Trump Grants Clemency to Two Cannabis Offenders | TDR Cannabis in 5

President Trump has granted clemency to two more individuals serving federal sentences for marijuana-related offenses, and the timing lines up directly with the administration’s ongoing push on cannabis rescheduling. In this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, presented by FRE, host Shadd Dales breaks down reporting from Marijuana Moment on who was released and what it could signal.Trump commuted the sentences of Jerry Haymon IV, who received a 10-year mandatory minimum for a marijuana distribution conspiracy and had already spent years incarcerated, and Kevin Harden, who was serving 30 years and has dealt with serious medical conditions including multiple open-heart surgeries. Haymon’s case had previously drawn bipartisan attention, 36 members of Congress once urged President Biden to grant him clemency, citing his clean record and a judge who said mandatory minimums tied the court’s hands. Harden’s co-defendant already received clemency from Trump back in January 2021. Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson personally wrote to Trump supporting both applications, arguing it makes little sense for people to remain incarcerated for marijuana conduct while the federal government moves toward rescheduling it.There’s a bigger picture connection worth making here, Trump has now taken multiple cannabis-related clemency actions, including pardoning a former NFL player convicted of trafficking 175 pounds of marijuana earlier this year, all while the DEA’s rescheduling hearing has concluded and now sits with an administrative law judge ahead of a final decision from Administrator Terrence Cole. The episode asks the bigger question, is this the start of a broader clemency push, and what does it signal politically as the industry keeps waiting on Schedule III.#TDRCannabisIn5 #CannabisClemency #TrumpCannabis #CannabisRescheduling #ScheduleIII #MikeTyson #CannabisPolicy #CannabisNews #FederalCannabisPolicy #FRE #TrumpAdministrationWant to see last week's recap?🎬    • Hemp Ban Delayed, Rescheduling Still Waits...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • McConnell vs. Paul: Hemp’s Kentucky Divide...  🎬    • Trump Signs Bill Delaying Hemp THC Ban | T...  🎬    • Could Cannabis Reform Boost the GOP in Mid...  🎬    • Hemp Industry Gets a One-Month Lifeline | ...  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.
