                <itunes:summary>In this episode of The Elevated News Podcast, we break down a rough week for the cannabis industry as The Cannabist Co files for bankruptcy and PharmaCann shuts down yet another facility, signaling deeper cracks in the legal weed market.

We dive into the latest Illinois medical cannabis sales numbers and why they appear to be dropping sharply, what’s really going on behind the scenes with dispensaries and MSOs, and how state policies may be shaping the future of the industry.

We also react to a brand new 24/7 drive-thru dispensary opening near St. Louis and discuss what that could mean for access, safety, and the normalization of cannabis.

Plus, My Bud Jon returns with product reviews comparing a high potency RSO to a more functional live resin cart, and Dave’s Cannabis Corner breaks down the fundamentals of cannabis use, including methods of ingestion, cannabinoids, and how to dial in your experience.

If you’re trying to understand where the cannabis industry is headed or how to use cannabis more effectively, this episode has you covered.

Tune in, stay informed, and as always… smoke weed every day.

                <itunes:summary>Illinois cannabis sales are down to start 2026 and the numbers are raising serious questions about the future of the market. This week, we break down what’s really going on behind the reported drop and what it means for businesses, consumers, and the industry moving forward.

We also dive into Ohio’s new restrictions on marijuana and hemp products, including bans that could push consumers back to the unregulated market, and a major Missouri court decision that could shake up cannabis licensing.

Plus, My Bud Jon reviews Grandpa’s Stash, and Dave’s Conditional Cannabis Corner explores how cannabis may help manage Parkinson’s disease.

If you want real cannabis news, honest takes, and practical insights, this episode is for you.

The key is mindful use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you care about cannabis policy, health, harm reduction, or the future of legalization, this is a must watch episode.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Timestamps:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;00:00 Tasty Intro&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;00:58 Introducing Dr. Amanda Reiman&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;02:42 Dr. Reiman’s backstory and cannabis activism&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10:43 Harms and risks in cannabis use&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;16:43 When cannabis may lead to harm&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;22:58 Tips for safer cannabis use&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;30:09 Condition treatment vs symptom relief&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;35:26 The state of cannabis research&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;44:20 What she is optimistic about in the next 5 years&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;55:21 Law enforcement, prohibition, and money&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;59:21 Critical thinking shoutout&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;01:01:19 www.MyPersonalPlants.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;01:03:02 Outro&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have ever wondered:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How much weed is too much?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can you actually overdose on THC?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is cannabis treating conditions or just symptoms?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What happens next for legalization?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This episode answers it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Drop a comment and tell us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you think cannabis is mostly medical, wellness, or recreational?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What does mindful use mean to you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subscribe for weekly Midwest cannabis news, culture, and policy breakdowns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch, like, share, and most importantly, think critically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow Dr. Amanda Reiman:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-reiman-phd-msw&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-reiman-phd-msw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.MyPersonalPlants.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.MyPersonalPlants.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌱 BuildASoil → &lt;a href=&#34;https://buildasoil.com/?ref=supportdopepeople&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://buildasoil.com/?ref=supportdopepeople&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use code SupportDopePeople for 5% off your order!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌿 The Green Gro → &lt;a href=&#34;https://thegreengro.com?sca_ref=4908674.J9aND9hTra&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://thegreengro.com?sca_ref=4908674.J9aND9hTra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use code TwoDopeDudes for 5% off!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;👕 &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.SupportDopePeople.com/store&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.SupportDopePeople.com/store&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; - grab a tee before they’re gone!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🐦 Two Dope Dudes on X → &lt;a href=&#34;https://x.com/twodopedudes&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://x.com/twodopedudes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;#Cannabis #Legalization #MedicalCannabis #THC #DrugPolicy #HarmReduction #TwoDopeDudes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.supportdopepeople.com</content:encoded>

                <itunes:summary>Cannabis sales are hitting record highs across the U.S., but new data and research reveal deeper issues shaping the industry’s future.

In this episode of The Elevated News Podcast, Two Dope Dudes break down cannabis sales numbers from Arkansas, Minnesota, Michigan, and Montana, including record medical sales, adult use market bottlenecks, and what billion dollar milestones really mean for consumers and operators.

The conversation also covers new research showing that cannabis sterilization and remediation do not fully remove toxic fungi, raising important consumer safety concerns. Plus, we examine the ATF’s move to loosen federal gun restrictions for cannabis users and what it could mean for Second Amendment rights.

The episode closes with Dave’s Conditional Cannabis Corner, focusing on cannabis math, absorption rates, dosing, and why cannabinoid ratios matter more than THC percentages.

A grounded, data driven look at cannabis policy, market trends, and smarter consumption.

                <itunes:summary>The cannabis industry is feeling the pressure heading into 2026.

In episode 123 of The Elevated News Podcast, Two Dope Dudes break down the growing regulatory, economic, and political strain reshaping cannabis and hemp across the United States. From tightening hemp rules to states questioning adult use markets, this conversation focuses on how policy decisions are squeezing consumers, patients, growers, and operators all at once.

We examine real state level changes including Wisconsin’s hemp safety initiative, Michigan’s hemp licensing overhaul, Hawaii’s hemp expansion, and repeal efforts emerging in places like Massachusetts and Arizona. We also cover Virginia’s slow path toward legal sales, shifts in Ohio, updates from Rhode Island and Delaware, and what these moves signal for the future of cannabis access.

Beyond headlines, this episode dives into deeper industry pressure points. THC based taxation, product recalls and recycling systems, medical versus adult use frameworks, and why standardization often creates more restriction instead of clarity.

We also discuss federal rescheduling, hemp reclassification, and how ongoing uncertainty is pushing states to make aggressive moves before 2026 arrives.

This episode is for anyone trying to understand where cannabis policy is really headed and how that pressure is building across the industry.

                <itunes:summary>Cannabis rescheduling is finally moving forward, but what does it really change and who actually benefits?

In this episode of The Elevated News Podcast, Two Dope Dudes break down the federal executive order to reschedule marijuana, explain what Schedule 3 actually means, and why this move could take months or even years to fully play out. We dig into the legal consequences, tax implications, medical access questions, and why rescheduling is not the same as legalization.

The conversation then shifts to Illinois, where regulators are proposing new dispensary location rules and expanding enforcement powers that raise serious concerns for operators, patients, and consumers. We also react to statements from major Illinois cannabis executives and separate hype from reality.

Plus, Dave’s Conditional Cannabis Corner focuses on using cannabinoids to support New Year’s resolutions like weight loss, fitness, and recovery in a practical and responsible way.

If you want real cannabis policy breakdowns without the spin, this episode is for you.

                <itunes:summary>In Episode 121 of The Elevated News Podcast, Two Dope Dudes break down the truth behind cannabis rescheduling and why the hype does not match reality. The guys explain what Schedule 3 would actually change, what it would not change, and why patients and operators should stay skeptical.

This episode covers major Illinois cannabis updates including IDFPR soliciting feedback on administrative rules and new restrictions on cannabis facility filming and media access. Aaron and Dave also discuss the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting a marijuana industry challenge to federal prohibition and what that decision signals for the future of interstate cannabis.

Medical marijuana expansion in the South is a major focus, with Alabama approving dispensary licenses and preparing for sales to begin in 2026. The conversation looks at access, licensing costs, and why Southern states are moving faster than parts of the Midwest.

In Dave’s Conditional Cannabis Corner, Dave explores cannabis as a neuroprotectant, breaking down the science behind cannabinoids, brain health, traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and why cannabis plays a role in neurological recovery and long term wellness.

Real cannabis news. No hype. No fear. Just perspective.

                <itunes:summary>In this episode of The Elevated News Podcast with Two Dope Dudes, Aaron and Dave break down one of the most pivotal weeks in cannabis policy in recent memory. Illinois cannabis sales have dropped sharply, the federal government has moved to ban intoxicating hemp products nationwide, and DOJ prosecutors are preparing to aggressively pursue cannabis possession charges on federal land once again.

The guys unpack what these changes mean for consumers, homegrowers, small businesses, and the Midwest cannabis community as a whole. They react to federal attorneys calling marijuana a “hazard,” discuss the political motives behind new enforcement measures, and connect the dots between shifting regulations, state revenue losses, and tightening control over the industry.

Plus, listener shoutouts, YouTube comment reactions, Herban Legends Cup winners, and Dave’s Conditional Cannabis Corner — this week focused on the powerful connection between cannabis, aerobic exercise, and long-term brain health.

