Artisans of Michigan: Stainless steel and high-end metalwork

Why Lake Superior State thinks cannabis-related degrees are a good bet
- Since Michigan voters passed Proposal 1, legalizing recreational marijuana use in the state, a massive cannabis industry has begun to take root. Some Michigan universities are trying to keep pace with this change by adding cannabis-related courses and programs. One of these schools is Lake Superior State University, which recently added degree programs in cannabis chemistry and business.
- Rodney Hanley, the school’s president, discusses the need and potential for these new programs, what they’ll teach students, and how Michigan could become a national leader in the marijuana industry.

We talk to two of the people behind the project about what they hope listeners take away from it. Dave Lorenz is the vice president of Travel Michigan, and Eddie Logix is one of the musicians featured on the album.
