Episode Details

Did President Biden’s cannabis reform actually move the needle—or did it fade once Trump returned to the White House?That’s the question at the center of today’s episode, as new testimony reveals how the Biden administration quietly built the foundation for federal cannabis rescheduling and issued sweeping possession pardons.TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, revisits those behind-the-scenes moves, first reported by Marijuana Moment, and explores what they mean in today’s political climate. Former Chief of Staff Ron Klain and policy director Neera Tanden detailed how the White House handled the pardon memos, scientific review orders, and daily “decision book” that placed cannabis reform inside official policy—not just campaign rhetoric.The episode walks through how Biden’s 2022 directive to the Department of Health and Human Services and the DOJ led to the current Schedule III recommendation, and why those same documents still shape the Trump administration’s choices now. With Trump back in office, priorities may shift toward enforcement—but the groundwork can’t simply be erased.From pardons to rescheduling, TDR Cannabis in Five highlights the crossover between justice reform, state markets, and federal policy momentum. The discussion stays focused on what’s verifiable: how institutional policy built during the Biden era still informs today’s federal cannabis debate, even as political leadership changes direction.#CannabisNews #CannabisRescheduling #TrumpAdministration #BidenPardons #Dutchie #MarijuanaMoment #TDRCannabisInFive #CannabisPolicy #WeedNews #CannabisIndustry #MarijuanaReschedulingWant too see last week's recap?   • McConnell vs. Paul Split Could Define U.S....  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Seth Rogen Calls Out Big Alcohol Over Hemp...     • Hemp vs. Cannabis: Inside the Trump-era In...     • Mike Tyson Takes His Cannabis Fight to Pen...     • What the Data Really Say About Cannabis an...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
