Manage episode 421680602 series 3529841
Ever wondered if THCA really qualifies as hemp? Get ready for a thrilling episode of Cannabis Legalization News as we unpack the DEA’s recent memo that reignites this contentious debate. We kick things off with viewer mail and the latest issue of Fat Nugs magazine, setting the stage for a lively discussion on the ever-evolving cannabis legislation. From the nuances of "gas station weed" to our ongoing rulemaking process, we’ve got a lot to cover. Plus, we’ve got a special shoutout to Farmer Tom for his invaluable contributions to the cannabis community.
Are federal lawmakers finally ready to overhaul medical marijuana policy? This episode brings you the latest from Capitol Hill, where there's momentum to allow VA doctors to recommend medical cannabis and end THC testing for federal job applicants. Reclassifying cannabis from a Schedule 1 substance could be the game-changer needed for nationwide medical cannabis access. Our guest, Cole, joins us to share insights from his podcast and draw some humorous real estate comparisons between states, shedding light on the stark contrast between past and present cannabis user experiences.
Florida and Illinois take the spotlight as we navigate through the complexities of state-level cannabis regulations. While Governor DeSantis's opposition impacts medical cannabis licensing and hemp regulation vetoes in Florida, Illinois's approach to hemp legislation presents its own set of challenges, especially for small businesses facing high regulatory compliance costs. From the arbitrary nature of dosage caps to the potential future of federal cannabis regulations, we explore it all. Join us as we contemplate the broader implications of cannabis scheduling, market dynamics, and the evolving industry landscape. Don't miss our heartfelt thank you to our supportive community for making our show possible.
