Brittney Griner Calls for Legalization in All 50 States | TDR Cannabis in 5

WNBA star Brittney Griner is calling for marijuana legalization in all 50 states, and this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, presented by FRE, looks at what she said and why it carries weight. Host Shadd Dales covers Marijuana Moment's report on Griner's appearance on Ben & Jerry's Into The Mix podcast, where she described cannabis as a booming business and pointed to the jobs, economic activity and tax revenue that legal markets generate.Griner's perspective comes from firsthand experience. In February 2022 she was detained at a Moscow airport after authorities found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage, products tied to her medical cannabis use, which was permitted under Arizona law. She was sentenced to nine years in a Russian penal colony and released in December 2022 through a prisoner exchange after nearly ten months in detention.The episode covers her push to help people still incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis offenses, including in places where marijuana laws have since relaxed, and her comments on using cannabis to manage pain during her basketball career. It also looks at how pro sports attitudes are shifting, including the WNBA removing marijuana from its prohibited substances list earlier this year and setting guidelines for players investing in and promoting cannabis businesses.The takeaway: rescheduling alone doesn't create a legal adult-use market in all 50 states, and voices like Griner's keep the legalization debate in front of a wider audience.#BrittneyGriner #CannabisLegalization #WNBA #MarijuanaMoment #CannabisReform #TDRCannabisIn5 #MedicalCannabis #CannabisPolicy #SportsAndCannabis #CannabisNewsWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Two Tracks Decide Cannabis Rescheduling | ...  🎬    • Governor Healey Says She'll Vote No on Can...  🎬    • DEA Again Says No Marijuana Overdose Death...  🎬    • Why Hemp Reform Just Got More Complicated ...  Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Instagram:   / dalesreport  ✅ LinkedIn:   / the-dales-report  Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradetoBlackon...Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradeToBlackon...Website: https://thedalesreport.com/For copyright matters, contact:sdales@thedalesreport.comPodcast Disclaimer (Financial Interests)The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any company, organization, or employer.
