Episode Details

In our latest Trade To Black podcast presented by Flowhub, hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell get into a mix of market data, policy, and earnings — and it all ties together more than you’d think.We start in Ohio.Hirsh Jain from Ananda Strategy joins the show to talk about what he’s seeing after a big month. According to Headset, Ohio just put up about $107 million in sales for April 2026, up roughly 26% year-over-year.But the more interesting part isn’t just the number.There’s growing talk across the industry that recent hemp restrictions may already be pushing consumers back into licensed dispensaries. It’s early, but if that trend holds, Ohio could end up being one of the more important markets to watch right now.From there, the conversation shifts to Washington.A new report from Marijuana Moment highlights how the White House is starting to focus more on high-potency cannabis and how it’s being marketed, as part of its broader national drug strategy. So while reform is clearly moving forward, the tone around public health is also starting to tighten.On the company side, the guys also break down Curaleaf (TSX:CURA) and its latest Q1 2026 earnings, looking at what stood out and how the company is positioning itself heading into a potential post-280E environment.And finally — a quick update on federal rollout.It’s been about a week since the DEA started accepting registration applications from state-licensed medical cannabis operators, and already more than 400 companies have gone through the system. That tells you operators are taking this seriously — and moving quickly.A lot happening right now — and this episode connects the dots.#TradeToBlack #CannabisNews #OhioCannabis #CannabisInvesting #Curaleaf #DEA #CannabisPolicy #CannabisReform #CannabisStocks #FlowhubWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Cannabis Rescheduling Faces Legal Question...  🎬    • Congress Tries To Slow Cannabis Reform | T...  🎬    • DEA Moves On HHC — What It Means | TDR Can...  🎬    • DOJ Signals Shift On Cannabis & Firearms |...  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:
