Tyson Pushes Trump on Cannabis Reform | TDR Cannabis in 5
from The Dales Report | Trade to Black · host Dales Media Group
Mike Tyson is praising President Trump's decision to free two federal cannabis prisoners, but he's also making clear he hopes it's only the beginning. In this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, host Shadd Dales breaks down reporting from Marijuana Moment on Trump's commutation of Jerry Haymon IV and Kevin Harden's sentences, and Tyson's direct involvement in getting them there.Tyson didn't just react after the fact, he personally wrote a letter to Trump advocating for both men's clemency, arguing no one should lose decades of their life for nonviolent cannabis offenses. Haymon had received a 10-year mandatory minimum for a marijuana distribution conspiracy and had already drawn bipartisan support, 36 members of Congress once urged President Biden to grant him clemency, though Biden's broader marijuana pardons stopped short of covering distribution sentences. Harden's case was even more dramatic, he was serving a full 30-year federal sentence before Trump's action ended it.The episode connects this to the bigger picture unfolding in Washington, Attorney General Todd Blanche's order moving state-licensed medical cannabis to Schedule III, and the broader DEA rescheduling process now sitting with an administrative law judge ahead of a final decision from Administrator Terrence Cole. Tyson has increasingly positioned himself as a vocal advocate on both fronts, rescheduling and clemency, and the bigger question now is whether Haymon and Harden are isolated cases, or the start of something bigger from the Trump administration.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.
