Break The Cypher

In this episode of Break The Cypher, we connect the dots between a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and a small-town cannabis fight in Telluride. The 2024 repeal of Chevron Deference means courts — not agencies — must now interpret vague laws. For Alpine Wellness, that shift could change everything. 👉 Cannabis businesses are forced to incriminate themselves just to stay licensed.👉 Telluride ignores motions, withholds records, and even scrubs objections from the record. 👉 A federal precedent, Leary v. United States, ruled that forcing self-incrimination violates the Constitution — yet the same trap remains today. With Chevron gone, agency overreach faces new scrutiny under the Constitution. This isn’t just about cannabis — it’s about silence, power, and the fight for due process. 🎙️ Tune in as Emerson and Mike unpack how Alpine’s battle reveals a constitutional loop that affects businesses everywhere. 🔗 Support the show & join the conversation at breakthecypher.com #BreakTheCypher #CannabisNews #Telluride #AlpineWellness #DueProcess #ChevronDeference #OnTheBus #OffTheBus #KenKesey #MerryPranksters #ElectricKoolAidAcidTest #FurthurBus #Counterculture

In this episode of Break The Cypher, we dig into the Alpine Wellness battle with the Town of Telluride — a case that exposes what happens when due process is denied. 👉 A hearing officer acting as judge vanishes from the town’s website. 👉 Motions, objections, and constitutional arguments are erased from the record. 👉 The town applies double standards and silence instead of law. Alpine Wellness refuses to play along — filing under protest and pushing the fight into court. This isn’t just about cannabis. It’s about rights, fairness, and government accountability. 🎙️ Tune in as Emerson and Mike unpack how one small-town case speaks volumes about the bigger picture in the cannabis industry. #BreakTheCypher #CannabisNews #Telluride #AlpineWellness #DueProcess

Before stepping into Round 4 of the Alpine v. Telluride saga, Emerson and Mike riff on the week’s madness: San Francisco self-driving cars, gentrification on fast-forward, the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary, and what it feels like when a robot Uber makes you feel safer than a human one. Then — the wall comes down. Rescheduling marijuana is suddenly back on the White House radar, cannabis stocks surge, and the infamous 280E tax code sits in the crosshairs. Meanwhile in Telluride, Alpine Wellness makes a shocking move: surrendering its license under protest to keep the case alive. And in a 4th wall break, Mike reveals it’s not just any case — it’s his. This episode unpacks the lobbyists, the loopholes, and the local government overreach that pushed Alpine to the edge. It’s rights, retaliation, and rescheduling colliding in real time. 🎧 When the storytellers become the story — tune in.

Before diving into Round 3 of the Alpine v. Telluride saga, Mike and Emerson take you down the rabbit hole of this week’s madness: a Coldplay kiss-cam scandal, Epstein file hypocrisy, ICE’s hidden army, Metrc’s dirty secret, and where the hell $75 billion in ICE funding is really going.Then — back to business. Fires rage across Colorado, a team member is airlifted to the ICU, and Alpine Wellness is handed a 3-day deadline to produce IRS documents… after months of municipal silence. This episode breaks it all down: the procedural failure, the emergency, the response — and the filing that came in ten minutes before the buzzer.🎧 It's court drama meets cultural chaos.

🎙️ EPISODE 1 – “The Question” | Break the Cypher In our debut episode, we break down the battle between Alpine Wellness and the Town of Telluride — a local licensing showdown with national consequences. Why is a Colorado cannabis business being threatened over a question that doesn’t exist in the law? Why is Telluride demanding answers about “federal tax default” when even the state doesn’t require it? And what happens when following the law puts you in legal jeopardy? This isn’t just a cannabis story. It’s a constitutional one. From threatened shutdowns to rogue Lawyers and an ignored, disappearing motion, we track the escalation that brought Alpine to the brink — and why the May 29 hearing may be a turning point for cannabis justice in America. 👉 Hosted by Mike & Emerson. 🎧 Subscribe + Follow for deep dives every week.
