Built by a former cannabis regulator, Policy, Decoded helps operators read the policy terrain before it shifts beneath their feet.
As we wrap 2025 and head into the New Year, the signs are coming into focus: hemp is headed toward tighter federal definitions, and marijuana rescheduling is moving deeper into federal process, litigation risk, and real-world compliance gaps. Today’s briefs track where the pressure lands first: banking, workplaces, research, taxes, and the state backlash cycle that follows every federal move.
Policy, Decoded is written daily by THC Group. If you need a former regulator and policy expert on your side, reply to this email and we will talk.
Today’s edition is supported by Mindstream and Finance Buzz. To sponsor Policy, Decoded and reach the executives, investors, and policymakers who read this briefing, reply to this email and we will send details.
