like they'll toss the puffer fish around like a Helium balloon. It's like a helium balloon, so it probably traumatizes that thing if it lives through it. I don't even know, but the dolphins will get high to the point that like there Well they'll be it'll get, make them calm and relax and they'll just kind of be floating and they'll get mesmerized, like by their own reflection in the water, like they're high for real and this is something they seek out and like they know what they're doing when they're tossing that puffer fish around.
Speaker 1:Poor puffer fish. Oh my god, I need to get I'm gonna get a picture of a puffer fish and put it in the episode so we can all save the puffer fish.
Speaker 3:So there's so many and I know there's so much. Oh, my god, dolphins seem. I think dolphins are the only ones that actually take advantage of another animal. And wait, no, they're not. I'm, I'm time out there, not, oh, my god, who? Dogs? Dogs take advantage, I think wild dogs. I think they were to a specific, like in Australia, because they're specific to where the toad is. It's a cane toad and they don't hurt the. I shouldn't even say that maybe they hurt, but it just said that they'll lick them because they secrete hallucinogenics. I'm coming back a toad and so the dogs will seek that out and they'll lick the toad to get.
Speaker 1:So this toad is only where I believe it's Australia.
Speaker 3:I'm about to let me get for sure on that one it's Australia.
Speaker 1:That means the dogs in Australia are getting high from toads, yeah All right a little bit.
Speaker 3:My dog is getting high on cane toads, that is. Someone actually posted that.
Speaker 1:These animals are so smart and they just want to chill. They do.
Speaker 3:Birds, any birds? Oh yeah, that's a big one. Oh, and I will say birds and bats are in the same window and it's it's again. It's the fermented berries and fruits that they eat that get it. Bats are known to be drunks, like, they have tolerances and like, and then birds also like and you got to think about, because they can't fly straight, and so it's just the other day I had a bird fly and hit my window and now I'm like that bird was probably drug and we did just have a first frost. That bird was probably drunk and it hit our window. Boom, and I heard it and I'm like what is going on? I looked out and I just saw like it took off, so it was fine, but I just saw feathers flutter and from like he flew Into our window. He's really drunk. I.
Speaker 1:Just saw on tiktok a bat trying to get into somebody's house like banging on the on the back door. That bat was freaking drunk. My whole view on everything is changed. First aliens, now drunk bats are at people's doors.
Speaker 3:Oh, Wow, wait, and why you talk about aliens? There's a connection? No, so I guess Tasmanian farmers were finding crop circles at a point, and they couldn't. They thought it was aliens. You know, of course, that's what it. We thought all crop circles are aliens. No, come to find out this was wallabies that were eating the poppies that grow in their fields In a circle the part that make painkillers while they're getting high, and they're just eating a my god, I need, I need footage.
Speaker 3:I need. There are videos of a lot of this stuff. If you look a, look it up.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh, I'm gonna find it, I now. I want to see this happening.
Speaker 3:Brown bears are another one, if you look up those up, and that's terrifying. Hmm, moose, moose, and there are stories that it's pretty common in Sweden, it said, and you can find pictures of this moose that are like wasted and they crashed into a tree just like a car. It's a moose laying in a tree.
Speaker 1:Wow, wow. I think you they're cool, though Just have a feeling there Just.
Speaker 3:Well, there's apparently stories of like drunk moose harassing school children walking home. So I don't know if it is cool. Christie, you don't want it. Moose are big, you don't want that, they're just so cute, I think, what is that cartoon? Bo-winkle.
Speaker 1:Bo-winkle, I maybe I'm just associating it with that, but yeah, no, I really wouldn't be happy if a moose was tormenting my child.
Speaker 3:No, and what can you really do there?
Speaker 1:Absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3:Here's another interesting one, the Pentel tree shrew. It's in Malaysia and it's very small. It weighs less than a pack of skittles and it actually has a tree. The Britann plant that it drinks its nectar and that nectar has a 3.8% alcohol content, so it's like drinking a beer and they drink it like water. They drink it.
Speaker 1:And what are these animals? I don't know that. I've ever heard of that.
Speaker 3:A tree shrew, yeah they're very little Kind of like not a squirrel, but maybe consider it like a squirrel. They drink a certain tree nectar and they're actually it's funny like it's evolved between the tree and the shrew that it's more accessible to them. They can crack it and get to it easier through evolution because they drink it so often and it gets them drunk. Another one that very human ask fruit flies. They get drunk. They like alcohol.
Speaker 1:Off of our own alcohol, like leaving outside type shit. Okay.
Speaker 3:Well, you know, they're always just buzzing around. So yeah it could be ours. Fermented berries, you know, fruit flies, fermented fruit again, but it says that with fruit flies, what to me is the human like this very human of them, when the males get rejected, they'll actually, they're known to seek out alcohol.
Speaker 1:When they get rejected from like the female fruit flies.
