On our latest Trade To Black Podast, host Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell review three major headlines shaking up politics and finance this week. First, we’ll discuss how Alice Marie Johnson, once serving a life sentence, has been tapped as President Donald Trump’s new “pardon czar.” Could this role foreshadow a cannabis-friendly shift at the White House, or is it just optics?Next, we discuss the potential dismissal of the SEC’s lawsuit against Coinbase, removing what many consider to be a sizable regulatory obstacle. Crypto bulls are already celebrating as the commission appears to move away from the strict approach championed by former SEC Chair Gary Gensler.Plus we'll dive into New Hampshire’s House approval of HB 75, which legalizes adult-use cannabis possession without establishing a regulated market. The bill’s future is uncertain; Gov. Kelly Ayotte has hinted at a possible veto, though public support for legalization in the Granite State remains strong.Finally, Dan from TheChartGuys will break down recent price action and share what marijuana investors can expect in the weeks ahead, especially as the industry awaits possible rescheduling news.

On our latest episode of Trade To Black, hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell are joined by David Culver, Senior Vice President of the United States Cannabis Roundtable, to break down some of the biggest developments in the cannabis industry this week, including a major shakeup in the Trump administration that could impact cannabis reform.Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump nominated Mike Stuart as lead attorney for the Department of Health and Human Services. Stuart, a vocal opponent of cannabis legalization, has repeatedly called marijuana a gateway drug and has aligned himself with Jeff Sessions's hardline stance against state-level cannabis policies. We'll discuss his confirmation and whether it could significantly influence the DEA's upcoming decision on cannabis rescheduling, potentially slowing down reform efforts at the federal level.Meanwhile, we'll cover the legislative battles in Ohio, where SB 56 aims to roll back key provisions of the voter-approved marijuana legalization law, sparking criticism from civil rights groups and cannabis advocates.In Florida, new polling shows strong public support for cannabis reform, with 67% of voters backing legalization. However, Governor Ron DeSantis remains opposed, raising questions about whether the measure will survive legal challenges.Plus, former NHL player Daniel Carcillo, now Founder of Experience Onward, a state licensed legal psilocybin center in Portland, Oregon, will join us to talk about the recent appointment of RFK as head of the HHS and what this means for the psychedelic industry moving forward. #trump#trumpadministration#cannabis#cannabisindustry#cannabisreform#dea#marijuana#cannabisrescheduling Want to see last week's Recap from Cannabis Industry? https://youtu.be/gyxm3vY9qWoWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?https://youtu.be/vv8_HrxZNnwhttps://youtu.be/zC0xP6Gpepchttps://youtu.be/magYEO7H6ashttps://youtu.be/hLdIoz44RIEWant to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

On our latest Trade To Black podcast, hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell are joined by Eric Berlin from Dentons to discuss the rescheduling of cannabis.One of the topics they will delve into is whether President Donald Trump and the Trump administration can enact a direct ruling for cannabis rescheduling, instead of going through the prolonged ALJ (Administrative Law Judge) hearing.Eric will explain the legal process and whether a direct ruling is indeed a viable option. He will also discuss what we can expect in terms of next steps based on the decisions made by the 47th President of the United States of America. Cannabis stocks and the marijuana industry will be major focal points on the podcast as well. #ReschedulingCannabis#cannabisstocks#cannabis#POTUS#cannabis#marijuana#DonaldTrump#Trumpadministration. Note: Donald Trump could potentially enact a direct ruling on cannabis rescheduling by issuing an executive order, leveraging his presidential authority. This could bypass the traditional ALJ hearing process, but it would still face legal challenges and require coordination with relevant federal agencies like the DEA and HHS.#CannabisReform#TerryCole#DEANews#TrumpAdministration#PamBondi#CannabisRescheduling#DOJDecision#CannabisIndustry#DrugPolicy#CannabisWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Key Takeaways from Sen...     • Senate Banking, Cannab...     • Why Derek Maltz was na...     • Why Trump Won’t Sign E...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

Jushi has a strong presence in the Virginia medical cannabis market, leveraging its background to build a relationship with the Cannabis Control Authority (CCA). This relationship became even more significant with Cole's appointment, as he previously served as Virginia's Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security.Together, they have worked on initiatives to ensure safe and effective cannabis use in Virginia.With Terry Cole's appointment as head of the DEA, Attorney General Pam Bondi will work closely with Cole to ensure that the Department of Justice (DOJ) aligns with the President's priorities, ultimately making decisions that focus on the administration's agenda.

Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell are once again joined by Shane Pennington, Partner at Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, to talk about the ongoing ALJ Hearing related to rescheduling cannabis in the United States of America.We'll ask if there have been any updates, if the Trump administration could go for a direct ruling on the rescheduling of cannabis, and if so, what would need to happen in that scenario.Plus, Michael Bronstein, President of the American Trade Association for Cannabis & Hemp will join us again for our new weekly segment, Insider Edge, to talk about the latest news from Pennsylvania involving adult use cannabis within the state.News came out last week involving a Republican senator who supports marijuana legalization and said the governor’s latest cannabis proposal “undermines” the goals of the reform and has “no real path forward.”While Sen. Dan Laughlin (R) has long advocated for legalization, sponsoring bipartisan bills to end prohibition, he said on Wednesday that Gov. Josh Shapiro’s (D) budget proposal to enact the policy change is fundamentally flawed.Plus, Anthony & Shadd will discuss how a Republican lawmaker is hopeful that Congress will be able to get a marijuana banking bill across “the finish line” this session. At a hearing before the House Financial Services Committee on Thursday, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) raised the cannabis banking issue as members discussed broader concerns about claims of discriminatory debanking practices within financial institutions.“Sadly, we’re seeing that happen in other sectors,” the congressman said. “In nearly every state in the country, some form of marijuana is legal, but you see kind of a second tier of back door making it illegal by saying, ‘Oh, you’re not going to bank those people, are you?’” And finally, Anthony and Shadd will break down the biggest headlines in the cannabis industry for the day, including news about Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY)'s plans for the international market.Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Senate Banking, Cannabis Reform, and ...     • Why Derek Maltz was named Acting DEA ...     • Why Trump Won’t Sign Executive Order ...     • Will Trump Sign Executive Order for C...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?

Shadd Dales breaks down the biggest cannabis industry developments of the week. From major legislative moves to company earnings, there’s plenty to cover—so if you’re ready for a quick halftime break from the Super Bowl, we’ve got you covered.We will begin with the Senate Banking Committee, which held a pivotal hearing on debanking, closely watched by the cannabis industry. While the focus was on federally legal industries like crypto and firearms, cannabis stole the spotlight when Senator Thom Tillis remarked, ‘We’ve got the cannabis business. It’s illegal federally, but we should re-examine that.’ This rare bipartisan acknowledgment highlights the industry’s push for financial reform through the SAFER Banking Act.Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is one step closer to becoming Secretary of Health and Human Services, a role that could shape future cannabis-related health policies.On the corporate front, Aurora Cannabis reported a blockbuster Q3, with medical cannabis revenue surging 51% year-over-year to $68.1 million. International markets boomed, flipping Aurora from a $17 million loss to a $31 million net income. In contrast, Canopy Growth faced a 5% revenue drop, though cost-cutting efforts helped narrow losses.
