A new cannabis shop just opened north of the Twin Cities, owned by Forest Lake’s mayor Blake Roberts — a family with deep roots in horticulture since 1930. After running a bagel shop and funeral home, they’re now embracing the cannabis industry, sparking community excitement. General Manager Josh Prestegaard, who battled pancreatic cancer, credits cannabis with giving him hope and helping him reconnect with life. Locals like Tess Cody are thrilled about the potential for healing and community support. The Roberts brothers are eyeing their own cultivation soon, while Mayor Roberts pledges to stay impartial on city council votes involving his business — proving how one family’s legacy is evolving with the times.

Minnesota’s new law, taking effect July 1, 2026, gives survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or harassment a powerful legal tool: the ability to petition a court to remove an abuser’s interest in a home they’ve been paying for under a contract for deed. Designed for victims who’ve made payments and no longer live with the abuser, the law cuts through financial entanglements and offers swift relief—courts must grant the petition if the abuser doesn’t respond within 21 days. It’s a bold step toward housing safety and autonomy, empowering survivors to reclaim their homes and futures without lingering legal traps.
