What’s really driving the rise of intoxicating hemp—and where is it headed next?
In this episode, we sit down with Tucker Johnson, whose career spans CFO roles at Lil Wayne’s cannabis company and the Emerald Cup, Head of Finance & Cannabis Lead at British American Tobacco, and consulting for top hemp operators. Tucker brings a rare perspective from both mainstream finance and the front lines of cannabis.
We dig into:
🌿 The 2018 Farm Bill — how it created today’s intoxicating hemp loophole and what might change.
🤠 Texas — 8,000+ smoke shops, a vetoed hemp ban, and Gov. Abbott’s new executive order reshaping the market.
🏝️ Florida — hemp as a de facto adult-use market, where tourists and consumers choose between black market, medical cannabis, and hemp products.
🔮 What these state experiments tell us about the national future of hemp.
If you want to understand the fast-changing hemp landscape and its impact on cannabis, this conversation is a must-listen.
