Liner notes

This week are going down the Rabbit Hole! With the new Definition of Hemp that was introduced by congress the Continuing Resolution and Appropriations Package (H.R. 5371) and enacted into law on November 12, 2025 literally turning our industry upside down. Our #1 Sponsor James Bean Man on the scene from @seedsherenow_seed_bank and I Want Clones is definitely gonna be affected by this and a video titled “The Secret Hemp Loophole Nobody Saw coming”lead him to our guest this week. Tom Howard @cannabizindustrylawyer Tom has been recognized by both Leading Lawyers & Super Lawyers, quoted in the Wall Street Journal & Marijuana Business Magazine. He is a member of the NORML Legal Committee & a Certified Ganjier. In 2018 he started a blog, Cannabis Industry Lawyer, and in 2019 a podcast on cannabis business and policy and it became one of the fastest growing programs on the industry in the internet with tens of thousands of subscribers. His YouTubes have been viewed millions of times and the information he shares provides him with exposure to new clients and industry leaders who appear on the Cannabis Legalization News podcast available on all major providers and live streamed across social media from Linkedin to Youtube.
