Episode 6 – NCIA’s Voice of Cannabis with Dina Titus: The Next Champion for Federal Legalization?
In this pivotal episode of the NCIA’s Voice of Cannabis Podcast, Executive Director Aaron Smith joins forces with Pro Cannabis Media Founder Jimmy Young for a compelling conversation with special guest Congresswoman Dina Titus (D-Nevada).
With the recent retirement of longtime cannabis advocate Rep. Earl Blumenauer, the cannabis industry is asking, who will carry the torch for federal reform? Many eyes are now on Congresswoman Titus, a passionate voice for states’ rights, patient access, and economic equity in cannabis. Representing Nevada’s First District — home to Las Vegas and a thriving cannabis economy — Titus has been a vocal critic of outdated federal policies and a staunch supporter of cannabis businesses facing financial and regulatory challenges.
This episode dives into:
Dina Titus’ vision for federal cannabis reform in a post-Blumenauer Congress
Her efforts on the SAFE Banking Act and Veterans Equal Access legislation
What it will take to finally end federal prohibition
How Congress can better support social equity and tribal cannabis initiatives
Is Dina Titus the new face of the federal legalization movement? Tune in to find out why she might just be the leader the cannabis industry has been waiting for.
