A major voice outside the cannabis and hemp industry weighed in this week, drawing far more national attention to the new federal hemp-THC ban than lawmakers likely expected.In this episode of TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, host Shadd Dales breaks down Joe Rogan’s recent comments criticizing the federal ban President Trump signed. Rogan described the move as “really bad” and suggested that Big Alcohol’s influence pushed Congress toward a crackdown. His remarks also highlighted how the law could impact wellness users — including his wife’s mother, who relies on CBD products containing small amounts of THC.Rogan’s commentary matters because it brings a niche industry policy story to a mainstream audience. His framing — portraying the ban as part of a competitive battle between hemp-THC beverages and alcohol — is now reshaping how the issue is being perceived across business, media, and political circles.The episode outlines what’s at stake for hemp operators facing product elimination, cannabis MSOs navigating shifting competitive pressure, and consumers who depend on minor cannabinoid and CBD+THC formulations for everyday wellness. It also breaks down the next key developments to watch, including lobbying activity, regulatory clarification, and market adjustments.This moment marks a turning point in how the hemp crackdown is being discussed publicly — and the response from industry, lawmakers, and consumers is only beginning.#CannabisNews #HempBan #JoeRogan #THC #CannabisPolicy #HempIndustry #BigAlcohol #CannabisCommunity #MarijuanaNews #DutchieWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Hemp Ban Signed — What Is Nancy Mace Actua...     • Inside D.C.: The Real Fallout From the Nat...     • Can Hemp and Cannabis Finally Build One Un...     • How the Hemp Ban Impacts Cannabis Reschedu...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

What does Nancy Mace’s sudden return to cannabis and hemp politics really mean — and why did she jump back in right now?Welcome into our latest TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie.Today we’re looking at a move in Washington that caught pretty much everyone off guard. After nearly a full year of silence on cannabis, Congresswoman Nancy Mace has reentered the national conversation — and she’s doing it by challenging the federal hemp-THC ban that President Trump already signed.According to Marijuana Moment, Mace is circulating draft legislation that would block or reverse the new ban on intoxicating hemp products, including Delta-8, Delta-10, THCA flower, and hemp-derived THC beverages. And while her timing raised eyebrows, the bigger question is whether this bill actually has a realistic path forward.In today’s episode, we break down the political landscape, how operators are reacting, and why Mace’s reappearance has become a focal point for a hemp industry that’s now scrambling for any foothold it can find. We also look at what this means for cannabis operators — and why the two sides remain stuck in completely different policy worlds.The bottom line:This bill brings attention, but expectations need to stay realistic. The real fight ahead centers on definitions, clarifications, and enforcement — not a full reversal.#CannabisNews #HempIndustry #NancyMace #CannabisPolicy #THCBan #CannabisReform #TDRCannabisInFive #Dutchie #Delta8 #WashingtonDCWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Inside D.C.: The Real Fallout From the Nat...     • Can Hemp and Cannabis Finally Build One Un...     • How the Hemp Ban Impacts Cannabis Reschedu...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

What actually went down in Washington this week — and what does it mean for cannabis, hemp, and the push toward federal rescheduling?Welcome to the Trade To Black Podcast presented by Dutchie, with host Shadd Dales and co-host Anthony Varrell, who just got back from D.C. after spending two full days in rooms filled with the biggest names in the industry. Today, they’re breaking down what they saw, what they heard, and why the conversations in Washington hit different this time around.They’ll kick things off with the breaking update from Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who’s now circulating a bill to block the hemp-THC ban that President Trump signed. Then they’ll move into Joe Rogan’s comments slamming the ban and calling out alcohol-industry influence — two headlines that set the tone for the rest of the week’s conversations.From there, Shadd and Anthony get into what D.C. insiders were really talking about:• Rescheduling — When? Nobody doubts it’s coming, but the timeline remains a mystery.• Hemp Panic Mode — Panels and side-conversations all circled the same point: hemp and cannabis “need to come together,” but no one agrees on what that actually means.• Beverage Carve-Outs — Possible, but still a political maze.• Minor Cannabinoids — Huge innovation now at risk.• Industry Growth — Demand hasn’t slowed down, even with chaos in hemp.• Political Signals — From Florida to the RNC chair, cannabis has more allies than people think.All of this drops today at 4PM — only on Trade To Black.#Hemp #CannabisNews #HempBan #Dutchie #CannabisIndustry #HempIndustry #Rescheduling #DCInsiders #CannabisReform #THCPolicyWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Inside D.C.: The Real Fallout From the Nat...     • Can Hemp and Cannabis Finally Build One Un...     • How the Hemp Ban Impacts Cannabis Reschedu...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

