Podcast: The Latest On Cannabis Trends - Ohio's Leap, Colombia's Hold, Farm Bill Clash & D9 THC Debate

Back from a break in The Hoban Minute's podcast studio, Bob and Xavier jump right back into the swing of reporting on important news stories in the cannabis industry.

First, they discuss their experience in Las Vegas for “weed week,” also known as MJBizCon, including covering post-conference feedback and how conference organizers may be able to bolster the value of the conference in the future.

After wrapping up their recap, Bob and Xavier move to cover recent headline news in the industry: Ohio’s legalization vote, Colombia deciding to shelve legalization efforts for the moment, and a discussion of the Farm Bill being extended another year, including a conversation about recent “controversies” between hemp and marijuana operators. Finally, Bob and Xavier generally discuss cannabis beverages and their impact on the current market and how they will continue to be a leading product form in the next decade.

The main message? D9 THC is D9 THC – regardless of whether it came from a plant legally defined as “hemp” or “marijuana.”
