#133 - The Future of Cannabis and Hemp

In this episode, I’m joined by two guests to explore the future of cannabis and hemp: Chris Fontes, CEO of Trojan Horse Cannabis and High Spirits Beverages, and returning guest Tom Howard, a cannabis attorney and legalization advocate.Chris and Tom cover the complexities of the current cannabis and hemp industries, examining how legislation, regulations, and market dynamics shape the sector. The discussion highlights the balance between ensuring consumer safety and reducing burdensome regulations, the challenges of limited licensing/open licensing, and the broader goal of cannabis normalization. Both guests stress the importance of collaboration between the hemp and marijuana industries to achieve fairer, more practical regulations, particularly as Congress and federal agencies prepare new rules.