Did the hemp industry just run out of time — or is there still a path forward after Congress banned all intoxicating hemp products nationwide?Welcome back to TDR Cannabis in Five, powered by Dutchie, where host Shadd Dales breaks down what he saw firsthand in Washington, D.C., just days after the announcement. Panels, insiders, lobbyists — everyone had the same look: panic. And it became clear fast that this ban isn’t just a crackdown… it’s the first domino in federal cannabis reform.Inside the conference, the message coming from policy voices was simple: “You have to clean up the market before you regulate it.” A lot of hemp operators ignored years of warnings, pushed intoxicating products into every gas station shelf, and dismissed the regulated cannabis industry. Now they’re realizing they need collaboration — and they need it fast.Hemp companies are scrambling for carve-outs, trying to pivot, and pushing to be part of the regulated future. But the clock is ticking: 365 days to adapt or disappear. The U.S. Hemp Roundtable is now at a crossroads too — either refocus on true non-intoxicating hemp or work alongside cannabis trade groups instead of fighting them.Meanwhile, cannabis operators could actually be positioned to win. If intoxicating hemp is going away, that demand doesn’t vanish — it shifts. And Washington insiders see this ban as step one toward broader cannabis reform.This is the moment both industries have been avoiding for years. Now they either work together… or one of them gets left behind.#CannabisNews #HempBan #Delta8 #CannabisReform #TDRCannabisInFive #Dutchie #ShaddDales #THCBan #HempIndustry #CannabisPolicyWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Can Hemp and Cannabis Finally Build One Un...     • How the Hemp Ban Impacts Cannabis Reschedu...     • Hemp Ban Sparks Major Lawsuits | TDR Canna...     • Ted Cruz Shocks D.C. by Backing the Hemp I...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

Now that the nationwide hemp ban is officially in place, the real question hits different:👉 Is it too late — or can the hemp and cannabis industries finally unite and push back against Big Alcohol, Big Pharma, and Big Tobacco before they take this whole space over?Because after this week, the wake-up call isn’t subtle anymore.For years, hemp and cannabis fought turf wars while legacy industries sat back, wrote checks in D.C., and prepared their own playbook. As attorney Brady Cobb told us on Trade To Black, when hemp and cannabis are at war, “the only people that win are Big Alcohol, Big Pharma, and Big Tobacco.” And he’s right — the infighting, the loophole economy, and the battles over Amendment 3 all created the perfect opportunity for Congress to slam the door shut.The hemp ban didn’t just target bad actors — it exposed how fractured this “industry” really is. But it also created a chance. A reset. A moment to finally align around one plant, one set of rules, and one unified strategy going into the next Farm Bill and the broader rescheduling debate.If cannabis and hemp want to shape the future, this is the moment. The next 12 months will define who builds this industry — and who gets pushed out by the legacy players already at the gate.#CannabisNews #HempBan #Delta8Ban #CannabisRescheduling #BradyCobb #BigAlcohol #CannabisReform #Dutchie #HempIndustry #CannabisIndustry#CannabisStocks #LEEFBrands #TradeToBlack #CannabisInvesting #CaliforniaCannabis #NewYorkCannabis #CannabisExtraction #VerticalIntegration #CannabisEarnings #CannabisNewsWant to see last week's recap?   • Congress Drops a Hemp Shockwave | TTB Week...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • How the Hemp Ban Impacts Cannabis Reschedu...     • Hemp Ban Sparks Major Lawsuits | TDR Canna...     • Ted Cruz Shocks D.C. by Backing the Hemp I...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

Can a California extraction-first operator really turn brutal market headwinds into 45% margins—and keep it going as New York ramps up? That’s the question on the table in this deep-dive with one of the rare feel-good earnings stories in U.S. cannabis right now.The TDR Trade To Black podcast, host Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell interview Micah Anderson, CEO of LEEF Brands Inc. (OTCQB: LEEEF) (CSE: LEEF), to walk through how an extraction-led, vertically integrated model is driving margin expansion in California and early wins in New York. From locking in sub-$10/lb input costs off a 65-acre farm in Santa Barbara County to running three extraction lines in Mendocino, Micah breaks down the playbook behind LEEF’s Q3 turnaround, capacity sell-through, and brand-partner strategy.They also get into what’s next: where concentrates and smokeless products fit as consumer preferences shift, how genetics and SOPs matter when you’re scaling outdoor at size, and why California could still be the global engine once interstate commerce and a “one plant” THC policy finally land. Along the way, the crew talks New York realities vs. hype, why being battle-tested in California matters, and how a company like LEEF is positioning for the day big CPG and beverage money shows up.This episode is a neutral look at how one operator is executing in two of the country’s most important markets.#CannabisStocks #LEEFBrands #TradeToBlack #CannabisInvesting #CaliforniaCannabis #NewYorkCannabis #CannabisExtraction #VerticalIntegration #CannabisEarnings #CannabisNewsWant to see last week's recap?   • Congress Drops a Hemp Shockwave | TTB Week...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • How the Hemp Ban Impacts Cannabis Reschedu...     • Hemp Ban Sparks Major Lawsuits | TDR Canna...     • Ted Cruz Shocks D.C. by Backing the Hemp I...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

A lot is happening in Washington today, and the cannabis industry is paying close attention.

Joining the show is Michael Bronstein, President of the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp (ATACH), for this week’s Insider’s Edge. He’s in D.C. as several major MSO executives meet to compare notes on policy, strategy, and the overall direction of federal cannabis discussions.We’ll cover why leaders like Boris Jordan (Curaleaf), Kim Rivers (Trulieve), Charlie Bachtell (Cresco Labs), and George Archos (Verano) are all in Washington at the same time — and what their presence signals about how companies are preparing for the months ahead.Today’s episode looks at the signals coming from policymakers, how MSOs are organizing their priorities, and what industry groups are watching closely as conversations progress in D.C. From capital flow to M&A interest to the ongoing tension between hemp and cannabis regulations, this is a helpful overview for anyone trying to follow the bigger picture in a steady, fact-based way.#CannabisNews #CannabisReform #MSOs #HempIndustry #WashingtonDC #CannabisPolicy #CannabisRescheduling #Dutchie #ATACH #HempBanWant to see last week's recap?   • Congress Drops a Hemp Shockwave | TTB Week...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • How the Hemp Ban Impacts Cannabis Reschedu...     • Hemp Ban Sparks Major Lawsuits | TDR Canna...     • Ted Cruz Shocks D.C. by Backing the Hemp I...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

Did the Wall Street Journal’s big headline actually backfire? Is the Trump administration slowing down rescheduling on purpose? And now that the nationwide hemp ban is officially law, what does this mean for the future of cannabis regulation?This episode of TDR Cannabis in 5 presented by Dutchie breaks down the latest signals out of D.C., the industry missteps that may have irritated the administration, and how the new federal hemp ban instantly reshapes the regulatory map.We start by rewinding to late summer 2025, when the cannabis industry went hard on rescheduling. CEOs were loud, lobbyists were everywhere, and then the Wall Street Journal added fuel with a headline basically telling Trump to move cannabis out of Schedule I. But according to what we’ve heard from insiders, that push may have been read as pressure — and the response from Washington quickly shifted to: “We hear you… but back off.” Not confirmed, but absolutely being talked about.Fast-forward to right now: the hemp ban has landed, banning intoxicating hemp products nationwide. Delta-8, THCA, and similar compounds are out. No more grey area. No more loophole. Congress made it clear — regulate cannabis or stop dancing around the edges.And that’s where the bigger picture comes in. The administration is still eyeing cannabis reform, but on its own timeline. CBD could easily be the first domino — especially if they classify it as a nutraceutical and start building a federal framework from there.A lot is moving quickly. The hemp ban changed the board overnight, and the next steps from Washington will decide how both industries evolve from here.#HempBan #CannabisNews #Rescheduling #Delta8 #CBD #CannabisPolicy #TrumpAdministration #CannabisIndustry #CannabisReform #HempIndustryWant to see last week's recap?   • Congress Drops a Hemp Shockwave | TTB Week...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Hemp Ban Sparks Major Lawsuits | TDR Canna...     • Ted Cruz Shocks D.C. by Backing the Hemp I...     • How Kentucky Bourbon Killed Hemp | TDR Can...     • If Hemp Gets Banned… Then What? | TDR Cann...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

What just happened in cannabis and hemp this week — and why does it feel like Washington hit “chaos mode” overnight? Did Congress really just re-criminalize an entire industry? And what does this mean for veterans, voters, operators, and your favorite brands on shelves right now?This episode of the TDR Weekly Recap presented by Dutchie breaks down the policy storm in D.C., the Senate’s biggest cannabis showdown to date, Florida’s next legalization fight, Tilray’s push for sane hemp regulations, and a wild earnings season that showed exactly which operators are thriving and which ones are bleeding.We kick things off with the federal spending package that basically nuked intoxicating hemp products — delta-8, delta-10, THC-P, all of it. The language closes the 2018 loophole and then some, setting THC caps so low that even standard CBD products would disappear. The hemp industry says this is a $30B mistake. Congress says the loophole needed to die. And honestly? Both sides are heated.Then we jump to the Senate floor, where Rand Paul made his stand… Ted Cruz surprisingly broke ranks… and Mitch McConnell officially tried to bury the hemp market he once created. Meanwhile, alcohol lobbyists are fist-pumping from the cheap seats.Florida voters? They want legalization yesterday. But will the state even allow the question on the ballot?Tilray? They’re calling out the ban as backwards — and pushing for actual regulation instead of panic-button policy.And earnings season? Total roller coaster. Village Farms crushed. Rubicon leveled up. Glass House reset. Ascend stayed steady. Cannabist pulled back. TILT wiped out. Planet 13 rebuilt.A lot moved fast this week — and the next moves from Congress and state regulators could reshape both industries all over again.#CannabisNews #HempBan #Delta8 #CannabisPolicy #TDRWeeklyRecap #Dutchie #CannabisInvesting #MSOs #CongressNews #CannabisReformWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Hemp Ban Sparks Major Lawsuits | TDR Canna...     • Ted Cruz Shocks D.C. by Backing the Hemp I...     • How Kentucky Bourbon Killed Hemp | TDR Can...     • If Hemp Gets Banned… Then What? | TDR Cann...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

Did Congress just shut down the entire intoxicating hemp market? That’s the question circulating today after lawmakers officially moved ahead with a federal ban on all hemp-derived products containing any detectable THC. It’s one of the biggest policy shifts since the 2018 Farm Bill and it immediately reshapes the landscape for both hemp and cannabis operators.The TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, breaks down what this official ban covers, how broad the language truly is, and why it affects far more than just Delta-8 beverages. Products that were compliant under state rules — including gummies, tinctures, drinks, and even certain full-spectrum CBD items — now fall under this federal prohibition. States like Minnesota, Tennessee, and Kentucky spent years building regulatory systems, and those programs are now overridden at the federal level.This episode also outlines the industry pushback now underway from attorneys who argue that the ban goes far beyond addressing bad actors. Their warnings highlight potential impacts on farmers, manufacturers, retailers, and national consumer-goods companies that had begun investing into hemp-derived product lines. With Congress choosing a broad prohibition approach, the focus now shifts to how state agencies, regulators, and operators navigate the transition period.The final outcome will depend on implementation details, state-level responses, and any additional guidance that may follow. This development will also factor into upcoming federal discussions around cannabis, CBD, and long-term regulatory structure as policymakers reassess the line between hemp and marijuana.#CannabisNews #HempBan #THCBan #Congress #CannabisPolicy #HempIndustry #Delta8 #Dutchie #MitchMcConnell #CannabisIndustryWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Ted Cruz Shocks D.C. by Backing the Hemp I...     • How Kentucky Bourbon Killed Hemp | TDR Can...     • If Hemp Gets Banned… Then What? | TDR Cann...     • The Hemp Crackdown Begins Now | TDR Cannab...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
