Episode 32 - Rescheduling on Schedule (with Rachelle Gordon and Drew Emmer)

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!
