Greetings and salutations cannabis enthusiasts!
We are thrilled to welcome you to the latest installment of our monthly newsletter series, where we dive deep into the ever-evolving world of cannabis.
In this month's newsletter, I decode cannabis rescheduling, what it means, and the potential far reaching implications. I lay out some questions to contemplate and welcome your input. I’m in search of ideas. I invite skepticism, and I welcome the debate so we can all be informed, even if we disagree.
Also, Jason is speaking on a panel discussing how to manage employee relations and labor unions in cannabis. Be sure to register.

Prospecting and soliciting opinions in the cannabis space is the ultimate mental flex you can indulge in. And for once, the news we received about rescheduling was surprisingly unawful.
And trust me when I say that, three weeks after Bloomberg broke the initial story, I still think our collective future isn’t spoken for because this space and the people in it don’t necessarily share the same motive or the same voice. I wish it did, but it doesn’t, so qualifying a distinctive and specific future as either “good or bad” for all of us has limitations. And lest we forget, over the last 50 years, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of Justice have conducted five scheduling reviews of cannabis.
This is the first time we’ve broken through. In this moment, curiosity might be more beneficial than conspiracy. Let's dive in.
