#227 - SUMMER SUPER SHOW: Elevated News Podcast x The Cole Memo

The Three Dope Dudes are back, this time combining forces like a cannabis Megazord to bring you a packed summer wrap-up. From Illinois craft showcases and brand shoutouts to the real talk on seed-to-sale tracking systems, monopolization, and THC inflation, no topic is off-limits. We explore the politics of hemp versus marijuana, unpack the latest on potential federal rescheduling, and share why consumer education still matters in a market driven by numbers over nuance. With a mix of policy insight, personal stories, and industry news, this conversation goes beyond the headlines to examine where cannabis is now—and where it might be headed next.
