🎙️ New Episode of The Dime How U.S. Cannabis Legalization Will Shape Global Influence ft. Hirsh Jain
"Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else have your way." — Daniele Vare Are we underestimating the role cannabis could play in shaping global influence? U.S. brands have historically had global appeal, but could cannabis open the door to new trade opportunities and strategic value on an international scale? Who will lead these global negotiations when the U.S. is still struggling with a state-by-state approach? Can state-level influence accelerate global change, and what would the timeline for such a shift look like? This week, we sit down with Hirsh Jain to explore these critical questions and more.
 Key Topics Discussed: Hirsh's background and journey into the cannabis industry (00:02:06 - 00:06:05) The United States' potential to influence global cannabis policy and legalization (00:06:41 - 00:14:32) The importance of state-level legalization progress in the U.S. and its impact on federal action (00:14:44 - 00:18:28) Predictions on key states to watch for future legalization efforts (00:18:29 - 00:20:01) The role of hemp products and their impact on the cannabis industry (00:38:22 - 00:45:04) The responsibility of the cannabis industry and public health authorities to educate on cannabis (00:45:19 - 00:49:10) Hirsh's "dream smoking session" with three historical figures (00:49:18 - 00:50:31) Hirsh's contrarian view that regulators need to be held more accountable (00:50:37 - 00:51:20) The potential for the U.S. to leverage cannabis legalization for strategic international alliances (00:51:48 - 00:53:26) About Hirsh Jain Hirsh Jain is the Founder of Ananda Strategy, a strategy consultancy which advises leading cannabis brands, retailers, ancillary technology businesses and venture capital funds in the United States, Canada and Western Europe.
