On this week's episode of Proud to Work in Cannabis, host Karson Humiston is joined by Jeremy Berke of Cultivated Media and Beau Whitney of WHITNEY ECONOMICS, LLC to talk about Schedule III and cannabis rescheduling – Here are the highlights:

1. Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode:

1. Normalization of Cannabis: The announcement from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III represents a significant shift in how the federal government views cannabis, marking the first substantive action towards normalization.
2. Economic Implications: Rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III could bring substantial economic benefits, including the removal of the burdensome 280E tax policy, potentially leading to increased profitability, job creation, lower prices for consumers, and higher tax revenues.
3. Investment Outlook: The rescheduling of cannabis may positively impact investor sentiment and private markets, but the level of investment will depend on DEA policy implementation and future regulatory developments, creating uncertainty about the industry's structure under the new classification.
