Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell sit down with Big Mike Straumietis, founder and CEO of Advanced Nutrients, for a no-nonsense discussion about U.S. cannabis rescheduling, California’s enforcement chaos, and the future of global cannabis cultivation.Big Mike has been in the cannabis space since the late 1980s, witnessing the plant’s evolution from underground grows to a global multibillion-dollar industry. With U.S. rescheduling now closer than ever, he shares why this moment could be one of the most important turning points in cannabis history. We also dig into the ICE raids shaking California’s market, including the recent Glass House Brands (OTC: GLASF) raid that had the industry on edge. Are these isolated enforcement actions, or could they signal a wider federal crackdown just as the legal market struggles with pricing pressure and illicit competition?Then we zoom out globally. If the U.S. moves cannabis off Schedule I, how quickly will other countries follow? Big Mike shares insights from his global network—highlighting where momentum is building in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.Finally, we get into cultivation. Big Mike breaks down Advanced Nutrients’ 8th‑Generation product line, new sustainability protocols, and how AI-driven systems, vertical farming, and precision agriculture are shaping the future of cannabis cultivation.#BigMike #AdvancedNutrients #CannabisRescheduling #CaliforniaCannabis #GlassHouseBrands #CannabisInvesting #CannabisCultivation #TradeToBlack #ShaddDales #AnthonyVarrell #DutchieWant to see last week's recap? • Biggest Cannabis Developments This Week – ...
