Getting rid of fluoride in the water isn't a way to "cull the herd". No countries in Europe have fluoride in their water and we don't all go around talking about how they are murderers.

The Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management has issued a license to Lake of the Woods Cannabis Company in Baudette. The dispensary's address is just a stone's throw from the Canadian border and it will certainly be a contender for northernmost marijuana dispensary in the continental US.

I know people are overwhelmed by too much news from every angle, and maybe people are distracted by the "terrorist" language, or just plain exhausted.

But this is the President of the United States saying he is going to go around killing people because he thinks they're criminals. And already did.

Archbishop Hebda with a message from Pope Leo:
Heโ€™s profoundly saddened to learn of the loss of life and injuries at Annunciation Catholic Church.
He sends heartfelt condolences and assurance of spiritual closeness to all affected by this tragedy.
He commends the sow of the deceased children to God.

UPDATE: Jacob Schlichter has what appears to be Minnesotaโ€™s first cannabis retail license!
We checked out his place last month after he was the first to go through inspection: www.fox9.com/news/blazing...

He texted me at 4:20 today with the update.

Minnesota could raise tax on cannabis products before marijuana market launches Legislators are looking to increase the tax from 10% to 15% and repeal language in the law that requires the state to share cannabis tax revenue with cities and counties.

Shout out to the state of Minnesota for raising taxes on cannabis before even licensing cannabis operations, great work

Minnesota cannabis tax hike proposed ahead of first sales A recently announced budget agreement would raise the gross receipts tax from 10% on sales at licensed businesses to 15%.

Seriously Gov., as much as I love you, the cannabis legislation and taxes on it, are a mess. Haven't even launched marijuana sales, and the taxes on purchases were just raised AGAIN! You're driving everyone back to the black market. mjbizdaily.com/minnesota-ma...

Kurtis Hanna said the higher tax could deter people who buy cannabis on the illicit market from purchasing it legally.

โ€œWeโ€™re taking an industry that hasnโ€™t even gotten up off the ground and making it more difficult to transition the illicit market to the legal market. Itโ€™s extremely concerning.โ€
