2025 marked a pivotal year for cannabis, with a landmark executive order potentially rescheduling cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, impacting federal policy and patient access. While some states made progress with medical cannabis initiatives, others faced setbacks, leaving the national landscape with 24 adult-use states and 39 medical programs. Despite challenges like oversupply and testing issues, the cannabis industry continued to grow, generating significant economic impact and tax revenue.

The Cannabis Boomer Podcast covered various topics in 2025, including cannabis use for sleep, pain, migraines, and its effects on older adults and pets. The podcast also explored unexpected topics like female sexual function and sleep apnea. Looking ahead to 2026, the podcast will focus on questions surrounding cannabis rescheduling, banking regulations, and the potential for Medicare coverage of cannabis therapies.
