Episode Details

Shadd Dales and co-host Anthony Varrell welcome back—former hedge fund manager and activist investor Marc Cohodes, and cannabis entrepreneur and policy strategist Brady Cobb.This latest episode breaks down a major shakeup in Washington. Senator Mitch McConnell—the same lawmaker who helped legalize hemp back in 2018—is now backing a proposal that could effectively ban most consumable hemp products. It’s a surprising turn—and one that’s raising serious concern across the cannabis and wellness sectors.But here’s where it gets even more important: this move may end up doing more than just disrupting the hemp market. It could become the trigger that finally forces Congress to address comprehensive cannabis reform.We break down:• What the proposed hemp ban actually includes—and why it targets much more than Delta-8• How this could impact popular wellness products like full-spectrum CBD • Why Senator Rand Paul is pushing back with his HEMP Act to raise the THC threshold• How all this ties into the upcoming September 30 crypto regulation deadline, opening a legislative window for cannabis banking• Why the proposed hemp restrictions may indirectly push Congress toward full cannabis reform, by exposing the flaws in current policy• And why pressure is growing to create a unified national cannabis framework#CannabisIndustry #CannabisReform #CannabisStocks #CBDMarket #HempBan #BradyCobb #MarcCohodes #SAFEBankingAct #TradeToBlack #FarmBill #MitchMcConnell #CannabisReschedulingWant to see last week's recap?   • Top Cannabis Developments This Week: Tyson...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Banking, Cannabis, and the Trump Factor—Wh...     • Rand Paul Warns GOP Hemp Ban Would Destroy...     • Texas GOP War Over Cannabis: Abbott vs. Pa...     • Big Beautiful Bill Passes—Is Cannabis Refo...     • Could Cannabis Reform Win Trump the Youth ...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
