Episode Details

Shadd Dales, Anthony Varrell and GUAP break down the growing divide inside the GOP on cannabis and hemp reform — and why it could shape the 2026 election.A new letter to President Donald Trump — signed by major cultural figures like Mike Tyson, Kevin Durant, Allen Iverson, Roy Jones Jr., Ricky Williams, and Dez Bryant — is urging immediate action on three key issues:1. Clemency for nonviolent cannabis offenses2. Rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III3. Ending discriminatory banking restrictions on legal cannabis businessesThe group, branding itself as the Coalition of Athletes and Entertainers Supporting Trump’s Policy Objectives, is strategically tapping into Trump’s past work on clemency and deregulation, while calling out President Biden’s failure to deliver on his own cannabis promises.Shadd also shares key takeaways from his exclusive interview with Mike Tyson, where Tyson confirmed his recent visit to the DEA, saying his voice is only going to get louder when it comes to promoting safe, legal cannabis — especially as the illicit market remains a serious risk, with reports of fentanyl contamination in street weed.We also cover Matt Gaetz’s interview with Florida Rep. Alex Andrade, where Gaetz says cannabis reform is how the GOP can win the youth vote — while Rep. Andy Harris pushes a federal hemp-derived THC ban that could decimate the CBD industry.The 2026 election cycle is already being shaped by cannabis — and the battle lines inside the GOP are becoming impossible to ignore.Let me know your thoughts in the comments.#TradeToBlack #CannabisRescheduling #MikeTyson #DEA #HempBan #CBDNews #GOPCannabis #CannabisPolitics #FarmBill2026 #SafeCannabis #RegulateCannabisWant to see last week's recap?   • DEA Raids, German Cannabis Buzz & Trump’s ...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Texas Vetoes Hemp Ban: Here’s What It Mean...     • Alcohol Sales Are Dropping — Cannabis May ...     • Mike Tyson Joins Cannabis Rescheduling Fig...     • Why Canadian Cannabis Companies Are Domina...     • Are Republicans or Democrats Holding Marij...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
