Episode Details

On the latest episode of TDR Trade to Black, presented by Flowhub, hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell walk through a week where cannabis law, politics, and market pressure all start overlapping.Joining the show is Jacob Raver, Senior Managing Associate at Dentons, who has been following the NRA-related Supreme Court case involving gun ownership and medical marijuana for quite some time. The case centers on whether cannabis consumers can legally be barred from owning firearms. In a rare alignment, the NRA has joined cannabis advocacy groups in pushing back against that restriction. Raver explains what the Court is being asked to decide, how federal law runs into state cannabis programs, and why the outcome could have wider implications beyond just gun rights.The conversation also references ongoing legal commentary from Eric Berlin, a cannabis attorney at Dentons, who has previously discussed how these Second Amendment cases fit into the broader federal cannabis framework.The episode then turns to renewed attention around Epstein-related court documents that mention former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr. No conclusions are drawn, but the discussion focuses on why optics and credibility matter — particularly as Barr remains connected to legal efforts opposing cannabis rescheduling.The show also covers bipartisan signals out of Texas, where lawmakers are increasingly talking about regulating hemp-derived THC instead of banning it outright, acknowledging how large the market has become.In Florida, the hosts break down why the latest adult-use legalization initiative failed to qualify for the November ballot.The episode wraps with an update on The Cannabist Company, which has entered into a forbearance agreement with senior secured noteholders, highlighting the financial pressure still facing parts of the sector.Straightforward conversation. No spin. Just what’s happening.Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Instagram:   / dalesreport  ✅ LinkedIn:
