S2 E19 | Soup Or Bowl, Porcupine Clouds, and Learning the Finer Sciences of Cannabis with Bryant Jones

With the state’s Office of Cannabis Management set to launch its licensing process, Steve and Tanner break down key dates, what businesses need to know, and when we might see the first licensed dispensaries open. Meanwhile, Moorhead is preparing to open Minnesota’s first off-reservation cannabis shop, and NPR takes a deep dive into the challenges facing the U.S. regulated market, from competition with the legacy industry to overly restrictive regulations.

Plus, we bring some fun into the mix with our Super Bowl-themed game, Soup or Bowl.

Then, Steve sits down with Bryant Jones, a key player in the industry, to discuss where things are headed and explore the finer science of cannabis.

Finally, we wrap things up on a high note! Huge thanks to Dabbler Depot for hosting us! If you enjoy the show, leave us a review or tell a friend!
