To get more of an insider\u2019s perspective, we\u2019re thrilled to be talking to Jarrod Loadholt. He\u2019s a partner at Ice Miller LLP\u2019s cannabis group, where he specializes in cannabis law. Previously, he was the head of Credit Karma\u2019s Washington D.C. office, and before that, he co-founded a full-service public affairs firm with a focus on government relations, public affairs, strategic communications, and electoral campaigns. This makes him more than qualified to discuss this episode\u2019s topic: federal cannabis legalization in the United States. In our conversation, we dig into why cannabis isn\u2019t a huge legislative priority at the federal level right now despite massive support, the incremental changes that could help the industry right now, and what the SAFE Act is\u2013and how you can help get it passed. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Why the coming midterms will give us a much clearer picture of what\u2019s to come for cannabis. What makes the cannabis industry so bad at advocating for itself in Washington. Why the SAFE Act has taken way too long to pass\u2013and why the Cannabis Administration Opportunity Act (CAOA) is not happening. Why the Biden administration has yet to embrace mass clemency. How crypto can play a role in cannabis banking despite being a highly speculative, high-risk field.
