Episode Details

The Illinois cannabis industry is STILL dealing with lawsuits, corporate consolidation rumors, and major questions about fairness… and now the FINAL licensing lawsuit is heading to court.

This week on The Elevated News Podcast, we’re joined by Dag from QC Gardening Supply to talk about the upcoming Quad Cities Gardening Seed Swap, growing your own cannabis, and why community matters more than ever.

We also break down:
