Back to Business: Navigating the 2026 Cannabis Frontier

Back to Business: Navigating the 2026 Cannabis Frontier

Author: Cannabis Radio February 4, 2026 Duration: 24:00

After a much-needed hiatus following eight years of consistent broadcasting, Blunt Business has returned in 2026 by reaffirming the show's commitment to raw, unfiltered industry commentary.

This "re-launch" episode marks a strategic shift as the program absorbs its companion series, Grassroots Marketing, to create a single, centralized home for long-form interviews and expert insights.

The discussion quickly moves to the critical news shaping the year, specifically analyzing the slow and uncertain process of rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III following an executive order by President Trump.

From the looming federal hemp ban extension to the cultural surge of THC-infused beverages during "High January," showcases how the industry is pivoting toward mainstream acceptance while still grappling with a dire need for better medical research and physician education

There’s a lot more to the cannabis industry than what grows in the field. Blunt Business, from Cannabis Radio, digs into the complex reality of building and running a company in this fast-moving space. We’re talking about the real work behind the scenes-supply chain logistics, regulatory hurdles, branding in a crowded market, and managing teams in a unique cultural environment.

You’ll hear candid roundtable discussions where strategies are debated, and interviews that get into the specifics of leadership and finance without the hype. This isn’t about advocacy or culture; it’s a practical look at the mechanics of a profitable, high-stakes business. Tune in for a podcast that cuts through the smoke and offers tangible insights you can apply, whether you’re an investor, a manager, or building your own venture from the ground up.
