- She Blaze S7 Ep. 11 ~ Virginia Cannabis Industry🎙️ New Episode Alert! | She Blaze S7 Ep. 11 — "VA Stalls Again: Virginia Cannabis Deep Dive"Virginia was the FIRST southern state to legalize adult-use cannabis — so why is the industry still stalling? This week we brought in an expert from the streets to break it all the way down. 🌿Ice Dawson & Dasheeda Dawson (@TheWeedHead) are joined by special guest Chelsea Higgs Wise, Executive Director of Marijuana Justice, for a real conversation about what's happening on the ground in Virginia:🕰️ The History — How did Virginia get here? Chelsea takes us back to what pre-legalization organizing looked like and how the community fought to make it happen.⚖️ Post-Legalization Reality — Legalization passed, but what has actually changed for the communities that were most impacted by cannabis prohibition? Are people getting out of jail? Are records being expunged?🏥 Medical Cannabis in Virginia — Does Virginia have a functioning medical cannabis program? How is it being integrated into healthcare — and who is it actually serving?🏛️ The Governor's Veto — The streets are TALKING. Virginia's governor vetoed the retail market bill — we're asking WHY, what she wants the law to include, who her PAC supporters are, and when she's up for reelection.💼 What's Next? — What would an ideal Virginia cannabis market actually look like? And what should consumers AND operators be doing RIGHT NOW to prepare for retail sales?This one is for the community. Don't miss it. 🙏🎧 Listen & Watch Now: 🔴 YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/c/Theweedhead 🟢 Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2kBofP2v0MarSUOSuK1XlC 🎵 Apple Podcasts ► theweedhead.com/she-blaze#SheBlaze #VirginiaCannabis #CannabisJustice #MarijuanaJustice #ChelseaHiggsWise #CannabisPolicy #Expungement #WeedHead #Podcast #BlackCannabis #CannabisLegalization #VAcannabis48 min
- She Blaze S7 Ep. 7 ~ Rescheduling Deep Dive🎙️ New Episode Alert! | She Blaze S7 Ep. 7 — "Did the Trump Administration Really Just Reschedule Cannabis?"We got questions — and we're going ALL the way in. 🌿This week Ice Dawson & Dasheeda Dawson (@TheWeedHead) are breaking down everything you need to know about cannabis rescheduling — no fluff, just facts:Main Topic 1: ⚠️ What Rescheduling Does NOT Change — Cannabis remains federally illegal for possession in states where it is still prohibited. Rescheduling alone does not free anyone. Advocates are calling on Trump to pair this move with clemency.https://hightimes.com/activism/rescheduling-doesnt-free-anyone-advocates-are-calling-on-trump-to-add-clemency/Main Topic 2: 💰 Big Money is Moving — MSOs and pharmaceutical companies were front and center when the DOJ made its announcement. Now the cannabis industry is pushing the IRS for major tax relief. The Treasury Dept. & IRS have confirmed that guidance is coming — and it could mean significant positive tax consequences for businesses in the medical marijuana space.https://www.marijuanamoment.net/feds-announce-marijuana-industry-tax-guidance-is-coming-as-rescheduling-takes-effect/Main Topic 3: 🧾 What About 280E? — New IRS guidance is expected to clarify how the controversial tax code applies to businesses operating in both medical and adult-use markets. This is a big deal for multi-state operators.Main Topic 4: 🛒 Adult Use & Hemp Markets — Will the DEA and FDA now have regulatory power over the adult-use market? Will license holders face new DEA fees? We're asking the hard questions.Main Topic 5: 🌱 What Does This Mean for Consumers? — Will medical-only states like Alabama, Georgia & Idaho see higher THC limits? Will the financial "sin" penalties on legal cannabis finally be lifted? We dig into it all.📌 Want the full background? Revisit S7 Ep. 2 where we broke down the Congressional Research report — we saw this coming.🎧 Listen & Watch Now:🔴 YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/c/Theweedhead🟢 Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2kBofP2v0MarSUOSuK1XlC🎵 Apple Podcasts ► theweedhead.com/she-blaze#SheBlaze #CannabisRescheduling #Cannabis #TrumpAdministration #280E #CannabisNews #WeedHead #Podcast #MedicalMarijuana #HempIndustry #CannabisCommunity32 min

- She Blaze | S7 Ep. 4 ~ Medical Markets Navigating The IndustryMedical markets are heating up — and your girls She Blaze are HERE for all of it.This week Ice Dawson & Dasheeda Dawson are sitting down on the state of medical marijuana in 2026, and the news is giving us a LOT to work with.Hot Topic 1 ► 🚒 MARYLAND just passed a bill that would protect firefighters and rescue workers who use medical cannabis on their own time — employers can't penalize them for it.
