In this episode of Controlled Burn, Shane and Brandon go from parenting paranoia and GPS surveillance to one of the biggest questions looming over the cannabis industry right now: the DEA registration deadline. With June 22 approaching fast, operators are stuck navigating a mix of speculation, partial guidance, and very real potential consequences.

We break down what’s actually known, what’s still unclear, and why waiting this out might not be the safest move. If you’re a grower, processor, or lab, this is one of those conversations you can’t afford to ignore.

🔥 Topics include:

• The June 22 DEA registration deadline — what it means right now
• What happens if you don’t register (and why no one really knows)
• How federal oversight could impact cannabis operators overnight
• SOPs, applications, and why this isn’t “just paperwork”
• The risk of waiting vs. the cost of acting now
