Episode Details

Welcome back to The Elevated News Podcast with Two Dope Dudes. Dave is back and we are diving into another week of cannabis news, culture, and commentary from the Midwest and beyond.

This episode covers the strange contradictions happening in the cannabis industry right now. Alabama is about to launch medical cannabis after years of delays, while someone in Illinois just received a 16 year prison sentence for a cannabis crime. At the same time lawmakers in multiple states are fighting over cannabis taxes that may be hurting legal markets.

We also bring back My bud Jon’s new strain review segment where he puts MAC 1 from Simply Herb to the test. Did it live up to the hype or fall flat?

If you care about cannabis policy, legalization, culture, or just want honest conversations about the industry, you are in the right place.

Join the conversation in the comments and let us know your thoughts.
