Cannabis Beats Booze, Hemp Bill #3, and Infused Pre-Rolls Win | This Week in Cannabis Live
Cultivated's Jay Rosenthal and Bryan Fields of The Dime Podcast break down the biggest cannabis stories of the week from the Chandelier Bar — well, almost.
This week: federal survey data officially confirms that more Americans use cannabis daily than drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes — a first in history. Jay and Bryan dig into what it means, the social media backlash, and why the Scott Galloway crowd needs to relax.
Then: Congress still can't agree on a hemp bill, so now there's a third one. Jay makes the case for why the November hemp ban is unlikely to go into effect — and why brands like LEVIA launching nationally right now are either very smart or very bold.
Plus: Total Wine's senior VP goes on record saying their THC customer "looks like their alcohol customer" — every demographic, 21 to 99.
Winners & Losers closes out the show, with Jay giving the W to infused pre-rolls, the one cannabis category actually holding its price in a market full of compression.
Hosted by Jay Rosenthal, Managing Director of Cultivated. Featuring Bryan Fields of The Dime Podcast.
Topics covered: Daily cannabis use stats · Hemp bill update · Total Wine & THC · Infused pre-roll pricing · DEA rescheduling · Retail strategy
