The Dime Hidden Growth Unmasked: Rescheduling, the Farm Bill & What Comes Next ft Trent Woloveck
For the last 18–24 months, reported cannabis growth told an incomplete story.
Demand did not plateau.
It was fragmented — between hemp channels, illicit markets, and regulated operators.
Now, with the Farm Bill loophole closing, Virginia coming online, and rescheduling potentially closer to execution, the numbers begin to look different. And feel different.
This week we sit down with Trent Woloveck to discuss:
• Why leading with retail first changes everything
• The strategic tradeoffs of vertical integration
• What true cannabinoid demand actually looks like once distortion fades
