About Blaze Local

Hello, Twin Cities.
I’m Michael.

I’m building Blaze Local because I’m interested in the people and stories behind Minnesota’s cannabis community.

I’m Michael Jaeger, the person behind blaze420mn. Blaze Local is a new chapter: an independent project focused on local people, cannabis culture, and the Twin Cities.

I’m starting small—local conversations, useful guides, and a weekly email. I want to get to know the people behind neighborhood businesses: how they started, what matters to them, and what they want first-time visitors to know.

You don’t need to know all the terminology or have the right connections to be curious. My aim is to make these stories approachable, useful, and worth your time.

What you’ll find here

Blaze Local is getting started. I’m preparing conversations with local business owners, building practical guides for first-time visitors, and developing the Blaze Weekly email.

I also offer content services for local businesses: turning a conversation into a website story, social posts, and an email they can share with their customers. Paid partnerships and sponsored content will be clearly labeled.

Help shape what comes next

Know a business with a story worth telling? Have a question you’d like a guide to answer? I’d like to hear it.

Thanks for being here at the beginning.
