The Cole Memo
Cole is joined by cannabis advocates Brian Dombrowski and Annie Romelfanger for a spirited conversation about hemp, medical cannabis, federal decriminalization, and the increasingly blurry distinction between "hemp" and "marijuana." They discuss the impact of the 2018 Farm Bill, THCA flower, synthetic and converted cannabinoids, industrial hemp, medical cannabis, and whether the industry needs clearer definitions or fewer of them altogether. Later, Brian sticks around to discuss the latest federal effort to delay restrictions on hemp products, what regulations could come next, and developments in Texas and Illinois. Miggy and Guap also join the conversation to discuss cannabis access, medical programs, dosage limits, consumer protections, and what a truly descheduled cannabis market might eventually look like.

The Cole Memo
Independent candidate for Illinois governor Collin Corbett joins The Cole Memo to discuss why he is running outside the two major parties, the challenges independent candidates face, and how he believes an independent governor could work with lawmakers in Springfield. Corbett also shares his positions on Illinois cannabis policy and home grow, government transparency and ethics reform, campaign finance, affordability and property taxes, mass surveillance and privacy, DCFS, and his broader effort to build an independent political movement in Illinois.

The Cole Memo
Phil returns to The Cole Memo for a wide-ranging conversation about cannabis policy from a consumer perspective. We discuss Illinois’ newly passed cannabis omnibus, questions surrounding dispensary ownership caps and consolidation, continued restrictions on home grow, cannabis possession limits, and whether the latest reforms actually do enough for consumers. We also discuss the uncertain future of hemp, THC beverages entering mainstream retailers and venues, cannabis surveillance, Michigan’s market, and what the next cannabis policy fight in Illinois might look like.

The Cole Memo
This week, I recap several major cannabis developments, including the end of the month-long Ascend Wellness workers' strike, new Illinois medical cannabis changes taking effect this fall, and the latest federal developments surrounding the proposed hemp crackdown. I also discuss the Senate's effort to delay the federal hemp ban, the Illinois Attorney General's support for preserving the current timeline, and what these competing efforts could mean for consumers, businesses, and cannabis policy moving forward. I also share my perspective on the broader hemp debate, why I believe criminalization remains the central issue, and whether age-gated, tested, and accurately labeled cannabis products should be regulated rather than banned. Plus, I wrap up the live show by taking audience questions, discussing home grow, future guests, and plans for a Cole Memo community pizza meetup.
