Why Cannabis Companies Are Backing Trump | TDR Cannabis in 5

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

Cannabis companies are putting serious money behind federal reform—and Washington is paying attention.In the latest TDR Cannabis in 5, host Shadd Dales breaks down new federal campaign-finance records showing that major cannabis operators contributed a combined $11.5 million to America First Agriculture Action, a political action committee connected through its treasurer to Donald Trump’s main super PAC.The contributors included Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (NYSE: TRLV | CSE: TRUL | OTCQX: TCNNF), Curaleaf Holdings (TSX: CURA | OTCQX: CURLF) and Verano Holdings (Cboe Canada: VRNO | OTCQX: VRNOF), which each contributed $2.5 million.Vision Management Services, a subsidiary of Green Thumb Industries (CSE: GTII | OTCQX: GTBIF), also contributed $2.5 million. Arboretum Bidco, connected to AYR Wellness (CSE: AYR.A | OTCQX: AYRWF), added $1 million, while Ascend Wellness Holdings (CSE: AAWH.U | OTCQX: AAWH) contributed $500,000.What’s more interesting is the timing, and how the donations connect to the administration’s Schedule III push, and why cannabis companies appear ready to support whichever political infrastructure can finally deliver reform.After years of stalled banking legislation, continued 280E taxation and limited access to traditional capital markets, the industry is taking a more aggressive approach.The message coming from cannabis operators is becoming increasingly clear: stop waiting, engage directly and finish the job on federal reform.#Cannabis #CannabisReform #ScheduleIII #CannabisStocks #CannabisNews #FederalCannabis #280E #CannabisInvesting #Trump #CannabisReschedulingWant to see last week's recap?🎬    • The Political Fight for Cannabis Just Expl...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • The DEA Hearing Is Over. Now What? | TDR C...  🎬    • Are THC Drinks Replacing Alcohol? | TDR Ca...  🎬    • DEA Hearing Ends: What Happens Next? | TDR...  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.
