Episode Details

A big week for the cannabis industry — and this one touches policy, markets, and a major shift in consumer behavior.In the latest Trade To Black podcast presented by FRE Pouch, host Shadd Dales breaks down what’s really moving the space right now.Out of Washington, the biggest story continues to be execution risk around cannabis rescheduling. With Pam Bondi out and Todd Blanche stepping in as Acting Attorney General, the question is no longer “if” — it’s “when.” Reports suggest Trump wants Blanche to finalize the Schedule III rule immediately, which could accelerate the timeline. But with Lee Zeldin still in the mix for a permanent role, uncertainty remains.At the state level, Florida continues to show why it’s one of the most stable cannabis markets in the U.S. March sales came in strong, pushing Q1 totals higher year-over-year — all without adult-use.Massachusetts is also evolving, with lawmakers proposing major structural changes to improve oversight, expand access, and better compete with the illicit market.And then there’s Canada — where a trend investors shouldn’t ignore is taking shape. Legal cannabis sales are rising, while alcohol sales are declining.On the business side, companies like Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY / TSX: TLRY) and Grown Rogue (CSE: GRIN / OTCQB: GRUSF) are leaning into product innovation and disciplined execution, while Ascend Wellness (CSE: AAWH.U / OTCQX: AAWH) is focusing on long-term ecosystem growth through social equity programs.Bottom line — this is a maturing industry, and execution is everything.#CannabisNews #CannabisStocks #CannabisIndustry #CannabisPolicy #Rescheduling #SAFEBanking #Tilray #CannabisInvesting #TDR #CannabisMarketWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?🎬    • How Media Gets the Cannabis Youth Conversa...  🎬    • Idaho Lawmakers Fighting to Keep Medical C...  🎬    • Missouri Moves to Ban Hemp THC Products | ...  🎬    • What’s Really Happening With Cannabis Resc...  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:
