Here’s what changes when cannabis moves from Schedule I to Schedule III later today at 1:30pm ET.

Thanks to @GadiNBC and @NBCNewsNow for the conversation.

Alcohol kills roughly 4 to 5 times more people globally than all illegal drugs combined.

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

You’re only as strong as your weakest people in an organization. The trick is to have top tier talent and as few people as possible and you’ll move significantly faster.

People often assume more people = faster but this isn’t true.

Velocity in business matters because if you don’t have it you can’t compete. If you can’t compete, you die.

Cannabis is rescheduled!

[Acting AG Todd Blanche @DAGToddBlanche]

Under the decisive leadership of @POTUS, this Department of Justice is delivering on his promise to improve American healthcare. This includes:

• Immediately rescheduling FDA-approved marijuana and state-licensed marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule IIl

• Ordering a new, expedited hearing with set deadlines, to fully reschedule marijuana

These actions will enable more targeted, rigorous research into marijuana's safety and efficacy, expanding patients' access to treatments and empowering doctors to make better-informed healthcare decisions.

It would be great if they would stop making Opus shitty for everyone else but themselves! I can’t believe how dumb it has become since it first dropped. In the first few weeks Opus was absolutely incredible. It would barely make mistakes. It wrote incredibly solid code and made smart decisions. Now it’s lobotomized for everyone else but their own organization so the can use the compute for Mythos.

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

How big is the illicit cannabis industry?

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

@ItsJohnBender @TheDalesReport @FlowhubCo Thanks so much Mr. Bender.

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

@MitchGordon_ @TheDalesReport @FlowhubCo This is a great look. Street dealers don’t check ID’s. Regulated retailers do.

@saif305 Shipping hard

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

Just your daily reminder that cannabis should be federally legal or decriminalized.

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

There are plenty of good actors in hemp. Many of them are dear friends. I’m talking about the regulatory delta and the problems it causes at scale. There are no regulations at all in the hemp industry which leads to, unfortunately a plethora of bad actors, who risk the entire regulated cannabis industry and unregulated one. That hurts everybody, and most importantly the consumers.

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

Alcohol gets Super Bowl commercials, stadium sponsorships, and a century of positive propaganda telling you it’s how you celebrate, socialize, and unwind.

The alcohol industry spends $6 billion+ a year telling you drinking is normal.

Cannabis gets Reefer Madness, scare campaigns, scromiting, a Google ad ban, and shadow bans on social media. In fact, X is one of the few places you can openly talk about cannabis without getting banned.

One substance makes people more compliant. The other makes people question everything.

Guess which one the government spent 90 years trying to destroy?

Cannabis was criminalized because people who think for themselves are a lot harder to control than people who go numb and essentially dissociate.

Meanwhile, according to the CDC alcohol is responsible for killing 178,000 Americans per year.

According to the DEA, no one in recorded history has ever died from a cannabis overdose.

One is incredibly dangerous, yet so widely accepted that people don’t even see the positive propaganda anymore.
The other is incredibly safe, yet vilified. People will argue it’s a gateway drug, that teen use will skyrocket, that it should be highly illegal…and they’ll say all of that while holding a beer.

If you think this sounds like a conspiracy theory, go read the history.

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

Hemp-derived THC is largely the same thing as cannabis, but it’s unregulated, and there’s a plethora of bad actors who aren’t even selling real cannabinoids. Unregulated stores are selling 5,000mg edibles laced with synthetic cannabinoids to underage consumers. Those kids end up in the hospital, and then Laura Ingraham uses it on Fox as proof that cannabis should be entirely illegal. It’s a negative flywheel. I’ve spent more than a decade working to give consumers the opposite type of industry with safe access. The entire framework is a complete mess.

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

Meta platforms and Google are the biggest offenders.

YouTube will let you talk about cannabis but highly restricted.

We’ve had our social accounts shut down many times. Thankfully we know people at these companies who are able to reverse our disabled accounts. Others aren’t as lucky.

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

@RossADillon Totally!

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

@Chapicusromanus Is it a state licensed and regulated dispensary? Which state?

[Kyle Sherman @KyleSherman]

This is wildly misleading. The regulated cannabis market won’t even let a minor through the front door. IDs are checked multiple times, every sale is tracked, and dispensaries are more heavily regulated than bars and liquor stores.

If teens are accessing “weed” more easily, look at the synthetic hemp products being sold at gas stations with zero age verification thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. That’s not the regulated cannabis industry. That’s the unregulated market the government created by refusing to regulate hemp properly.

Don’t blame the regulated legal cannabis for a problem caused by the lack of regulation everywhere else.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Legalization of recreational marijuana by many states has made it easier for teens to get access to highly potent and convenient forms of the drug, creating new hazards for teen health.
