In this episode of The Cole Memo, we dig into the fallout from ABC7 Chicago’s latest report on the University of Illinois Chicago’s forensic testing lab. Flawed cannabis DUI testing has put thousands of convictions under scrutiny, raising serious questions about oversight and justice in Illinois. We also look at the ongoing debate around cannabis rescheduling at the federal level, including recent comments from President Trump and reactions from industry leaders and opponents alike. Plus, updates on the Texas hemp ban and another troubling Illinois cannabis raid highlight how prohibition still lingers despite legalization.
