Episode Details

Texas just dropped an executive order on hemp that could flip the industry on its head. On paper, it looks like regulation. In reality, it could mean the end of THCA flower in Texas, a handoff of distribution power to liquor stores, and another example of cannabis operators getting the short end of the stick.The TDR Trade to Black podcast with host Shadd Dales and co-host Anthony Varrell is back to break it all down. Plus, Michael Bronstein, President of the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp, who’s been in the trenches on policy and knows exactly what this means will join us. Together, we’ll unpack what Governor Abbott’s executive order does to the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP), how it impacts hemp shops, and what the fallout could look like for cannabis companies that are still dealing with 280E, credit card restrictions, and heavy testing requirements.From potential lawsuits to the fingerprints of big alcohol, what’s happening in Texas is way bigger than one state. This executive order could be the playbook for how hemp and cannabis get carved up across the country — who gets a seat at the table, and who gets left outside. The small shops, the hemp players, the cannabis operators grinding under 280E — everyone’s got skin in this. And Texas just sent a pretty loud signal.#CannabisNews #HempIndustry #TexasCannabis #CannabisPolicy #CannabisRescheduling #THCA #BigAlcohol #CannabisReform #TradeToBlack #cannabisinvesting Want to see last week's recap?   • Weekly Recap: Bondi Dodges Cannabis Questi...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Texas Proposed Hemp Rules Could Trigger La...     • Why Trump’s Cannabis Silence May Be Strate...     • Mike Tyson: “Good News” on Cannabis Resche...     • Hemp THC Markets Surge Where Cannabis Is I...     • Does Rescheduling Marijuana Really Increas...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
