Episode Details

Welcome back to TDR Cannabis in Five presented by Flowhub. In this episode, host Shadd Dales breaks down a major legal setback for Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) — one of the most vocal anti-cannabis organizations in the United States — after a federal judge dismissed the group’s lawsuit challenging Medicare’s hemp coverage pilot program.The court ruled that SAM lacked standing, meaning the organization failed to show any real injury or direct harm tied to the program. And inside the cannabis industry, many are now viewing this as more than just a legal loss. It’s increasingly being seen as another sign that SAM’s political and legal influence may be weakening as cannabis reform momentum continues building across the United States.Shadd also explains why this ruling matters ahead of SAM’s expected lawsuit challenging federal cannabis rescheduling. While the industry remains alert to what SAM may eventually file, confidence appears to be growing that federal agencies like HHS, DEA, FDA, and CMS are now operating from a very different scientific and political framework than they were even a few years ago.From Medicare hemp coverage to Schedule III rescheduling, this episode breaks down why the balance of power in cannabis policy may be shifting faster than many people realize.#CannabisNews #CannabisReform #ScheduleIII #SAM #CannabisPolicy #MarijuanaNews #CannabisStocks #CannabisIndustry #CannabisLegalization #TDRCannabisInFiveWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Cannabis Uplisting May Not Need Congress |...  🎬    • The Most Important 30+ Days In Cannabis | ...  🎬    • Cannabis Momentum Is Suddenly Building - H...  🎬    • Cannabis Rescheduling Faces Legal Question...  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:
