Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell sit down with two guests—Margaret Brodie from Rubicon Organics and Michael Bronstein from the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp—to cover important updates in both the Canadian cannabis market and a fast-moving hemp policy fight in Texas.Segment One – Rubicon Organics (ROMJ:TSXV)Rubicon Organics CEO Margaret Brodie returns with updates on the company’s latest moves. On July 2, Rubicon launched its 1964 Supply Co. all-in-one FSE resin vapes, marking a strategic push into Canada’s competitive vape market. Brodie also shares details on the Hope, BC facility expansion, which is expected to boost premium cannabis production through the back half of 2025. We also take a step back to discuss the broader Canadian cannabis market, where consolidation and easing pricing pressure in premium categories may signal a slow shift toward more stable growth.Segment Two – Texas Hemp & Federal UpdatesThe bigger story is in Texas, where hemp policy could soon shift. Michael Bronstein breaks down what’s at stake as lawmakers head into a special session following Governor Greg Abbott’s veto of SB3. With HB42 in focus, legislators will debate THC potency caps, retail licensing, consumer protections, and local opt-outs—decisions that could make Texas a blueprint for U.S. hemp regulation.Bronstein also weighs in on today’s vote on Terrence Cole’s potential appointment as DEA Administrator under the Trump Administration, a move that could influence how aggressively the federal government approaches cannabis rescheduling and hemp enforcement going forward.#TexasHemp #HB42 #TerrenceCole #DEA #HempReform #RubiconOrganics #CannabisNews #THCRegulation #CanadianCannabis #TrumpAdministrationWant to see last week's recap?   • Biggest Cannabis Developments This Week – ...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • New Study Links Medical Cannabis to Fewer ...     • Texas Hemp Showdown: What HB 42 Means for ...     • Senate Shakes Up Hemp & Cannabis – Psyched...     • Glass House Brands Raided – What It Means ...     • Rescheduling Showdown: GOP Tries to Stop I...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
