November 20, 2024

In the latest episode of Strategies 64’s Weed Wonks podcast, Strategies 64’s Jordan Wellington speaks with David Culver, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs at the U.S. Cannabis Council, about the 2024 election, what it means for cannabis policy, and why there is reason to be optimistic despite the defeat of legalization initiatives in Florida and North and South Dakota.

They discuss how the Trump administration may handle cannabis policy, what can be done during a presidential transition to fertilize the ground for reform, and the odds of seeing some positive outcomes in the coming year. They also speak about how the industry can achieve incremental success and why those disappointed by how legalization fared in the election still have a reason to be cautiously optimistic.
