Episode Details

Did the hemp industry just run out of time — or is there still a path forward after Congress banned all intoxicating hemp products nationwide?Welcome back to TDR Cannabis in Five, powered by Dutchie, where host Shadd Dales breaks down what he saw firsthand in Washington, D.C., just days after the announcement. Panels, insiders, lobbyists — everyone had the same look: panic. And it became clear fast that this ban isn’t just a crackdown… it’s the first domino in federal cannabis reform.Inside the conference, the message coming from policy voices was simple: “You have to clean up the market before you regulate it.” A lot of hemp operators ignored years of warnings, pushed intoxicating products into every gas station shelf, and dismissed the regulated cannabis industry. Now they’re realizing they need collaboration — and they need it fast.Hemp companies are scrambling for carve-outs, trying to pivot, and pushing to be part of the regulated future. But the clock is ticking: 365 days to adapt or disappear. The U.S. Hemp Roundtable is now at a crossroads too — either refocus on true non-intoxicating hemp or work alongside cannabis trade groups instead of fighting them.Meanwhile, cannabis operators could actually be positioned to win. If intoxicating hemp is going away, that demand doesn’t vanish — it shifts. And Washington insiders see this ban as step one toward broader cannabis reform.This is the moment both industries have been avoiding for years. Now they either work together… or one of them gets left behind.#CannabisNews #HempBan #Delta8 #CannabisReform #TDRCannabisInFive #Dutchie #ShaddDales #THCBan #HempIndustry #CannabisPolicyWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Can Hemp and Cannabis Finally Build One Un...     • How the Hemp Ban Impacts Cannabis Reschedu...     • Hemp Ban Sparks Major Lawsuits | TDR Canna...     • Ted Cruz Shocks D.C. by Backing the Hemp I...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
