Is Trump quietly preparing to reschedule cannabis?
In this episode of Cannabis in 5, Shadd Dales breaks down recent revelations from top industry insiders and former DEA officials that point to a subtle but strategic shift in federal cannabis policy.
We start with a bold claim from James Hagedorn, CEO of Scotts Miracle-Gro. In a recent interview, Hagedorn says Donald Trump has privately committed multiple times to rescheduling cannabis under federal law. And that statement isn’t coming from an activist—it’s from a corporate executive with close ties to both the White House and the cannabis industry.
Then we unpack why DEA Administrator Terrance Cole didn’t mention cannabis rescheduling in his list of enforcement priorities—and why that silence might actually signal progress, not a setback.
Plus, we revisit a key conversation with former DEA Acting Administrator Derek Maltz, who warns that the real threat is not regulated weed—but the illicit high-THC market fueling mental health issues and organized crime. Maltz says rescheduling could actually help law enforcement, not hinder it.
This episode connects the dots between law and order, regulatory reform, and bipartisan momentum. If Trump moves on cannabis, it won’t be about winning votes—it will be about restoring control.
Rescheduling may be closer than people think—and it’s coming from the top.
