Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ATACH President Explains What Happens After Schedule III | Trade to Black
Q: What is the near-term outlook for feedback after the hearing, and could everything be finalized within 30 days?
The guest indicates that multiple moving parts exist and that while some indicators could point toward quicker feedback, it is not guaranteed that everything will be finalized within a strict 30-day window; the timing depends on ongoing regulatory and market developments.
The Stage Is Set For The Most Important Hearing In Cannabis History | TTB Presented by Flowhub
Q: And I'm curious to get your initial response, your initial reaction on seeing the itinerary, we'll call it, around the hearing.
Mike explains that the government is expected to defend the rule vigorously, views the hearing as historic and narrowly tailored, and notes that while the ALJ's findings aren't binding, they set the stage for potential future actions and legislative action.
What Needs To Happen For The CBD Pilot To Succeed | Trade to Black
Q: What is the biggest risk if the CBD pilot is poorly designed?
The biggest risk is generating bad evidence that undermines confidence in CBD, which could stall broader adoption across the healthcare system.
What Needs To Happen For The CBD Pilot To Succeed | Trade to Black
Q: Do you expect physician acceptance to accelerate once the FDA provides more guidance or rules around CBD?
Yes, it's likely to increase as formal guidance creates a clear framework for practice, products, and safety, prompting clinicians to adopt CBD with more confidence.
Dan Ahrens on MSOS Inflows, Uplisting Rumors and Psychedelics | TTB Presented by Flowhub
Q: So how are you preparing for this space and the potential regulatory shifts around psychedelics?
We are expanding the universe of psychedelic-focused holdings, including select acquisitions, and building a framework to assess regulatory timelines, listing opportunities, and clinical trials progress while maintaining a view on risk-adjusted returns.
