Built by a former cannabis regulator, Policy, Decoded is your high-signal daily briefing for operators, investors, and policymakers navigating the collision of law, regulation, and business.
Today’s edition is brought to you by Pacaso and The Daily Upside, whose support helps us deliver independent policy intelligence to your inbox.
The world feels heavier this week, and that weight is impossible to ignore. We’ll keep doing what we do best here: decoding the policy shifts shaping cannabis, hemp, and adjacent markets while giving you clear, grounded signals in a noisy environment. Texas regulators move from political theater to executive order, New York cracks down on lab testing failures, Maryland courts redefine hemp legality, and Congress pushes NIH into real-world cannabis research.
⚖️ Abbott’s executive order redraws Texas hemp
🧪 New York fines labs over contaminated cannabis
⚖️ Maryland declares delta-8 “never legal”
Stay steady. Read what matters.
