Cannabis and the Future of Federal Policy with Jim Higdon

Cannabis policy is changing fast—but where is it actually headed? In this episode, Ryan sits down with Jim Higdon, co-founder of Cornbread Hemp and author of The Cornbread Mafia, for a timely conversation about the future of cannabis and hemp in America. Jim breaks down the fight unfolding in Washington over hemp, why he believes Schedule III is an important step but descheduling must ultimately be the goal, and how cannabis could eventually be regulated and distributed more like alcohol. They also explore a potentially transformative development: the emerging pathway for Medicare and private insurance reimbursement of cannabinoid products—and what it could someday mean for patients purchasing medical cannabis with a copay. Plus, Jim shares his perspective on banking reform, interstate commerce, building successful cannabis brands, and what businesses and consumers should be watching as federal policy enters a pivotal new chapter.

Cannabis as an Amplifier: Why the same Cannabis Doesn't Feel the Same Every Time!

Have you ever used the exact same cannabis strain twice and had two completely different experiences? In this week's episode, Ryan explores one of the biggest mysteries in cannabis: why the same flower can feel completely different from one session to the next. Discover how your mood, sleep, stress, environment, expectations, attention, and daily rituals may influence your experience just as much as the strain itself. From the science of the nervous system to the power of nature, novelty, and mindful consumption, this episode challenges the idea that cannabis alone creates the experience—and instead suggests that it may simply amplify the moment you're already living. If you've ever wondered how to get more consistent, intentional, and meaningful results from cannabis, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
