Episode Details

Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell get into what’s really going on behind the biggest stories in cannabis and hemp — federal moves, state updates, and everything people are actually talking about right now.We’re kicking things off with the latest news across the cannabis and hemp space, starting with the federal hemp THC ban. Congressional researchers are now saying it’s not even clear how the feds plan to enforce it, especially with the FDA and DEA already stretched thin. And on the federal front, a newly surfaced DOJ memo admits the government knew the marijuana-user gun ban could be on shaky legal ground — right as the Supreme Court gets ready to take it up.Then we zoom into the states: Kentucky says its first medical cannabis dispensary is just weeks away, with the governor openly pitching cannabis as an alternative to opioids. And Trulieve made a big financial move by redeeming all US$368M of its 8% secured notes due 2026 — one of the cleaner balance-sheet resets we’ve seen heading into an election year.Plus, Michael Bronstein, President of the American Trade Association for Cannabis & Hemp will join us with his MJBizCon takeaways and some of the industry chatter already floating around for 2026.#CannabisNews #HempIndustry #CannabisPolicy #CannabisIndustry #TradeToBlack #MJBizCon #Trulieve #DOJ #CannabisReform #CannabisStocksWant to see last week's recap?   • Texas Issues Largest Round of TCUP License...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Dina Titus Demands Answers from Attorney G...     • Senator Blocks Trump Drug Czar Nominee | T...     • Why Cannabis Is Gaining Ground Clinically ...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
