On this solo-hosted episode of First Bake, Mark sits down with Drew and Riley—two passionate entrepreneurs behind Botanical Bliss and Lifted and Gifted—for a deep-dive conversation into Tennessee’s evolving cannabis scene. From open blasting days in California to launching one of Nashville’s most trusted sources for clean, craft flower and solventless rosin, the guys share their journeys, wins, and wild stories along the way.

They talk about the impact of the Farm Bill, navigating legal gray areas, building a cannabis business with purpose, and their upcoming launch of Green Note Market—a curated online and pop-up marketplace for premium cannabis, glass, art, and more. The episode also includes a live product unboxing, a look into their award-winning strains from the Southeastern Cannabis Cup, and a preview of their 4/20 events, including a private infused dinner.
