Illinois lawmakers held a major subject matter hearing on Senate Bill 20, a sweeping cannabis and hemp proposal that could reshape the Illinois market. In this episode, Cole breaks down the hearing in real time, covering proposed increases to possession limits, expanded dispensary hours, drive-thru sales, medical access changes, hemp regulation, and the ongoing debate over Illinois cannabis taxes. The hearing also featured testimony from state regulators, industry representatives, and lawmakers discussing why Illinois continues to struggle with competition from neighboring states like Michigan and Missouri. Cole reacts live to the discussion surrounding participation in the regulated market, the future of intoxicating hemp products, social equity licensing, and whether Illinois is making cannabis policy unnecessarily complicated.

Health Calls Season 6, Episode 16 highlights how health systems across the United States are expanding medication access through the nonprofit Dispensary of Hope. Host Brian Reardon speaks with Mike Wascovich, Vice President of Medication Management and Chief Pharmacy Officer at Ascension, about addressing one of the nation's most urgent challenges—prescription affordability. With as many as half of U.S. prescriptions going unfilled due to cost, the Dispensary of Hope connects donated medications from pharmaceutical partners to clinics and pharmacies serving vulnerable populations. Wascovich explains how the program has grown into a national network of more than 300 sites, helping patients manage chronic conditions like diabetes, asthma, and hypertension. By improving adherence, reducing hospitalizations, and cutting unnecessary waste, this collaborative model demonstrates how U.S. health care organizations can work together to lower costs, improve outcomes, and ensure patients receive the medications they need to heal.

Send us Fan MailCannabis lawyer Tom Howard explains that a new Justice Department final rule moving medical marijuana to Schedule III did not legalize marijuana broadly but created a DEA registration portal that could make state-licensed medical dispensaries more federally compliant than ever, while leaving adult-use sales tied to Schedule I enforcement risks. He outlines the DEA portal structure, $794 per-application fee, and key requirements, including drug codes, listing state licenses, suppliers, and all employees with access to controlled substances. Howard highlights a major liability question that effectively forces operators to disclose prior controlled-substance activity without DEA registration, raising Fifth Amendment and “trap” concerns, and notes the application window closes June 26 with expedited review within six months. He anticipates legal challenges alleging arbitrariness, ultra vires action, and post-Chevron limits, while urging operators to weigh filing now versus waiting.00:00 Hook: DEA portal opportunity or trap00:50 What the final rule changed01:20 Schedule III contradiction02:48 What operators need to know03:47 DEA registration process04:12 Application fee and warning06:02 Sponsor: Collateral Base08:33 Liability questions09:06 Fifth Amendment concern09:53 What happens next12:06 Closing CTASupport the showGet our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3VEn9vu

Send us Fan MailThe hosts discuss what they describe as a major bulletin that medical marijuana is now legal nationwide when compliant with state licensing, tying it to a DOJ executive action by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. treaty obligations that would require a government monopoly over medical cannabis. They react to 4/20, YouTube channels being yanked for on-air smoking, and update progress on opening their Pekin, Illinois dispensary while noting Illinois “social equity” status helped with licensing but not loans, creating urgent debt. They outline how rescheduling was split into two lanes, reference OLC reasoning under CSA 811(d), anticipate lawsuits and resumed hearings (June 29), and argue IRC 280E may be retrospectively disallowed around 2023. They also debate hemp loopholes, “full spectrum CBD,” checkpoints/transport issues, employment drug tests, home grow under state law, and emphasize freeing incarcerated people and building coherent cannabis rules.00:00 Medical Legalization Shock00:09 Show Intro and QR00:25 Illinois Dispensary Update01:18 420 and Channel Strikes02:28 Why Nothing Changed Yet03:01 DOJ Executive Action Deep Dive06:51 Treaty Monopoly Explained07:56 Farm Bill Hemp Loopholes09:14 Full Spectrum CBD Debate12:53 No Smoking and Creator Risks14:43 Rescheduling Precedent Talk16:51 Illinois Loan and Lawsuit Math22:17 280E Tax Fallout25:14 Hearing Restart June 2926:19 Checkpoints and Federalism27:20 Rescheduling Reality Check27:36 Interstate Transport Risks29:10 420 Culture and Protest31:42 Medical Model Expansion34:42 Hemp Loopholes and Safety38:47 Workplace and Drug Tests41:18 Policy Memos and Politics43:47 Homegrow and State Compliance50:55 Wrap Up and What's Next52:19 Sponsor Collateral BaseSupport the showGet our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3VEn9vu

In this episode of Kaya Cast, host Tommy Truong sits down with Andrew Bish, president of the Hemp Feed Coalition, to navigate the regulatory labyrinth facing industrial hemp and the broader cannabinoid space. Andrew shares his front-row view on how federal policy—especially the 0.4 mg THC cap and the farm bill's gaps—affects grain and fiber hemp, seed byproducts, and downstream products. They explore why Congress and federal agencies—from USDA to FDA—have struggled to create a practical regulatory pathway, the potential split between floral hemp and grain/fiber regulation, and what a realistic framework could look like. The conversation also covers White House actions and executive orders aimed at expanding CBD access, the politics of lobbying, and why industry unity matters more than ever. Importantly, Andrew emphasizes that his coalition is industrial hemp first and remains pro-cannabinoid, but that true progress will come from sensible rules that prioritize safety, testing, and rotational crops. Listeners will come away with a clearer view of what's at stake, how to engage lawmakers effectively, and what to expect as regulation moves forward.

On this episode of the Kaya Cast Podcast, host Tommy Truong sits down with Lucas Gould, co founder and CEO of Spendr, to unpack breaking cannabis news and what it means for operators across the country. They dive into the federal move to reschedule cannabis to Schedule III, its potential impact on medical vs recreational markets, banking, 280E tax relief, research funding, interstate commerce, and what rules might follow as the dust settles. Will state lines stay drawn or start to blur? How might federal oversight influence medical cannabis programs? Then the conversation shifts to Spendr, the cannabis payments and loyalty platform. Lucas explains how Spendr started to solve cash payments and has evolved into turning payments into a retention channel. Learn how end users sign up, fund a digital wallet, and pay with a tap or QR code in store, and how Spendr automatically retargets customers with personalized offers from the dispensaries they shop at. See how Spendr helps 200 plus locations in 13 markets drive loyalty, while being POS agnostic and revenue positive for merchants. The episode also covers growth, hiring, maintaining quality during rapid expansion, and the importance of brand, employee training, and exceptional customer experience in building lasting loyalty. Whether you're a dispensary operator, investor, or supplier, you'll come away with practical ideas to boost retention, streamline payments, and position your brand for a post regulatory change cannabis economy.

On this episode of the Kaya Cast, host Tommy Truong chats with Jeremy Berke, founder of Cultivated News, about turning a passionate cannabis beat into a full-fledged media platform. From launching Cultivated News from a Substack in 2023 to building a daily briefing, live streams, and a growing community, Jeremy shares the founder's journey, the emotional realities of leading a cannabis business, and how their coverage supports operators, brands, and investors. The conversation delves into New York's MRTA rollout, the tension between social equity goals and heavy regulation, and the ripple effects on dispensaries and service providers. They unpack federal hemp policy chaos, including the looming hemp-derived THC ban and what it means for products, retail, and capital. The episode also surveys state-level dynamics—from Florida ballot efforts to Pennsylvania and Virginia—and offers practical takeaways for navigating policy uncertainty, capital access, and growth in a volatile market. Jeremy also offers personal reflections on staying even-keeled as a founder and why compliance and quality matter.
