By Shadd Dales On Dec 31, 2024

Happy New Year, everyone! This past year has been full of significant moments in the cannabis industry, and we’ve been proud to cover them on both our YouTube channel and the Trade To Black podcast. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of 2024 that Trade To Black was privileged to cover:

Cannabis Rescheduling Conversations: We dove deep into the potential rescheduling of cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3. Leading voices from across the industry—policymakers, medical experts, and business leaders—shared their insights on how this change could impact research, regulation, and commerce.
Exclusive Guest Appearances: We hosted notable guests like Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Vice President-elect JD Vance, Senators Elizabeth Warren, Steve Daines, and Rand Paul, as well as Congressman Brian Mast. Their contributions provided valuable perspectives on cannabis reform and industry growth.
Trulieve Tax Refund: Early in the year, we discussed Trulieve’s success in securing a tax refund after amending their filings. This win provided actionable guidance for other MSOs seeking financial relief.
Germany’s Legalization Milestone: On April 1st, Germany legalized cannabis possession and cultivation, marking a huge step for the European market.
Kamala Harris on Rescheduling: Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the need for rescheduling cannabis during a roundtable discussion. While the administration made strides, action remains pending.
Safe Banking Act Challenges: We continued covering the ongoing hurdles for the Safe Banking Act, despite bipartisan support, and discussed its potential with lobbyist Don Murphy.

Thank you for your incredible support throughout 2024. Your engagement has been vital to our growth, and we couldn’t have done it without you. As we move into 2025, we’re excited to see how these developments will shape the future of the cannabis industry. Once again, thank you for being part of our journey through 2024, and stay tuned to The Dales Report and Trade to Black podcast for the latest updates.

Happy New Year, and here’s to an even better 2025!
