Today on @higherexchanges, @MorganPaxhia and I are going to cover five hard questions that are on most of our minds.

@BryanFields24 So no change. Existing FDA approved cannabis drugs benefit from interstate commerce.

[Jesse Redmond @jesseredmond]

Assuming things stay on schedule, we are planning a special live @higherexchanges tomorrow at 3 PM EST with @MorganPaxhia, @anandastrategy, and @srg444 to digest the news.

Buckle up, weirdos.

@tomangell Double negative is a positive?

@jfberke You know the old saying, one wrong makes a right.

$MSOS ripping off this headline from a little bit ago

"President Trump is expected to push the government to significantly ease federal marijuana restrictions, treating the plant and its derivatives like common prescription painkillers and other drugs."

[Jesse Redmond @jesseredmond]

This is my dad, Mike. He’s 80 and lives with Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), the result of two devastating car accidents. He hasn’t been able to work since he was 48.

At one point, doctors had him on 1,000 mg of OxyContin a day just to manage the pain. The side effects were brutal. He became dependent quickly, and the medication still barely helped his pain.

Ten years ago, everything changed. He found a cannabis doctor, tapered off opioids completely, and now manages his pain with cannabis — safely, effectively, and without addiction.

Why am I sharing this? Because everyone in this country deserves access to the same option my dad had. It makes no sense that America freely prescribes highly addictive opioids but restricts access to the plant that helped him reclaim his life.

Will Schedule III help? Maybe. But what if you live in Nebraska or another prohibition state? In places like that, my dad would not have been able to make this transition.

Bottom line: It’s time to give all Americans open, legal access to cannabis.

As the 1991 Gatorade ad said, “Be like Mike.”

I want to respect the MJBiz event I spoke at, but when I was asked what cannabis looks like in 10 years:

• Demand leads Policy…always
• Consumption + Frequency continue to soar…still scratching surface with 1MM+ points of light available
• Vertical Integration --> Horizontal Specialization
• Cannabis Stages Stack...you'll see growth + decay at the same time

Saw some glimpses of that in Virginia this week. Bet on that continuing.

In 1993, the National Nutritional Foods Association, which was a dietary supplements assoc organized an event in retail stores to galvanize consumer support. It was called the Dietary Supplement Blackout Day. It worked!

[Patrick Rea @patrickrea]

The hemp industry is entering a new chapter and fighting for its regulatory survival. Hearing calls for self regulation reminds me of how Bill Bookout helped the National Animal Supplement Council raise standards and push out bad actors. https://t.co/LfLseOJD1N

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

$10 MILLION in public Medicaid money was stolen and laundered through Casey DeSantis’ Hope Florida charity to pay for political ads run by @AGJamesUthmeier.

Now key players are testifying before a grand jury.

NO ONE is above the law.
