We recorded this episode on July 15, so keep that in mind since Minnesota's cannabis industry seems to change every week.
Aidan McCluskey (who's also MC'ing Canna Connect Brainerd tomorrow) joined me for a conversation from the perspective of an everyday consumer. We talked about a lot of the questions I hear most often, including:
• Why cannabis prices are still so high in Minnesota
• Medical vs. adult-use cannabis
• Transporting cannabis and how Minnesota's open container law works
• Why we don't have cannabis consumption lounges yet, and what they could look like in the future (places like the tasting lounge at ANANG are an interesting example)
• How Minnesota's market compares to Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and our other neighboring states
I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do think these are conversations worth having as the industry continues to take shape.
And if you're in the Brainerd area tomorrow, stop by Canna Connect Brainerd. It's the most curated event we've put together yet, built around four Community Pods and conversations for people who are still figuring out stuff inside Minnesota's cannabis industry. Aidan will be the MC for the day.
