Lukas Behal joins us and provides his background in events which has led him to organize one of the world’s largest trade shows in the Czech Republic. He notes that there were better times in the past- decades ago, just after Czechoslovakia split, homegrow was prevalent and public consumption was not an issue. Since 2010, he’s been building the trade show within the context of legal cannabis.
And based on Lucas’ personal experience, we also get a chance to discuss the differences between socialism and communism. And we come away thinking the true enemy of society being laziness coupled with an aversion to conceiving of original thought.

Speaker 1: He notes that there were better times in the past decades ago. Just after the checklist of Ikea Split, homegirl was prevalent in public consumption, was not an issue since 2010. He's been building trade show within the context of legal cannabis and based on Lucas's personal experience, we also get a chance to discuss the differences between socialism and communism and we come away thinking the true enemy of society being laziness, coupled with an aversion to conceiving of original thoughts. Welcome to cannabis economy. I'm your host Seth Adler. Check us out on social with the American economy. That's two ends. And the word economy wookah should be how? Yeah, how? Yeah. How nice
Speaker 1: or something. Oh, look at that. So long distance runner. What do you stand in there for it or that could. You know what I'm talking about? The, a grateful dead song. Yeah. Yeah. I grew up on the grateful dead and there we go. All right. What else you got? What? Uh, do you remember? Any of the albums are live albums or tapes. Did you have tape? Yeah, I went through many different kind of music, like rock music, rap music or rock rock rock like faith. No more are okay. They're like nine each night or we are. We have to be the same exact age as we discussed. We basically are because faith no more was a moment in time, you know what I mean? That didn't happen for a long time. Or Jane's Addiction. Oh sure. There you go. And speaking of Jane's addiction and the grateful dead, there was a cover album that they put out where Jane's addiction does a version of ripple. While I have no clue about that, you have to please look that up. It is worth your time, I promise. Okay. I will do that. And so I asked you if I could pronounce your name. Whew. Gosh.

Speaker 1: Alright. So we have a lot to talk about because I've spoken to a number of folks from, you know, many parts of the world haven't spoken to anybody from the Czech Republic will get to Canada fest, but give us just a sense of what's going on on the ground in the Czech Republic regarding cannabis. Whoa. As you mentioned, the kind of fsts a war or east trade, a trade show. Interesting. Have you told everybody, because there's a lot of people say we're the world's biggest where though
Speaker 2: this kind of marketing and the many people from, uh, from our business already noticed that we are the largest. Everyone who is visiting,
Speaker 1: he's always like very surprised because comparing to your trade shows, it's something totally different. You know, how many, how many people, how many exhibitors? Yeah.
Speaker 2: If I tell a world's largest, it means, uh, if you count the indoor a exhibition space, uh, the, it's not about the number of companies participate. I say body, it's about space because, uh, usually at your trade shows you got to just, uh, all, uh, all the booths are the same. You know, it's like three by three by three and no matter if you are just small company or if you are like huge company, you know, at my trade show and the most of European trade shows, every company can choose the size, uh, they want to show up and feel like we might be doing that now too. But like spike right span of from the beginning, I was just fighting with spanner is going to be the biggest, just uh, every, every time I come with the, with the opinion that the are with the, with the meaning that we are the biggest largest that they come the next year.
