In Episode 8 of "MC Talk with Bret Worley" special guests Bob Hoban and Philip Snow discuss the future of Hemp and Cannabis under the new administration.
- The recent Republican election victories are seen as positive for the cannabis/hemp industry, with expectations of policy shifts and potential rescheduling of marijuana.
- There is optimism about the possibility of rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, but concerns about how this would be implemented in practice.
- The need for the hemp and marijuana industries to find common ground and work together, rather than continuing to fight, is emphasized. The idea of a "one plant solution" is raised.
- Significant concerns are expressed about overly restrictive regulations, such as low THC/cannabinoid limits, that could stifle innovation and drive consumers back to the illicit market.
- The importance of meeting consumer demand and tolerances is highlighted, with examples of more favorable regulations negotiated in some states like Tennessee.
- The discussion also touches on the political dynamics in Florida and the potential impact of the governor's veto of restrictive hemp regulations.
