Please Note: This episode was recorded before news broke that Charlene Briner will step down as interim director of OCM on Jan 17th to be replaced by OCM's General Counsel Eric Taubel. Check back next week for our full take!

Tanner and John kick off 2025 with an in-depth look at Minnesota’s cannabis landscape. As the legislative session looms, the state faces uncertainty, with legal disputes and special elections shaping the balance of power. We explore what’s ahead for lawmakers and the cannabis industry.

Next, we delve into the latest moves by Minnesota-based MSO Vireo, followed by a special game, Looking Back on 2024, where we rank last year’s most impactful cannabis moments. Which events will stand the test of time, and which will go up in smoke?

Tanner also chats with John Dugas of Superior Molecular about cutting-edge hemp-derived edibles, water-soluble THC, and the future of cannabis emulsions in Minnesota and beyond.

Then a one-two punch of Tanner's Terp Tasting with Green Machine Farm's BOP and Hashy Gilmore's Sour Papaya with Cayle from the Dabbler Depot!

To wrap things up, we're joined by our friend Kelly to share our High Thoughts to close this exciting first episode of the year!

Filmed and Recorded at the Dabbler Depot Studio in St. Paul
