Had a great time discussing the evolving cannabis landscape with my partner Jordan Tritt. Thank you Jay Rosenthal and Cultivated Media for a thoughtful and meaningful conversation.

MJBizDaily asked Panther COO Michael Teller what rescheduling would look like post-election. Michael offered a singular perspective that neither candidate would be 'better’ for the cannabis industry, but rather, each has differing political motivations for the inevitable declassification of cannabis—Democrats and Republicans alike. Although only Teller's quote regarding Trump's potential position was used, he offered MJBiz a perspective on VP Harris, which was not used in the story.?See Teller’s quote below: ‘Historically, Harris has been anti-cannabis and as Attorney General, she was responsible for imprisoning over 1,500 people in California. However, her party has become very pro-cannabis, viewing it as a way to connect with younger voters and their base. Under Harris’ administration, rescheduling and ultimately SAFE Banking are expected.’ You can check out the full story below:?https://lnkd.in/enTJWu9P?
