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

Today's edition is sponsored by Norton Neo. Their support keeps these briefings free and focused on what actually matters.

The federal posture has changed for one slice of the cannabis economy and one slice only: state-licensed medical marijuana. Adult-use stays Schedule I. Hemp is a separate fight running on its own deadline. Treasury is moving first because 280E is where the dollar-value relief is. Agencies are reviewing. States are telling licensees to hold position. The White House is publicly engaged on hemp for the first time. Today's edition tracks the implementation problem the headline created, and the political economy it surfaced.
