Pete Sessions: Cannabis Makes You A Loser | TDR Cannabis in 5

In the latest TDR Cannabis in Five, host Shadd Dales takes a closer look at comments made by Congressman Pete Sessions during a recent House Rules Committee hearing after he claimed that “using marijuana will make you a loser in life.”The remarks quickly drew attention across the cannabis industry and reignited a familiar debate around cannabis stigma, federal reform, and whether some lawmakers are still relying on decades-old narratives despite significant changes in public opinion and scientific research.Shadd breaks down what Congressman Sessions said, why the comments have generated criticism, and how they compare to today’s cannabis landscape. The episode also looks at Sessions’ long history of opposing cannabis reform, including his previous role on the House Rules Committee, where he repeatedly blocked cannabis-related amendments from reaching the House floor.The conversation also examines whether there is any evidence linking Sessions’ position to alcohol industry donations, using publicly available campaign finance records, and discusses why that narrative doesn’t appear to hold up.As more than half the country now operates legal cannabis programs and millions of Americans use cannabis medically or recreationally under state law, the debate continues over whether Washington’s approach reflects today’s reality.#Cannabis #CannabisNews #CannabisReform #Marijuana #MarijuanaNews #FederalCannabis #CannabisPolicy #CannabisIndustry #CannabisStocks #Cannabis #MarijuanaWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • What This Cannabis Poll Really Tells Us | ...  🎬    • Treasury Takes Center Stage | TDR Cannabis...  🎬    • Inside SAM’s ALJ Testimony | TDR Cannabis ...  🎬    • Cannabis Banking Back In Focus | TDR Canna...  Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Instagram:   / dalesreport  ✅ LinkedIn:   / the-dales-report  Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradetoBlackon...Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradeToBlackon...Website: https://thedalesreport.com/For copyright matters, contact:[email protected] Disclaimer (Financial Interests)The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any company, organization, or employer.
