In this episode of Northern Lights, Steve and Tanner dive into the latest developments shaking up the cannabis world. First, they dissect the Office of Cannabis Management's recent legal action against Zaza in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Then, they unpack fresh Gallup poll data revealing that cannabis has officially outpaced tobacco in popularity (finally!), while exploring how GTI and RISE are positioning themselves for big moves in the hemp industry. Plus, they discuss the former OCM director’s transition to a new role in the federal government—and her brand-new podcast.
Next, Tanner sits down with Curtis White of MN Roots, a cannabis retailer with locations in Elk River and Cross Lake, MN. Curtis shares stories about growing up in rural Minnesota, his experiences working in the cannabis industry in California and Arizona, and the invaluable lessons he's learned over decades in the field. Hear all about his headline-grabbing partnership with Off the Path, a tribally-owned dispensary making waves in the industry.
Finally, it’s time for Tanner’s Terp Tasting, where we sample Sour Papaya rosin from T.Squisher. As always, we wrap up with The High Note, reflecting on the current state of cannabis, our mental states, and everything in between.
