Episode Details

So… is cannabis rescheduling actually happening, or are we stuck watching another slow-motion government process?That’s the question a lot of people are asking right now — especially after the DEA confirmed the rescheduling appeal process is still technically pending, even after President Trump’s executive order. On the surface, that sounds like a delay. But once you slow things down and look at how this process actually works, the story gets a lot clearer.In this episode of TDR Cannabis in Five presented by Flowhub, Shadd Dales breaks down where things really stand with federal cannabis rescheduling — and why “pending” doesn’t mean “dead.” A Republican lawmaker closely involved in cannabis policy, Rep. Dave Joyce of Ohio, says concerns about the DOJ dragging its feet are overblown. According to Joyce, Trump was very clear in directing federal agencies to move cannabis out of Schedule I and into Schedule III.Here’s the key point: executive orders don’t flip a switch overnight. They start a process — one that involves scientific review, administrative steps, and legal safeguards. That’s exactly where we are now.This episode walks through what Schedule III would actually change — and what it wouldn’t. Easier research access? Yes. Potential tax relief for operators? Possibly. Instant legalization or federal free-for-all? Not even close.We also talk about why lawsuits are expected, why they face an uphill battle, and why alignment between the White House, HHS, and the DEA matters more than daily headlines.Bottom line: this isn’t a story about whether rescheduling happens. It’s about timing, execution, and making sure it sticks.And that’s where things get interesting.#CannabisRescheduling #ScheduleIII #CannabisPolicy #FederalCannabis #TDRCannabisInFive #CannabisReform #CannabisIndustry #DEA #DOJ #FlowhubWant too see last week's recap?   • Cannabis Enters 2026 With a New Tone | TTB...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • The $4 Billion Problem Facing U.S. Cannabi...     • Inside the Final Steps of Cannabis Resched...     • Supreme Court Takes Cannabis Gun Case | TD...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
