Episode Details

Why hasn’t cannabis banking reform passed yet? And what’s really standing in the way of STATES 2.0 moving forward? In this episode, we break down the exact process — from bill introduction to presidential signature — so you can see clearly where things stand and what it takes to cross the finish line. No hype, no guesswork. Just the roadmap.TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, with host Shadd Dales takes you through the mechanics of how federal legislation works and how it applies directly to SAFER Banking and STATES 2.0. We start with the basics: how a bill becomes law, committee markups, and the role of floor time. From there, we apply it to today’s cannabis reform bills — SAFER Banking, led by Senator Jeff Merkley and Senator Bernie Moreno, and STATES 2.0, introduced by Representative Dave Joyce. We also look at Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s control of floor scheduling and the 60-vote filibuster threshold, two factors that decide whether progress happens or stalls.This conversation also highlights what could actually shift momentum: rescheduling, bipartisan cosponsors, state-level pressure, and public safety arguments. If you’ve been wondering why bills with strong committee support often stall before reaching a vote, or how political math changes when senators signal public backing, this breakdown connects the dots.At the end of the day, cannabis reform in Washington still comes down to timing, floor access, and vote counts. Knowing how those mechanics work makes it easier to read the signals when real movement is on the horizon.#CannabisNews #CannabisReform #SAFERBanking #STATESAct #CannabisPolicy #CannabisInvesting #CannabisStocks #CannabisRescheduling #CannabisBanking #CannabisIndustryWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Rescheduling Cannabis Is Only the Beginnin...     • Pam Bondi, RFK Jr. & DOJ Moves — What It M...  Want to see last week's recap?   • Weekly Recap: Bondi Dodges Cannabis Questi...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
