    🎙️ Exposing OhCann: Who Are They Really Working For?
    Jul 25 2025

    In this explosive episode of The Ohio Cannabis Report, we peel back the curtain on OhCann, the powerful lobbying arm of Ohio’s cannabis industry. While the people of Ohio voted for a more inclusive and accessible cannabis market, OhCann is working behind the scenes against that very will—prioritizing big business profits over patients, consumers, and the communities most harmed by the War on Drugs.


    We break down OhCann’s own words, where they openly state their mission is to serve business interests, not patients. But who benefits when access is restricted and local, Black, and legacy growers are left out of the conversation?


    Tune in as we dive deep into:


    Who is behind OhCann?

    How their lobbying efforts threaten equity and justice in Ohio’s cannabis industry.

    Why their actions go against the spirit of Issue 2 and the voice of Ohio voters.

    What this means for the African American community and the future of home grow, small businesses, and real community investment.


    📢 This is an episode you *don’t want to miss* if you care about cannabis justice, accountability, and building a market that truly serves the people—not just corporate interests.

    $3 Billion Sold, But At What Cost? Lawmakers vs. the People
    Jul 1 2025

    🎙️ Ohio Cannabis Report – June 2025 Podcast Episode
    In this powerful June 2025 update, host Gerald Moore Jr. breaks down the latest cannabis headlines from Ohio—and the tension is real.

    Ohio has officially crossed $3 billion in legal cannabis sales in just six years, but while the industry celebrates, lawmakers in Columbus are moving to gut core parts of the cannabis laws voters approved. From rolling back home grow rights to limiting local control and equity access, the state legislature's moves have sparked outrage from patients, community leaders, and local governments alike.

    In this episode:
    🌱 The $3B milestone – who’s profiting and who’s still left out
    ⚖️ How proposed changes could undo years of advocacy and harm reduction
    🗣️ Voices from the community pushing back against political overreach
    📍 What YOU can do to protect Ohio’s cannabis future

    Tune in, stay informed, and join the movement to keep cannabis for the people—not just the profit.
