Chad hosts a Halloween episode with Daniel from Yendo Farms, who is wearing a llama onesie in honor of his adopted llama Yendo.

The episode begins with Chad introducing Daniel from Yendo Farms, who is dressed in a llama costume for Halloween. Daniel explains he has been growing cannabis for 10 years and now runs a consulting service through Yendo Farms. He discusses the prevalence of low-quality 'mids' in the market and emphasizes the importance of organic, clean cannabis.

He mentions using Organics Alive nutrients. The conversation covers Yendo Farms' rosin production in collaboration with Alabastra, under the Unidos project, and lists upcoming strains like Sour GAC and Sandia Cream Soda. Daniel notes their rosin is available in select dispensaries in New Mexico. The episode shifts to discussing a lawsuit by eight New Mexico cannabis companies against the federal government over border checkpoint seizures, citing Fifth Amendment due process issues. Chad and Daniel analyze the legal disparities between state and federal cannabis laws, potential solutions like descheduling, and the impact of federal legalization on small businesses. The episode concludes with Daniel inviting listeners to try their products and Chad thanking him for the update.
