In this special episode of The Cole Memo, I’m joined by Aaron and Dave — the voices behind The Elevated News Podcast and the driving forces behind SupportDopePeople.com. We talk about how their show started during the pandemic and how they’re using media to push cannabis culture forward in Illinois and beyond. We also reflect on breaking news around SB42, the future of homegrow and farmers markets, and why access — not just profit — should be at the heart of cannabis policy. Come for the laughs, stay for the policy breakdowns, and leave with a deeper appreciation for what it means to build community through this plant.
