Cannabis Entrepreneur Seeks Support for Bloomington Competition

Meeting date: Jul 23, 2025
Published Aug 23, 2025

A cannabis business entrepreneur is seeking community support for an upcoming business competition in Bloomington.

Audi Solram, founder and CEO of The Plug Experience, presented a proposal for a cannabis lounge concept during what appears to be a promotional presentation. The business model would include a brick-and-mortar location offering on-site consumption, delivery, and pickup services through what Solram calls 'Plugmobile' operations.

Solram cited Minnesota Department of Health data indicating 1.3 million cannabis users in the state while acknowledging potential risks associated with cannabis dependency. The entrepreneur described cannabis as helping some people manage pain and anxiety, though warned that excessive use could lead to dependency issues.

The proposed business would feature an open space for educational purposes and cannabis consumption, according to Solram's presentation. The concept involves strategic partners who are reportedly pursuing licensing for the operation.

Community members are invited to attend the Bloomington Hatch competition on August 6, where Solram will present the business concept and seek votes from attendees.

Cannabis could lead to dependency. And if you do too much of it in a day, it could turn into a week, a month, and all of a sudden your life starts to disappear in front of your own eyes.

[0:00] Hi, my name is Audi Solram and I'm the

[0:02] founder and CEO of the Plug Experience.

[0:04] And today I'm here to talk a little bit

[0:06] about cannabis. The Minnesota Department

[0:08] of Health has done a study that shows

[0:10] over 1.3 million cannabis users right

[0:13] here in Minnesota. And I get it. This

[0:15] plant is magical. It helps some people

[0:17] relieve pain, manage anxiety, and for a

[0:20] lot of people, it's just a way of fun.

[0:22] But here's something that nobody tells

[0:24] you about. Cannabis could lead to

[0:26] dependency. And if you do too much of it

[0:28] in a day, it could turn into a week, a

[0:31] month, and all of a sudden your life

[0:34] starts to disappear in front of your own

[0:36] eyes. Hi, I'm here on a mission to

[0:39] increase the cannabis accessibility with

[0:41] one hand while protecting the community

[0:43] at the other. And for Hatch Bloomington,

[0:46] we are proposing a brickandmortar space

[0:48] where we open up an innovative lounge

[0:51] with insight consumption as well as

[0:54] delivery and pickup concepts through the

[0:56] Plugmobile uh operations. And we're

[0:59] pitching alongside with our strategic

[1:01] partners who are undergoing licensing to

[1:04] really make this innovative business

[1:05] model come to life. and imagine a very

[1:08] open space where you can come hang out

[1:10] for educational purposes, but also

[1:13] consumption and getting your cannabis.

[1:15] So, if you're excited about cannabis or

[1:17] want to hear more, please come out to

[1:19] the Bloomington Hatch competition on

[1:21] August 6th where we'll be ready to

[1:23] welcome you and introduce our concept to

[1:25] the world and have you hopefully vote

[1:27] for us. Thank you, and I hope to see you

[1:29] there. Thanks.