Whether you&#39;re a grower, patient, advocate, or just trying to stay informed, this episode delivers essential context on the fast-changing cannabis landscape.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, the Two Dope Dudes discuss their journey of learning and growing in their podcasting venture. They talk about the initial challenges they faced and how they eventually gained control of the process. They emphasize the importance of not giving up and continuing to pursue their goals.</p><p><br></p><p>They also delve into the legal status of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) under the Controlled Substances Act. Attorney Shane Pennington requested clarification on the control status of THCA, and the District Attorney responded affirming that it is equivalent to Delta 9 THC. The conversation highlights the uncertainties and implications surrounding this issue.</p><p><br></p><p>Furthermore, they touch upon the impact of the new farm bill, which could ban the sale of marijuana seeds. This decision poses a problem for home growers who rely on the availability of seeds. The Dudes express concerns and discuss possible solutions.</p><p><br></p><p>In the latter part of the episode, they explore the intricacies of the legislative process.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, the Two Dope Dudes discuss their journey of learning and growing in their podcasting venture. They talk about the initial challenges they faced and how they eventually gained control of the process. They emphasize the importance of not giving up and continuing to pursue their goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They also delve into the legal status of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) under the Controlled Substances Act. Attorney Shane Pennington requested clarification on the control status of THCA, and the District Attorney responded affirming that it is equivalent to Delta 9 THC. The conversation highlights the uncertainties and implications surrounding this issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, they touch upon the impact of the new farm bill, which could ban the sale of marijuana seeds. This decision poses a problem for home growers who rely on the availability of seeds. The Dudes express concerns and discuss possible solutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the latter part of the episode, they explore the intricacies of the legislative process. They explain the concept of concurrence and the steps involved in passing a bill from the House to the Senate and eventually to the governor. They admit that understanding this process can be challenging but stress the importance of staying informed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The discussion concludes with the mention of House bill 4293, also known as the Hemp Consumer Products Act, passing in the Illinois Senate with a significant majority.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;___________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*Socials*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aaron’s Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.instagram.com/@lifeofguapo&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.instagram.com/@lifeofguapo&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave’s Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.instagram.com/@peaceloveandcope&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.instagram.com/@peaceloveandcope&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SupportDopePeople Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.instagram.com/@support_dope_people&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.instagram.com/@support_dope_people&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can request a FREE pack of slaps on &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.supportdopepeople.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.supportdopepeople.com&lt;/a&gt; by entering your email and mailing address.

Get ready for a roller coaster ride through the legal labyrinth, as they dissect Senate Bills 3940 and 3941, unraveling the intricacies of transporter licenses, market protections, and the potential merger of medical and adult-use dispensaries. #CannabisCulture #IllinoisCannabis #LawReform&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Key Highlights:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Proposed laws to establish consolidated transport centers for cannabis products, ensuring traceability and equal market access for all license types.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Removing excluded offenses as a barrier for cultivation center agents, dispensary agents, and caregivers, opening doors for those with prior convictions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Eliminating the distinction between medical and adult-use cannabis products, potentially allowing medical card holders to purchase from any dispensary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Discussions on market sustainability, product quality in dispensaries, and the need for dedicated spaces for consultative cannabis sales.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The episode also touches on current events, such as the lack of a disparity study from the state, hindering progress in crafting effective laws. The Dudes delve into thought-provoking conversations about community building, respecting intentions, and challenging societal norms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subscribe now and leave a comment to join the elevated discourse!

The hosts delve into the reasons behind this decision, discussing the intersection of business interests, public perception, and regulatory hurdles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join The Dudes in a lively discussion on these recent developments, offering insights, analysis, and a dash of humor. Whether you&amp;#39;re a seasoned cannabis connoisseur or just curious about the latest in marijuana legislation, this episode of &amp;#39;The Elevated News Podcast&amp;#39; has you covered. 🌿📰 #MarijuanaLaws #DEA #CannabisIndustry #ElevatedNewsPodcast #SupportDopePeople #CannabisLawUpdate #TwoDopeDudes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;___________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NEWS LINKS&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marijuanamoment.net/new-marijuana-laws-take-effect-in-multiple-states-affecting-workers-regulators-product-labeling-and-more/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.marijuanamoment.net/new-marijuana-laws-take-effect-in-multiple-states-affecting-workers-regulators-product-labeling-and-more/	&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-tells-congress-it-has-final-authority-on-marijuana-regardless-of-health-agencys-schedule-iii-recommendation/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-tells-congress-it-has-final-authority-on-marijuana-regardless-of-health-agencys-schedule-iii-recommendation/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.chicagotribune.com/marijuana/illinois/ct-illinois-marijuana-store-rainforest-cafe-pts-dropped-20240103-lknn5fzwnjajbcwnjckdwwuram-story.html&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.chicagotribune.com/marijuana/illinois/ct-illinois-marijuana-store-rainforest-cafe-pts-dropped-20240103-lknn5fzwnjajbcwnjckdwwuram-story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;___________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;**Socials**&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aaron’s Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/lifeofguapo&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/lifeofguapo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave’s Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/peaceloveandcope&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/peaceloveandcope&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SupportDopePeople Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/Support_Dope_People&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/Support_Dope_People&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can request a FREE pack of slaps on &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.supportdopepeople.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;www.supportdopepeople.com&lt;/a&gt; by entering your email and mailing address.
