    She Blaze S7 Ep. 15 - Fed Hemp Ban Looms

    Fed Hemp Ban Looms Season 7 Part 2 kicks off with a packed lineup. We start in Arizona, where a cannabis testing lab has racked up over a year of regulatory violations — including a THC dilution problem and pesticide failures — and somehow is still operating. We ask the question everyone's thinking: why hasn't it been shut down? Next, we head to Florida, where new proposed rules would ban celebrity-backed cannabis products and further restrict advertising, all while the state's $2 billion medical cannabis industry is in serious decline. Then, the Aurora Cannabis vs. Curaleaf beef gets a full breakdown, including Aurora's controversial 2018 securities class action settlement. Our main topic this week: the federal hemp ban set for November 12 is being delayed — but what does that actually mean for the industry? We dig into the carve-out for synthetic cannabinoids, the bipartisan push to regulate (not ban) hemp THC products, and what businesses should be doing right now to prepare. 📰 Sources: MJBizDaily — Arizona Testing Lab: https://mjbizdaily.com/news/report-arizona-cannabis-testing-lab-keeps-breaking-rules-but-stays-open/617927/ MJBizDaily — Florida Celebrity Endorsement Ban: https://mjbizdaily.com/news/florida-moves-to-ban-celebrity-endorsements-in-mmj-marketing-revamp/617915/ Yahoo Finance Canada — Aurora Cannabis Shareholder Update: https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/aurora-cannabis-urges-shareholders-reject-125108854.html Curaleaf IR — Take-Over Bid Announcement: https://ir.curaleaf.com/2026-08-18-Curaleaf-Launches-Take-Over-Bid-to-Acquire-Aurora-Cannabis,-Invites-Aurora-Shareholders-to-Tender-to-the-Bid Cannabis Business Times — Curaleaf Responds to Aurora Circular: https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/business-issues-benchmarks/mergers-and-acquisitions/news/15834014/curaleaf-responds-to-aurora-circular-reaffirms-offer-as-best-path-to-value-creation-for-shareholders Marijuana Moment — Federal Hemp Ban Delay: https://www.marijuanamoment.net/bipartisan-lawmakers-turn-focus-to-regulating-hemp-thc-products-now-that-a-federal-ban-is-being-delayed/ 🎧 New episodes every week.

    She Blaze S7 Ep 12 . The Marijuana Industry Is Actively Changing

    Cannabis Industry Is Actively Changing This week on She Blaze, we're getting into three major stories shaking up the cannabis industry. First, Massachusetts regulators are officially auditing THC potency labels — we break down what "compliant" actually means and what happens if your product fails. Then we head to Oklahoma, where medical cannabis manufacturers and distributors will now be required to register with the DEA to keep their state licenses — we get into why this could be a dangerous precedent. Finally, Trulieve just made history as the first U.S. cannabis company to list on the NYSE. We talk through the Nasdaq vs. NYSE difference, why this listing is such a big deal, and how Trulieve pulled it off with a clever corporate restructuring move. 📰 Sources: MJBizDaily — Massachusetts THC Inflation Checks: https://mjbizdaily.com/news/massachusetts-cannabis-regulators-to-begin-thc-potency-inflation-checks/616148/ RTTNews — Oklahoma DEA Registration Requirement: https://www.rttnews.com/3652363/oklahoma-requires-dea-registration-for-medical-cannabis-manufacturers-and-distributors.aspx?refresh=1 Yahoo Finance — Trulieve NYSE Listing: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/trulieve-become-first-u-cannabis-195203811.html 🎧 New episodes every week.
