S2 E24 | Big Week for Cannabis News, Marcus Talks Shop with His Partners, and We Celebrate "Lit Lent"

Welcome to the Kobe episode of Season 2!

This week, the gang updates us on some recent House Bill introductions while also (obviously) empathizing with the OCM and all of their IT issues in the final hours before the application deadline. Happens to the best of us! You'll get 'em next time, OCM!

Plus, later in the episode, Marcus introduces us to the other 2/3 of his business venture, Jamil Jackson and Justin Carter. Between these three dudes lies an endless stream of stories, wisdom, lessons, and laughs as they chat about their histories both in cannabis and in business, how one mistake can lead to the greatest second chances in the world, and they look ahead to the exciting things coming around the corner for Minnesota cannabis.

Also in this episode, Tanner, Steve, and Jordan most likely get cancelled by playing a new game Tanner has dubbed, "Lit Lent." Take one guess as to what you think this game is about...
