This episode of TDR Cannabis in Five features Shadd Dales breaking down a Marijuana Moment op-ed by Hirsh Jain of Ananda Strategy, focusing on the problems inside California’s cannabis program and what the state’s new regulator must address.The episode outlines Jain’s central argument: California, despite being the world’s largest cannabis market, has built a system that often hurts legal operators while enabling the illicit market. High taxes, heavy fees, slow licensing, weak enforcement, and widespread municipal bans have pushed many consumers back to illegal sellers.We review the key fixes Jain says are necessary, including lower taxes, streamlined licensing, broader retail access, and smarter enforcement strategies. The video also explains why this matters nationally: if California can’t execute a functioning legal market, it creates hesitation for institutional investors and sends the wrong message to other states working toward reform.Overall, the episode lays out what’s wrong, what needs to change, and how California’s next regulatory move could influence the entire U.S. cannabis landscape.#CaliforniaCannabis #CannabisNews #WeedPolitics #CannabisReform #HirshJain #CannabisMarket #WeedStocks #MSOS #TDRMedia #CannabisRegulationWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Supreme Court Takes a Look at Cannabis | T...     • Inside the HHS Rescheduling Report | TDR C...     • Three Months That Made Cannabis Impossible...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
