When it rains cannabis news in Minnesota, it’s a freaking snowstorm! Tanner and Marcus dive headfirst into a whirlwind of updates shaping the state’s cannabis landscape. With leadership shake-ups at OCM and a fast-tracked rulemaking process that has disappointed many in the community, the year is already off to a wild start.

But it's not all news on Northern Lights! Join us for game time with Who’s In the Circle? This week, we debate who earns the final spot in the smoking circle: buds, besties, or beefs? Who’s the chillest toke buddy, and who’s most likely to hog the joint? We’re making tough calls, and it’s your turn to weigh in!

Tanner also sits down with Sydney Peloquin from Minny Grown to talk about her journey into cannabis, the evolution of the industry, and how she tells the brand’s story online. From standout products to exciting plans for 2025, Sydney gives us a glimpse of what’s next for this Minnesota-grown powerhouse.

Finally, it’s time for the weekly High Note! Tanner, Marcus, and Jordan share their latest musings—whether cannabis-inspired revelations, a flash from the past, or totally random epiphanies.

Buckle up—it’s a blizzard of cannabis content to kick off the new year, and you won’t want to miss a second of it!
