Episode Details

In our latest Trade to Black podcast, host Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell welcome back attorney Shane Pennington to unpack the legal realities behind the week’s biggest cannabis headline: Donald Trump’s DEA nominee, Terry Cole, stating that marijuana rescheduling will be “one of [his] first priorities” if confirmed.But what does that actually mean?Pennington breaks it down in layman’s terms—clarifying where we are in the current rescheduling and appeals process. Is the ALJ hearing dead, or just paused? If it’s not over, can Cole pick up where things left off and move the process forward? And if it is dead, could the new administrator bypass the administrative hearing entirely?Shane also weighs in on whether Trump’s public support for medical cannabis could influence Cole’s decision-making, and whether cannabis advocates should adjust their legal strategies under this administration.Plus, Saphira Galoob of the U.S. Cannabis Roundtable joins the show to analyze Congress’s latest moves—SAFE Banking, the STATES 2.0 Act, and the PREPARE Act—and what Trump’s renewed pressure could mean politically.Plus, Dan from The Chart Guys joins us to break down the recent price action across cannabis stocks. He shares his take on whether this week’s policy announcements could trigger a short-term rally, and what traders and investors should be watching as we head into next week.#CannabisRescheduling #DEA #TerryCole #CannabisLaw #MarijuanaReform #TradeToBlack #SAFEBanking #STATESAct #CannabisPolicy #CannabisNews #CannabisStocks #CannabisBankingWant to see last week's recap?   • Trump’s Cannabis Push Headlines Bigge...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Trump’s DEA Nominee Signals Cannabis ...     • Will TRUMP Legalize Marijuana Banking...     • Cannabis Culture, 4/20 History, and t...     • Can Cannabis Stocks Stay Resilient Am...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
