Episode Details

Is a regulated CBD program—potentially tied to Medicare—about to reshape who wins in U.S. cannabis?On the latest TDR Trade To Black, host Shadd Dales and co-host Anthony Varrell sit down with Micah Anderson, CEO of LEEF Brands (CSE: LEEF | OTCQB: LEEEF) for a grounded conversation about what could be coming next if Washington moves toward a structured, federally guided CBD framework.With cannabis reform back on the table following President Donald Trump’s executive order last month directing agencies to move rescheduling forward, the next question investors are starting to ask is: what does a regulated cannabinoid market actually look like when the government gets specific? That’s where a potential CBD framework—especially one connected to seniors, coverage, and medical channels—becomes a real storyline worth watching.The discussion focuses on what a “regulated CBD” market could actually look like in practice—distribution channels, compliance standards, insurance-style reimbursement dynamics, and why the rules (USDA vs FDA, cGMP expectations, contaminants, pesticide thresholds) will decide who’s truly positioned to participate.Micah explains why LEEF believes it has a practical head start: large-scale extraction infrastructure, earlier CBD experience through its Leaf Organics brand, and a pathway to activate hemp operations alongside cannabis capabilities under one roof in California—if state rules allow it. The conversation also digs into the economics—why regulated CBD could carry stronger margins than THC today, and why “full spectrum” matters if policymakers want real therapeutic outcomes.#CannabisNews #CannabisStocks #CannabisReform #Trump #DonaldTrump #ExecutiveOrder #CBD #Rescheduling #TradeToBlack #LEEFBrandsWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Why Trump’s Team Is Highlighting Cannabis ...     • Alcohol Rules Change While Cannabis Stays ...     • Proposed Hemp Extension Faces Ongoing Unce...     • The $4 Billion Problem Facing U.S. Cannabi...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
