Episode 203 – The future of cannabis policy

On this Memorial Day episode of The Cole Memo, Cole is joined once again by cultivation consultant and cannabis industry veteran Dustin (aka Dusty) Shroyer for a deep, nuanced conversation about the evolving hemp and cannabis landscape. From the science behind THC testing to the market distortions caused by prohibition-era policies, the two unpack the promise and pitfalls of hemp policy, explore why rescheduling may not fix medical cannabis, and discuss practical solutions to ensure clean, safe, and equitable access for consumers and small growers alike. This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand the future of cannabis—and the messy intersection of policy, science, and commerce shaping it.
