About

What happens if cannabis legalization — or even federal rescheduling — ultimately fails?Nine months into the Trump presidency, the cannabis world is still waiting. The Biden administration’s recommendation to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III was supposed to change everything — eliminating the 280E tax burden, opening investment back up, and legitimizing an industry that’s been fighting for decades. But the longer Washington delays, the more investors, patients, and operators begin to doubt whether real reform will ever arrive.TDR Cannabis in Five presented by Dutchie examines the consequences if progress stalls again — from the financial fallout and shrinking margins under 280E, to the global risk of America falling behind Germany, Australia, and Latin America. Host Shadd Dales also explores how political hesitation could freeze social justice reforms and drain market confidence just as the industry stands on the edge of legitimacy.Because if reform doesn’t happen now, the question becomes — how much longer can the industry survive waiting?#CannabisNews #TrumpAdministration #CannabisReform #CannabisRescheduling #CannabisLegalization #TDRCannabisInFive #Dutchie #MorganAndMorgan #CannabisIndustry #CannabisPolitics #Schedule3 #280EWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Why Virginia Could Be the Next Big Cannabi...     • Marijuana Market Meltdown Michigan's Tax D...     • Republican Senators Push Trump Administrat...     • The Cannabis Gun Rights Ruling That Could ...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
