Where the Hemp and Cannabis Industry Really Stand Right Now | TTB Presented by Flowhub

<p>Three guests, three big topics on this episode of TDR Trade to Black, presented by Flowhub. Hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell kick things off with Flowhub CEO Kyle Sherman, breaking down what Labor Day 2026 sales data actually tells us about the cannabis industry. Across the Flowhub network, sales were only about 5% higher than a typical weekend, with no single breakout day and cart sizes staying flat — a sign the lift came from existing customers shopping a little more, not new demand. Kyle compares that against 4/20 2026, when dispensaries saw roughly 3.3x the revenue of an average Monday, and unpacks why retailers shouldn't treat every holiday like it deserves the same deep discounts heading into Green Wednesday, Thanksgiving, and Black Friday.Then longtime viewer and frequent commenter Brian Dombrowski, a 20+ year hemp and cannabis industry veteran, finally joins us on camera. Dombrowski lays out what real hemp regulation should look like with the December 11 federal deadline closing in, then gets into Texas, where he was directly involved in the industry pushback against the state's THC ban and what could come next for the state's midterms.We close out with Vantage Chief Medical Officer Dr. Paul Shields for our weekly Vantage Standard segment, breaking down the latest medical and regulatory news in the hemp and cannabinoid space.Subscribe and drop your thoughts in the comments below.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hempindustry" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HempIndustry</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabisnews" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CannabisNews</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hempban" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HempBan</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/texascannabis" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TexasCannabis</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hempregulation" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HempRegulation</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabispolicy" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CannabisPolicy</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/thc" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#THC</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cbd" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CBD</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabisindustry" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CannabisIndustry</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/tradetoblack" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TradeToBlack</a>Want to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H261NyA24Qg" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">   • Is the New York Times Getting Cannabis Wro...  </a>🎬 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipYwrYlp_2U" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">   • Democrat Calls for Full Cannabis Legalizat...  </a>🎬 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvuUnZm6DEc" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">   • Trump Grants Clemency to Two Cannabis Offe...  </a>Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUlFpYWxOMl9pR3g0aWNnRExjVndzQnxBTl9pYzRlTE81VHZCOTVaTXItZ2o1R183TmZFRzFsN2xLZ0FXaHdIYW1tRWp4VEtJRWhaQzdEamZ3ZlM1bXE2b2ozWGtCZ0lwR05LcWxqbkY5eEtRVFNnN1dkb2JYRmo5ckdY&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fnewsletter.thedalesreport.com%2Fsubscribe&amp;v=NLNJ6XUNFrg" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...</a>Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUzcyTHVEa1QyQ3F2dUktT3lmYmJ4dXxBTl9pYzRkNkQybkQ0c3pVZkZJSm5sMFpLek5ENEFyb19pQnhPV2F5WUthVWxQbmNMa051b3YwZnQwNno0aXowRVFlQ2pXQ18tdnNlU19ac0NTTW5fNVhVaGctdmg2REhXb2VJ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTheDalesReport&amp;v=NLNJ6XUNFrg"
