  • Really gone downhill.

    I used to really enjoy this podcast and recommend it to friends. Sadly the quality has gotten worse. Probably going to unsubscribe at this point especially after the other host left.

  • Great analogies

    The discussion around how data in the cannabis industry often causes more confusion than clarity when placed in the wrong hands. The analogy of a miscalibrated compass perfectly captures what I’ve seen over my entrepreneurial career:

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hirsh Jain: Rescheduling Is Already Picking Winners
Q: What exactly happened in April, and what did not happen?
Medical cannabis was rescheduled to Schedule 3, but adult-use remains Schedule 1; a separate hearing process is active to consider full rescheduling, with legal challenges ongoing.
Hirsh Jain: Rescheduling Is Already Picking Winners
Q: Hirsh, I want to start with the question I think a lot of people have. My dad asked me, didn't Trump reschedule cannabis?
The more nuanced reality is that the Trump administration moved to reschedule medical cannabis by bypassing routine procedures, while the full rescheduling process remains ongoing and contested in courts.
Why Ohio Cannabis Is Built Different: Inside the Regulator-Operator Alignment That's Actually Working ft. Caroline Henry
Q: Do you see opportunities to replicate Ohio's model in other states or is it truly an Ohio-only strategy?
There are opportunities to replicate the model elsewhere, but leadership and local regulatory structures vary; the key is expert teams focused on state-specific rules and adaptable playbooks rather than trying to transplant the entire model.
Why Ohio Cannabis Is Built Different: Inside the Regulator-Operator Alignment That's Actually Working ft. Caroline Henry
Q: Is there a specific example that comes to mind when you're telling that story?
A concrete example is removing impractical barriers like man traps in dispensaries and working with regulators to adjust rules that slow operations, achieving smoother daily functioning while maintaining safety.
Why Ohio Cannabis Is Built Different: Inside the Regulator-Operator Alignment That's Actually Working ft. Caroline Henry
Q: Can you explain what that means though? Just real quick, like what does kicking off adult use under medical mean?
Adult-use consumers can purchase under medical rules and products, with medical purchase limits and product categories, but they are treated as adult-use customers in dispensaries, enabling faster access while rules are still being refined.
