Built by a former cannabis regulator, Policy, Decoded helps operators read the policy terrain before it shifts beneath their feet.

Monday through Friday, you get Quick Briefs: short, high-signal updates on the policy moves that matter. Sunday morning is the long-form take, written to read alongside your coffee and available in podcast form on Spotify. This week’s Sunday Brief takes on the uncomfortable truth behind intoxicating hemp. Congress drew the line in 2018. States inherited the consequences. Some chased headlines. Others built frameworks - testing, labeling, age gating, licensure, enforcement, and revenue to fund it. Now Washington is preparing to rewrite the definition in a way that could collapse those systems overnight. We walk through what states actually built, why consumers rewarded structure with sales, and why Congress should recognize demonstrated state capacity before pulling the rug out from under it.
