In our latest Trade to Black podcast, presented by FRE, hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell kick things off with the latest on Curaleaf's (TSX: CURA) hostile bid to acquire Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ: ACB). Curaleaf has sweetened its offer to approximately $5 per Aurora share, made up of 0.4013 Curaleaf shares plus $1 in cash based on its October 2nd closing price, up from its original summer offer of $4 per share. Curaleaf says the increase signals good-faith negotiation after Aurora's board rejected its earlier approach and urged shareholders to do the same.In segment two, Will Muecke, Co-Founder and Managing Member of Artemis Partners, joins to break down the Global Cannabis Regulatory Summit's newly published 2026 white paper collection, the formal record of a London gathering spanning nearly 30 countries and 20 regulatory jurisdictions. The paper argues the legalization debate is essentially over where it matters, and the real fight now is implementation, building shared technical standards, market responsibility frameworks, and cross-border regulatory alignment. It digs into a sobering standards survey where more than 90% of responses rated current global standards yellow or red, the economics of over-drying flower, the rescheduling chapter's seven-point MSO playbook, and why Europe's pharmacy-channel markets may be better positioned for international trade than most U.S. state programs.In our final segment, Michael Bronstein, President of the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp, returns for his weekly Insiders Edge segment to break down the latest out of Washington on the rescheduling stay, including his read on whether ALJ Derek Julius will ultimately admit the GAO report into the hearing record. DEA has until Tuesday, October 13th to file its response, up to 20 pages, on whether that report should be added.Like, subscribe, and leave your comments!#TradeToBlack #Curaleaf #AuroraCannabis #CannabisMA #GlobalCannabisSummit #CannabisRescheduling #ScheduleIII #MichaelBronstein #CannabisPolicy #CannabisNews #CannabisStocks #Weed #CannabisWant to see last week's recap?🎬 • Rescheduling Pauses, 280E Moves Forward | ...
