Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the ambitious initiative known as Project Four 2029, which aims to transform federal cannabis policy in the United States. Launched on July 4, 2026, Project Four 2029 seeks to build the legal case for rescheduling cannabis at the federal level by 2029. The initiative is not just about cannabis legalization; it frames the issue as one of public health, social equity, and economic policy. By highlighting the comparative safety of cannabis over alcohol, Project Four 2029 argues for a shift in federal law that currently favors alcohol. The organization believes that meaningful change is more likely to come through executive action and agency directives rather than prolonged congressional lobbying.

Project Four 2029 is structured around three main pillars: Industry Unification, Candidate Engagement, and Social and Economic Alignment. Founded by attorney Jason Adelstone and strategist Amna Shamim, the initiative aims to provide the cannabis reform movement with the legal rigor and public communication it has often lacked. Adelstone, who specializes in federal drug law and policy advocacy, ensures that the organization's positions are grounded in current law and legislative viability. Shamim focuses on increasing the organization's visibility through digital strategy and media relations. As the organization prepares for what it sees as a convergence of legislative opportunity and shifting public consensus in 2029, it emphasizes the importance of preparation over reaction.
