The Cannabis Brief: Cannabis Rescheduling & What This Means for Operators

In this episode of The Cannabis Brief, Hirsh Jain, founder of Ananda Strategy and VERDANT’s Director of Market Intelligence, breaks down cannabis rescheduling and what it actually means for operators on the ground.

Rather than headlines and speculation, the conversation focuses on real operational impacts — taxes, compliance, capital access, and strategic planning — and why rescheduling is not a shortcut to easy growth.

Produced by Verdant Strategies, this episode helps operators understand how to prepare for regulatory change with clarity, not hype.
