Episode Details

Can Donald Trump outflank Democrats on cannabis reform? That’s the question Roger Stone raised this week, arguing that Trump could seize political ground by rescheduling marijuana — a move Democrats failed to deliver during their time in power. What would that mean for policy, markets, and investors?The TDR Trade To Black Podcast, presented by Dutchie with host Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell, breaks down this new twist in U.S. cannabis politics and its implications for the industry. We also get into some of the big stories happening in global markets: • Cannabuzz joins WSWA: For the first time, a THC beverage brand has entered the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America, giving hemp-derived drinks a seat at the alcohol industry’s most powerful table. CEO Annie Rouse calls it a step toward legitimacy, standardization, and regulatory clarity. • Germany’s legalization report card: Early data from the Konsumcannabisgesetz (KCanG) shows cannabis-related offenses plummeting 60–80%, youth use declining, and no spike in traffic accidents. Still, the illicit market remains strong as cultivation clubs struggle to gain traction. • Verano Holdings’ financing move: The MSO announced a $75 million revolving credit facility, immediately drawing $50 million to refinance higher-cost debt. The facility, backed by real estate, provides financial flexibility and positions Verano for future growth.These are the latest developments driving cannabis politics, international reform, and company-level financial strategy.#TrumpCannabis #RogerStone #CannabisReform #MarijuanaRescheduling #THCDrinks #GermanyCannabis #CannabisNews #WeedPolitics #MarijuanaLegalization #GermanyCannabisWant to see last week's recap?   • Weekly Recap: Supreme Court Showdown Over ...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Cannabis Industry: TrumpRx Signals Shift C...     • Senator Ties Cannabis Rescheduling to Bank...     • Trump Endorses Cannabis in Truth Social Vi...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
