It's the final episode of the first month of 2025, and what a year it's been! Jordan, Steve, and Tanner kick things off with the latest news, diving into highlights from the 2025 OCM Annual Report, the public's reactions to proposed rule changes, and the ongoing legal battles over the state’s canceled preapproval lottery. Plus, we play a round of Blazed and Confused, our stoner-themed “Would You Rather” game.

In our featured interview, Tanner is joined by Dave Woodbeck of Dope CFO to discuss cannabis accounting and financial strategy. Dave shares his journey from traditional accounting to cannabis, his work with Dope CFO, and critical financial advice for cannabis startups in Minnesota.

This week, the crew is trying Unwind's Energized Orange Cream gummies. The staff at Unwind recommends these gummies for getting things done, embracing creativity, or getting the giggles. Check them out today in Moorhead!
