Marijuana Tomorrow

This week we look at the historic introduction of the eagerly awaited US Senate bill to federally legalize cannabis. How does this final version of the CAOA differ from the drafts that were previously circulated, and what does it mean for the prospects of gaining bipartisan support to move this bill into law? And then we'll look at one of the funniest stories of the summer, as Minnesota legislators made national headlines, when some of them claimed they legalized THC edibles, accidentally. But the truth is even more complicated and funnier than it seems.  We'll be discussing all those stories and more on the BEST cannabis podcast in the business...

This week we look at a closed door meeting held earlier this month of cannabis regulators, industry leaders and some advocates, as they attempt to strategize about a wide range of policy considerations from promoting equity in the industry, to interstate commerce, and preventing youth use, all while efforts continue in Congress to get a comprehensive bill that could get 60 votes in the Senate. And then we'll turn our attention to some more negative economic news from some major cannabis industry players and ask if a cannabis industry recession is ahead of us, or already upon us? We'll be discussing all those stories and more on the BEST cannabis podcast in the business...
