Episode Details

Canadian cannabis operators that remain in the market continue to show resilience, even while excise tax obligations weigh heavily on the sector. Talks in Ottawa between the Liberal government and former Bank of England governor Mark Carney have raised questions about whether meaningful reform could finally be on the table. Meanwhile, in the U.S., Minnesota is navigating lawsuits tied to its adult-use rollout, and Virginia’s upcoming gubernatorial election could set the stage for legalization if Rep. Abigail Spanberger wins in November.On this episode of the Trade To Black podcast, presented by Dutchie and hosted by Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell, Rubicon Organics (TSX: ROMJ | OTCQX: ROMJF) CEO Margaret Brodie shares the latest on the company and her perspective on the broader Canadian cannabis landscape. She discusses how companies that have survived industry consolidation are positioned today, and why potential tax reform matters for long-term competitiveness.The conversation then shifts south of the border with Michael Bronstein, president of the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp. Bronstein unpacks the legal disputes in Minnesota that are complicating the state’s adult-use rollout, while also looking at Virginia, where the November election could be a tipping point. Spanberger has already signaled that passing adult-use cannabis legislation would be a priority if elected, making this race one of the most consequential for cannabis policy in the U.S. this year.#CannabisNews #TradeToBlack #RubiconOrganics #MargaretBrodie #MichaelBronstein #MinnesotaCannabis #VirginiaCannabis #CanadianCannabis #CannabisInvesting #DutchieWant to see last week's recap?   • Cannabis Industry Fights for Billions in R...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Congress Exposes Chinese Cannabis Cartel N...     • Trump’s Drug Czar Pick: Cannabis a Biparti...     • Congress Reacts to Trump’s Cannabis Commen...     • Congress Takes Aim at China’s Cannabis Net...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
