California Governor Gavin Newsom recently joked that if he were the “leader of the free world,” he’d legalize cannabis and get Americans “high on patriotism.” Funny line, sure — but the real story is the politics behind it.For years, Democrats have campaigned on cannabis reform and delivered little to nothing. From Obama to Biden, promises of decriminalization, banking access, and legalization have gone unfulfilled. Even popular measures like SAFE Banking stalled out. Meanwhile, public support for reform sits near 70%, including strong numbers among independents and Republicans.Now Donald Trump is back in the White House. Republicans control both chambers of Congress. That means the GOP has a chance to seize cannabis reform — whether through rescheduling, banking access, or another federal move — and flip the script by claiming Democrats failed while Republicans delivered.On TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, Shadd Dales breaks down why Newsom’s comment isn’t just a joke — it’s a signal. Democrats may finally realize they’re on the verge of losing an issue they once owned. We’ll cover Newsom’s California record, the risks for Democrats, and what a GOP-led reform push could mean for the industry and investors.The bottom line: cannabis reform is now bipartisan. The only question is whether Democrats will act before Republicans take credit.#CannabisNews #TDRCannabisInFive #CannabisReform #GavinNewsom #DonaldTrump #CannabisInvesting #CannabisStocks #USPolitics #SAFEbanking #CannabisLegalization #MarijuanaReschedulingWant to see last week's recap?   • Weekly Recap: Supreme Court Showdown Over ...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Cannabis Industry: TrumpRx Signals Shift C...     • Senator Ties Cannabis Rescheduling to Bank...     • Trump Endorses Cannabis in Truth Social Vi...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
