In this episode, Sam steps in as guest co-host with Lance Asher and chats with Minneapolis-based cannabis attorney Jared Reams. What starts as a casual intro quickly turns into a thoughtful (and often funny) deep dive into the legal side of Minnesota’s growing cannabis industry.
Jared breaks down what’s working, what’s broken, and what the hell is going on with social equity licenses in the state. From bizarre bureaucratic hangups to AI messing with applications, this conversation is full of real talk—no fluff, no filter.
There’s also a solid detour into parenting in the age of legal weed, purple football teams, and a shoutout to Prince (because of course).
Highlights:
Why Minnesota’s cannabis licensing rollout has been frustrating for applicants and attorneys alike
What it's actually like trying to help small businesses apply for licenses (spoiler: it’s not easy)
The role of AI in rejecting legit applications
Honest convo about policing, due process, and how laws get abused
Jared’s personal story: From suing the federal government to helping cannabis startups
Talking to teens about weed, and why being honest matters more than ever
Guest: Jared Reams
Attorney and founding partner at Shulman Buskey Reams. Known for trial work, compliance consulting, and helping cannabis entrepreneurs build legit, lasting businesses.
