What the Hemp Is Going On? — with Whitt Steineker
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today on Higher Exchanges, Jesse and Morgan sit down with Whitt Steineker, Partner at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, to break down the major regulatory shifts impacting hemp, cannabis, and the broader U.S. market.
We cover:
- What just happened to the U.S. hemp market — why it happened, what it means, and when enforcement may hit.
- How new hemp rules affect state-licensed cannabis — potential opportunities, risks, and implications for federal reform.
- The future of industrial hemp — genetics, farming incentives, infrastructure needs, and whether this resets the narrative around American hemp production.
- The divide in D.C. between intoxicating hemp and legal cannabis, why it exists, and how these sectors might align to drive federal change.
Whitt also shares how Bradley is advising clients through this moment — and what he expects to see in both cannabis and hemp policy over the next 12 months.
