Chuck and Larry talk about some stuff.

Federal, nationwide legalization is a development that will potentially have a profound impact on the Humboldt cannabis industry. And while we've been hearing about its inevitability for a long time now, it remains uncertain when, or even if, it will ultimately happen. In our April edition, we took a look at the state of legalization in the US, both at the federal and state levels, and we took a special look at the legalization effort in Idaho, where advocates are facing especially aggressive opposition from the state legislature. Our guests were Jackee Winters of Kind Idaho and Russ Belville of the Idaho Citizens Coalition.

Cannabis businesses don't have access to many services other types of businesses enjoy. Banking is more difficult or impossible, interstate commerce is not allowed, and access to capital, such as small business loans, is limited or non-existent. Humboldt County government, together with the local cannabis industry, created Project Trellis in an attempt to remedy this imbalance. We spoke with Scott Adair and Peggy Murphy of the Humboldt County Office of Economic Development about Project Trellis.

Last year, the US House of Representatives passed the MORE Act, which lays out a framework according to which cannabis legalization at the federal level might occur. While the MORE Act has not yet been taken up by the Senate, it raises a host of issues that merit consideration as legalization measures proceed on Capital Hill. Our guest is Ross Gordon, who is Policy Director at the Humboldt County Growers Alliance.

In this episode, we took a look at the track and trace system, or METRC, that has been implemented in the regulated California cannabis market. Is it working? Is it necessary? Our guests included Joe Wynne from Sisu Extracts and Richard Parrott, Director of CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing, California Department of Food and Agriculture.

Our guest for the September edition of the Chronicles was Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal. We spoke with Sheriff Honsal about the Sheriff's Office's enforcement activities regarding non-permitted cannabis grows and related topics.
