This week, Steve and Tanner are joined by guest cohost Rachelle Gordon of Greenstate. Can you guess what we talk about in this episode? If you guessed the DEA's proposal to move cannabis from Schedule I to III, you're correct! If you guessed the bill introduced in Washington to regulate and deschedule cannabis federally, you're correct! If you guessed the CannOmnibus bill passing the Minnesota Senate, you're correct! And if you guessed the hosts discuss the measure making its way through the Minnesota Legislature to restrict packing (can you read six-point font?), then you're also correct! It's a busy week, and we top it off by trying Legacy Cup-winning Flo from The Stash, a watermelon strawberry beverage concoction.

Then, Steve sits down with Drew Emmer, Strategic Relations at Boveda. They explore the history of the Minnesota-based company that innovated a product known across the country helping to Save The Terps. Drew recounts the connection between a cigar company and the legacy cannabis industry that reformed products today.

Finally, it's time for another segment of Cooking with Clem, a collaboration between Doctor Dabs and Northern Lights Podcast. Today Clem's whipping up some Cajun Shrimp flavored with Infused Cajun Seasoning! Doctor Dabs Healthy Highs makes a wide variety of THC-infused products, including infused Maple Syrup from Taylors Falls, MN. Learn how to use Infused Cajun Seasoning to make your own infused meal at home!

As Taylor Swift would say, "My Friends All Smell Like Weed," because it's the first legal 4/20 in Minnesota! John and Tanner share their experiences celebrating at various events across the Twin Cities. Then they dig deep into legislation moving it's way through the chambers, both good (CannOmnibus) and bad (HF 4251). Next, we try Heti's new Meadow Cat Nap THC beverage, inspired by Dakota roots and created by Dana Thompson, co-creator of the James Beard Award-winning Owamni Restaurant.

Then, Steve and Tanner sit down with Colin Kelley to discuss the history of cannabis in Minnesota and the future of national cannabis. Colin recounts the early days at Leafline Labs, from applying for a license to growing the first harvest, all while working within the confines of new and evolving regulations. They also discuss the value of bringing experience into your growing team when working in the cannabis industry.

4/20 is less than a week away, and the Department of Health is celebrating by destroying half a million dollars worth of illicit cannabis products. Marcus, Steve, and Tanner break that down, and a whole lot more happening throughout the state, including St. Joseph passing a moratorium while exploring municipal shops, roadside testers reporting a high participation rate, and more fun at the Legislature in St. Paul as the CannOmnibus bill makes it way through the law-making meat grinder. Next, we try 4 Canna, CannaConnect's new collab with Modist Brewing!

Then, Marcus and Tanner sit down with Jeremy Sutherland to talk about his background with Hybrid Nation and his role as a co-founder of Crooked Beverage Co. We learn more about what brought him to the cannabis industry and try our best not to ask about Ryan Winkler’s cannabis habits (spoiler: we failed).

Finally, it's time for another segment of Cooking with Clem, a collaboration between Doctor Dabs and Northern Lights Podcast. Today Clem's whipping up some Beghrir (Moroccan Pancakes) topped with infused Maple Syrup! Doctor Dabs Healthy Highs makes a wide variety of THC-infused products, including infused Maple Syrup from Taylors Falls, MN. Learn how to use Infused Maple Syrup to make your own ice cream at home!

As rainstorms wash away the last of the snow, they usher in a season of cannabis flowers in Minnesota, and John, Marcus, and Tanner are here to break it down. Expungements begin in May; Chippewa County says "no" to cannabis, while Wayzata says "Yes, please!"; and a dispensary two hours outside of Minnesota is offering to pay gas money to any Minnesotans making the trip. Then we crack into legislative updates while cracking open Gus Dean's NEW Royal Caramel Cold Brew, another home run!

Next, Steve and Tanner sit down with Shawn Weber, owner/operator of Crested River and President of the Minnesota Cannabis Growers Cooperative and Industry Council. They dig into his past, exploring why he chooses to work to organize Minnesota's cannabis industry and discuss the next steps for Crested River as Minnesota moves into the next chapter of legalization.
