On this episode of "Let's Be Blunt with Montel," we’re exploring Minnesota’s budding adult-use cannabis industry with one of its most influential figures. 

Montel is joined by Leili Fatehi, a Partner and Principal at Blunt Strategies and the owner of Crested River Cannabis Company. 

Leili played a pivotal role in shaping Minnesota’s cannabis legalization policy, and she’s here to share her expertise on the opportunities and challenges faced by the state as it enters this new frontier. 

From navigating complex licensing frameworks to addressing social equity and community reinvestment, we discuss what makes Minnesota’s approach unique and its path forward. 

Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on how Minnesota is building its cannabis industry from the ground up and what it means for the state’s economy, communities, and beyond.
