"We about the purpose of this industry, not the profit. Look at us as the bridge. Look at us as someone you can bring your problems to. And if you want to help us put paint where it ain't, check us out at nationalcannabisparty.org and help us bridge the gap with this industry," he said during the Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo in New York City last June. "One thing I can say, coming from the 1990s, where cannabis wasn't understood at all. You might as well have said cannabis was crack in the 1990s. Big facts. Guys like me, Snoop Dogg, B-Real, Method Man — we put this cannabis industry on the line. Meaning that we missed a lot of endorsements. We missed a lot of money because companies like Coca-Cola, Sprite — they didn't understand how cannabis was healing people and helping people."
