The biggest change to marijuana in America in nearly 60 years just happened, and weed is 'now' Schedule 3. After years of being caught in bureaucratic hell, it seems we are on the doorstep of seeing this amazing plant finally find it's place in society and shed the stigma that has dogged it for decades. But are there any tricks or landmines hidden in the small print? Does this change only apply to medical cannabis, or is everyone going to benefit from the improved tax structure? What really happened???

Join the Professor as he examines the new directions from the DEA concerning the future of cannabis and what factors are at play.

A Weed Shop is closed on Weed Day in three states. Does that make any sense? Isn't 420 about selling weed with sick deals and promos, or is it a day to observe for Marijuana Christmas? 

Is this a stroke of brilliant culture or a wishful business folly?

Join the Professor as he takes a closer look at multi-state operator Ethos dispensaries and their bold move to close on 4/20 and give employees a paid day off. Would you do it if you were in charge? Bold moves ahead, friends.

When's the last time you heard of a brand new cannabis product? What was the last time you felt excited, hype, and fully curious about something happening in weed that could take us to a new level?  What if I told you the Spaniards have pushed the limit of extraction and named it after an Italian word meaning 'flat'?

Join the Professor as he tells the story of Piatella, the Spanish extraction method that might just make the greatest cannabis extracts in the world. But to truly understand how good it can be, we need to take a peek into the 6-star rating system for hash and figure out exactly what no melt, half melt, and 'full melt' really means.

If you knew someone in a mental heath crisis, would you tell them to smoke weed? Does weed help stabilize a chaotic situation? Or does it shorten the fuse?

Join the Professor as he explores a story regarding the medical marijuana program from the United Kingdom. On one side, we have a family who lost a young brother and wants to see the regulations change in the UK program through Oliver's Law - and on the other side we have medical marijuana and Curaleaf...but are they at odds or is there a reasonable outcome possible? I'll let you decide.

Be well, and touch grass

Why are the Cannabis stocks jumping up nearly 50%? Are they finally going to legalize weed in the US? Or is this just another dog-whistle?

Last week, this administration said that we may see an executive order that reschedules cannabis and removes some of the restrictions.  Is this the path to legalization? Or is this just a small pit-stop on the road to some other crazy outcome?

Coming fresh off the Hemp Ban and MJ BizCon, join the professor as he explores the biggest breaking news in cannabis in 50 years and details what the difference is between rescheduling and going fully legal, and shares some of the voices feeding speculation.  

These are certainly interesting times...

The US Govt recently passed regulations to ban Hemp on November 12th, 2025. This could be a kill order an industry with 11 billion in annual sales, and it puts 320k jobs on the line. 

So why is Hemp in the sights on this administration? and why NOW?   

There is a lot of speculation that this could be the last nail in the coffin, but some think that this could also be the first step towards federal de-scheduling and legalization...a plot so crazy it just might work. 

It's been 1000 days since the last episode. Join the Professor as he comes out of retirement and explores the new regulations and what kind of impacts it may have on the industry and the consumer directly. Welcome back to the USCOCAN.
