2024’s Cannabis Highlights With The Holiday Lineup

By Shadd Dales On Dec 24, 2024

On our latest Trade To Black podcast, we have a special holiday lineup featuring key figures in the cannabis industry as we look at some of the highlights of 2024 before we head into the new year. This includes Jason Wild and Ziad Ghanem from TerrAscend; Don Murphy; Michael Bronstein, President of the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp (ATACH); and GUAP.

Don Murphy kicks off with reflections on the legislative setbacks of 2024, particularly the failure to pass the SAFE Banking Act. He criticizes Senate leadership, including Chuck Schumer, for delaying progress and suggested the need to start reforms in the House under Republican leadership in 2025. Murphy talks about Trump’s potential to support cannabis reform, including SAFE Banking and rescheduling, and stresses the importance of prioritizing incremental progress.

Jason Wild and Ziad Ghanem from TerrAscend (TSX: TSND) check in to wish everyone a happy holiday season and highlight the biggest takeaways in 2024 for the cannabis industry. Even though it has been a slow year for reforms and full of setbacks at the state level, Wild and Ghanem have some predictions about what to expect for cannabis stocks in 2025. Wild feels that Pennsylvania will be a key state next year, and both have some thoughts about hemp as a potential tool.

Michael Bronstein, President of the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp (ATACH), joins the discussion to discuss the importance of unity within the cannabis industry to achieve policy goals in 2025. Michael Bronstein is a leading figure in the cannabis industry, known for his strategic messaging and government affairs expertise. He has been actively involved in advocating for cannabis policy reform and working with the new administration to advance the interests of multi-state cannabis companies.

Don’t miss out on this holiday episode. Shadd, Anthony and Guap will be hanging out discussing the biggest highlights from the Trade To Black podcast over the past year. There’s a lot of potential, and plenty of reasons to be excited for the near future.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our fans!
