The Political Fight for Cannabis Just Exploded | TTB Weekly Recap

from The Dales Report | Trade to Black · host Dales Media Group

Washington’s fight over cannabis reform intensified this week as Senate Democrats revived full federal legalization immediately after the DEA’s historic rescheduling hearing concluded.In the latest Trade To Black Weekly Recap presented by FRE, host Shadd Dales breaks down why the timing of the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act appears aimed as much at the midterm elections as passing legislation—and how political competition could increase pressure on the Trump administration to finalize Schedule III.The episode also reviews the ALJ hearing record, where the federal government strongly defended rescheduling while several opposition witnesses struggled to challenge the scientific and legal case for moving marijuana to Schedule III.Beyond Washington, the federal hemp industry is approaching a November 12 deadline that could remove most intoxicating hemp products from the legal market. Carriers, payment processors and e-commerce platforms may begin restricting businesses before the law officially changes.In psychedelics, a major acquisition was announced this week. Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) agreed to acquire AtaiBeckley (NASDAQ: ATAI) in a deal valued at approximately $2.8 billion. The acquisition also places greater attention on Compass Pathways (NASDAQ: CMPS) and Definium Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DFTX) as major independent psychedelic developers. In cannabis, Curaleaf (TSX: CURA | OTCQX: CURLF) and Cannara Biotech (TSX: LOVE | OTCQX: LOVFF), entered into an agreement, plus a new wellness product from MariMed (CSE: MRMD | OTCQX: MRMD) and a customer-acquisition campaign from Tilray Brands (NASDAQ: TLRY | TSX: TLRY) through BrewDog.
