    She Blaze S7 Ep. 7 ~ Rescheduling Deep Dive

    🎙️ New Episode Alert! | She Blaze S7 Ep. 7 — "Did the Trump Administration Really Just Reschedule Cannabis?" We got questions — and we're going ALL the way in. 🌿 This week Ice Dawson & Dasheeda Dawson (@TheWeedHead) are breaking down everything you need to know about cannabis rescheduling — no fluff, just facts: Main Topic 1: ⚠️ What Rescheduling Does NOT Change — Cannabis remains federally illegal for possession in states where it is still prohibited. Rescheduling alone does not free anyone. Advocates are calling on Trump to pair this move with clemency. https://hightimes.com/activism/rescheduling-doesnt-free-anyone-advocates-are-calling-on-trump-to-add-clemency/ Main Topic 2: 💰 Big Money is Moving — MSOs and pharmaceutical companies were front and center when the DOJ made its announcement. Now the cannabis industry is pushing the IRS for major tax relief. The Treasury Dept. & IRS have confirmed that guidance is coming — and it could mean significant positive tax consequences for businesses in the medical marijuana space. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/feds-announce-marijuana-industry-tax-guidance-is-coming-as-rescheduling-takes-effect/ Main Topic 3: 🧾 What About 280E? — New IRS guidance is expected to clarify how the controversial tax code applies to businesses operating in both medical and adult-use markets. This is a big deal for multi-state operators. Main Topic 4: 🛒 Adult Use & Hemp Markets — Will the DEA and FDA now have regulatory power over the adult-use market? Will license holders face new DEA fees? We're asking the hard questions. Main Topic 5: 🌱 What Does This Mean for Consumers? — Will medical-only states like Alabama, Georgia & Idaho see higher THC limits? Will the financial "sin" penalties on legal cannabis finally be lifted? We dig into it all. 📌 Want the full background? Revisit S7 Ep. 2 where we broke down the Congressional Research report — we saw this coming. 🎧 Listen & Watch Now: 🔴 YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/c/Theweedhead 🟢 Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2kBofP2v0MarSUOSuK1XlC 🎵 Apple Podcasts ► theweedhead.com/she-blaze #SheBlaze #CannabisRescheduling #Cannabis #TrumpAdministration #280E #CannabisNews #WeedHead #Podcast #MedicalMarijuana #HempIndustry #CannabisCommunity

    She Blaze | S7 Ep. 4 ~ Medical Markets Navigating The Industry

    Medical markets are heating up — and your girls She Blaze are HERE for all of it. This week Ice Dawson & Dasheeda Dawson are sitting down on the state of medical marijuana in 2026, and the news is giving us a LOT to work with. Hot Topic 1 ► 🚒 MARYLAND just passed a bill that would protect firefighters and rescue workers who use medical cannabis on their own time — employers can't penalize them for it. The governor just needs to sign. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/maryland-lawmakers-pass-bill-to-protect-firefighters-and-rescue-workers-who-use-medical-marijuana-off-duty/ Hot Topic 2 ►🏥 COLORADO's governor signed a law allowing terminally ill patients to use medical marijuana in hospitals and health facilities. Because the difference between a patient being present with their family or heavily sedated in their final days? That matters. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/colorado-governor-signs-bill-to-allow-medical-marijuana-use-in-hospitals-but-criticizes-amendment-letting-facilities-opt-out/ Hot Topic 3 ► 💊 THE FEDS quietly launched a program on April 1st allowing certain Medicare models to reimburse hemp CBD and THC products — up to $500 a year. There are rules. There are restrictions. And anti-cannabis groups? Already in court trying to shut it down. https://www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/substance-access-beneficiary-engagement-incentive https://www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/substance-access-beneficiary-engagement-incentive 📉 MAIN TOPIC: The medical marijuana patient population is shrinking — even as more states legalize. We're breaking down the top 3 reasons why, and what it's going to take to fix it. From regulation. From business. And from the patient side. Nobody does cannabis news like She Blaze.
