We a multi, multi continents in nations, immigrants here in Israel and that's, we all come together. We come together in Israel. So how, you know, how do you come to cannabis, right? You have this, this long history, we're not going to get into it really, but essentially though you, you're running the cannabis in Israel, how, Eh, I became to be the director of the Imch, the Israeli medical cannabis agency in the beginning of 2013 and after Eh,

Speaker 3: a different career in different things and then up to date and I didn't knew much about cannabis and you know, that kind of be succeeds and you know, that kind of b so much.
