The Dime Trump, Texas SB3 & the Rescheduling Timeline: Jim Higdon on What Comes Next
Prohibition is dead — and Texas just proved it.
The recent SB3 vote signaled the start of something much bigger.
While hemp and cannabis operate in very different styles, both are ultimately pushing toward the same goal: a sensible framework for a one-plant solution.
The how? I’ll leave that to people way smarter than me.
But the genie is NOT going back in the bottle — and while speed and clarity aren’t often associated with Congress, we might see that sentence written sooner than expected.
This week, we sit down with Jim Higdon to discuss:
- The massive implications of Texas’ SB3 vote
- What signals to watch for from Trump
- What a “one-plant” solution could look like
