Description
President Trump’s cannabis reform efforts may not be finished yet.In this episode of Trade To Black, host Shadd Dales sits down with Weldon Angelos, founder of Mission Green, during the Ignite Cannabis Capital Conference in Chicago to discuss what could be the next major catalyst for the cannabis industry: federal clemency.Following the federal government’s move to reschedule state-licensed medical cannabis to Schedule III, Angelos says attention is now shifting toward individuals who remain incarcerated for federal cannabis offenses. He shares new details on the clemency review process currently underway, the role of Pardon Czar Alice Johnson, and why thousands of federal cannabis cases are being reviewed.Angelos also explains why rescheduling could create momentum for additional cannabis reform efforts, including expungement legislation and broader criminal justice initiatives. The discussion touches on bipartisan support, changing attitudes in Congress, and why many lawmakers may view cannabis differently now that it is no longer classified as a Schedule I substance.One of the most powerful moments of the interview centers on the story of Danny Trevino, a Michigan medical cannabis operator serving a lengthy federal sentence despite operating under state law.Could cannabis clemency become the next major reform headline? How many federal cannabis prisoners could ultimately be released? And what role will the White House play moving forward?Watch the full interview and let us know your thoughts in the comments.#CannabisNews #CannabisReform #MissionGreen #WeldonAngelos #ScheduleIII #CannabisRescheduling #CannabisJustice #TrumpCannabis #TradeToBlack #CannabisStocksWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬 • Virginia Cannabis Legalization Back On Tra... 🎬 • Lawsuit Targets Cannabis Rescheduling Proc... 🎬 • Trulieve Becomes First Cannabis MSO Approv... 🎬 • Cannabis Stocks Arrive On Robinhood | TDR ...
