Episode Details

On this episode of the Trade To Black Podcast, presented by Flowhub, hosts Anthony Varrell sits down with George Archos, Founder and CEO of Verano Holdings Corp. (Cboe CA: VRNO; OTCQX: VRNOF), for a wide-ranging conversation on one of the most consequential stretches the U.S. cannabis industry has faced in years.Archos breaks down Verano's recently announced 1-for-5 reverse stock split and what it signals about the company's capital markets strategy. With the consolidation set to take effect in mid-June, the move is the latest in a series of deliberate steps — including Verano's 2025 redomiciling to Nevada — aimed at positioning the company for a potential uplisting to a major U.S. stock exchange. We dig into the why, the timing, and what institutional access could mean for a leading multi-state operator running 162 dispensaries across 13 states.The conversation also turns to the road ahead. With the DEA's June 29 administrative hearing poised to weigh broader cannabis rescheduling — beyond the medical and FDA-approved products already moved to Schedule III — Archos shares his read on what's at stake, how operators are preparing, and what the 280E tax relief unlocked by rescheduling could mean for balance sheets across the sector.Finally, Archos zooms out to the industry at large: the wave of reverse splits and cap-table cleanups sweeping the space, the legal challenges to rescheduling working through the courts, and where he sees the next leg of growth.It's a candid look at strategy, reform, and what comes next.#Cannabis #CannabisStocks #Verano #Curaleaf #Vireo #ScheduleIII #CannabisInvesting #MSOS #TradeToBlack #FlowhubWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Cannabis Stocks Arrive On Robinhood | TDR ...  🎬    • Why Virginia’s Governor Really Vetoed Cann...  🎬    • IRS Tax Guidance Could Boost Cannabis Prof...  🎬    • The Most Important Cannabis Hearing Yet | ...  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:
