While this podcast never constitutes legal advice, the legality of THCA flower is a particularly nuanced topic that requires Bob and Xavier to describe and analyze both botanic and legal topics so we want to remind our listeners that this podcast is not legal advice. Reach out to a licensed and knowledgeable attorney for legal advice specific to your circumstances. Bob’s 5 part series on hemp and marijuana can be read on his Forbes page here.
In the second episode of 2024, Bob and Xavier jump into the podcast booth with cannabis industry attorney, Thomas Howard to discuss their predictions for the industry in 2024.

The conversation covers several topics ranging from federal to state markets, the continued emergence of the hemp-derived cannabinoid industry, the impact a Schedule III move might have on the existing cannabis industry, the “dog fight” that will be the 2024 election – and how cannabis will be an important topic for all parties, and how capital relief needs to found quickly for the current industry to survive.

In their annual holiday recap episode, Bob and Xavier reflect on top headline news from the cannabis industry in 2023. They start with the HHS recommendation to move marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, including a discussion of the impact rescheduling would have on the industry.
Hint: DESCHEDULE OR BUST is not a realistic approach to getting meaningful change at the federal level. Bob and Xavier then pivot to discuss state-level headlines regarding new medical and adult-use marijuana markets and intoxicating hemp derivative regulations.
They provide an analysis as to the future of the market and how the marijuana and hemp industries are on a collision course with each other. They also cover one of the largest state-specific stories of 2023: the collapse of HERBL in California and how that is indicative of greater issues with collections and payments in the industry generally. Finally, Bob and Xavier discuss testing fraud issues and how they will impact regulating the cannabis industry moving forward. See you in 2024!
