SUMMARY:

In this episode of Homegrown Hustle, we dive into the evolving world of cannabis entrepreneurship with three industry trailblazers Matthew Robidou, Margi Scott, Nate Milstein from the Minnesota cannabis scene. From breaking stigmas to navigating regulatory gray areas, these pioneers are redefining how cannabis is grown, marketed, and consumed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Cannabis entrepreneurship requires resilience – Regulatory shifts can make or break a business.
• The knowledge gap is real – Consumers & lawmakers often misunderstand cannabis science.
• Ethical production matters – The industry is flooded with low-quality, unsafe products.
• Microdosing & functional cannabis are the future – Cannabis isn’t just about getting high; it’s about wellness.
• Education is the key to adoption – The more informed consumers are, the more they trust cannabis as a legitimate solution.`