Speaker 3:Rejection makes them want to go drink.
Speaker 1:apparently I'm like are you telling me, fruit flies are like us? Yes, yes, what it's like. You don't even think they have brains. You know what I mean, well they have feelings.
Speaker 3:It just means that. That's how much that. That's just that is the brain.
Speaker 1:They get rejected. So they seek out alcohol, a fruit fly, what the hell you know one that we kind of swat and use the get away and kill you kind of thing they have feelings to of rejection. Oh my God, wow, ok, that's new.
Speaker 3:That's a new one. Who knew?
Speaker 1:Who freaking knew You'd have to trip over this information? It's not something they're teaching you in school. Fruit flies get drunk because they're rejected. That's what I'm going to take away from this episode, freaking emotion.
Speaker 3:I was like I don't know, there might be more. You take away from this, because I have two more on my list that we should go over the black lemur and it gets high, it gets his jollies off of millipedes what?
Speaker 3:They lick, lick it, they'll chew it, they'll kind of nibble at it because it makes them secrete more toxins. You know, these are all these ways animals protect themselves by getting other animals high, apparently too, and they they'll. So it makes it secreted and what they do is they first they rub it all over their body because it is like it keeps mosquitoes away, and so they want to do it for that reason. So they groom themselves with it, and but they'll keep nibbling at it and keep doing it, and it gets them very, very high, to the point where they they'll just keep nibbling at it until they pass out.
Speaker 1:Once again, I don't even know what to say to that. They rub it all over their body, first of all, poor millipedes. And what? And I guess, if they're rubbing a millipede all over their body and then chewing on it, they're dead. They're killing the millipedes for their own enjoyment.
Speaker 3:Gruming protection. They're protecting themselves from mosquitoes, so there's there's some practical use in this too.
Speaker 1:Well, I have a question then If they are protecting themselves from mosquitoes, could we in essence rub a millipede on our bodies and get protected from mosquitoes?
Speaker 3:You try that out, Christy, and get back to us Let us know.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, think about it. Have they invented it, millipede juice.
Speaker 3:That's what's in off. No, I'm joking. No, I mean we should. I was about to say it's probably better for you than deep.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, I bet you there is. I bet you, if we look up millipede bug repellent, I guarantee you. If not, we have an invention.
Speaker 3:There's money to be made. Yeah, and the last one that it's reindeer. Who freaking knew Rain?
Speaker 1:You know, Santa likes a little bit of a eggnog.
Speaker 3:So there's ramifications like this is OK the reindeer. It is fact that they seek out eminuta miscaria mushrooms. You know what those are?
Speaker 1:I know what mushrooms are. I guess it's just a certain type of it, huh.
Speaker 3:Yes, ma'am, and they're red and white. They look kind of like the Mario mushroom, which makes me think, huh, is that what Mario's based on? You know, I wouldn't doubt it, man, I don't know. I'm going to go and look into that. Maybe we need to research video games and tie to it, because, yeah, once I was reading it I'm like that's true, you take mushrooms as a hallucinogenic. That is kind of like what Mario World is like.
Speaker 1:It is, though, and even the way that you take it, it's closed and everything All right. Put that on the back burner. We probably need to hit that.
Speaker 3:There you go. But reindeer actually like these mushrooms, they eat them, they get the same type of fillings, they get high, just like half hallucinations, just like we do. And it says actually for them, it gives them the feelings of taking flight. So what do we know about reindeer and flying, santa's involved? And then the mushrooms red and white. I mean, hey, I'm just giving you the facts. You do what you want with them.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, here's the question Mushrooms, where can you find them? Is this all over the place, or is it cold climates? If it's in cold climates, we are definitely on to something.
Speaker 3:Let's see. And then humans we're just so gross that we try to take that same mushroom. But some humans have also been known to drink the pee of the reindeer, because Some humans they got rid of the toxin through them taking it and so we're getting the more pure form of it again. So again, another thing you can try, christy you can run millipedes all over and drink some reindeer pee.
Speaker 1:That one. I will definitely try the millipede thing though, Like I could be. You could dare me, as long as there was money involved.
Speaker 3:People drink their pee Like that I mean, I don't know how widespread it is and I think it may be just like a wives tale, but it's known through history that people apparently did that.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah, it's not a wives old wives tale? Definitely not. But here's the problem with this whole theory the toxins are gone because the deer ate them, so they drink it because it's a milder effect, but the pee still has toxins in it. So like these people have not thought this all the way through, clearly, Well, are you ready for where it likes to grow?
Speaker 3:Where Is it cold? It's found in southern Alaska, down through the Rocky Mountains.
Speaker 1:Alright, so there's no drunk deer in America, I think there probably is. If it's anywhere, it's probably America. That was good stuff there. Phoebe, you are now the topic finder Really good stuff. I like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was good. I think it wasare we done.
