Recreational marijuana has been legal in Minnesota for two years now. We’ve got an update on where things stand. People are getting pumped up about inflatable watercrafts. We’ll talk about how these inflatables became game changers for lake life. Plus, wild rice harvests have been diminishing, and there’s a fierce debate over how to respond. What you need to know about the battle over Minnesota’s state grain.
Read more about inflatable watercraft, wild rice and Mark Boswell’s personal essay about wild ricing.
This week our guests are audience editor Matt DeLong, outdoors reporter Bob Timmons and North Central Minnesota reporter Kim Hyatt.
Update: In this week’s episode, it was mistakenly stated that there was a prophecy about wild rice among the Ojibwe and Dakota people. We have updated the audio and removed the error. This was a prophecy among the Ojibwe, not the Dakota.
