I know it’s the way US does business and politics but it is, let’s be honest, truly depressing and so much for emptying the swamp it’s just become ever more turgid and full of critters that you’d hope that you’d never have to meet in your life.

Their full analysis of the MM report
Cannabis Industry’s $1M Trump Bet |
| What Happened: Cannabis industry political committee American Rights and Reform PAC contributed $1 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC in the first half of 2025, funded by major operators including Verano ($1.04M), Green Thumb ($1M), Cresco Labs ($750K), Curaleaf ($750K), and Trulieve ($250K) – totaling over $3.7 million raised by the PAC. The PAC also spent $120,500 on Trump pollster Fabrizio, Lee & Associates and $300,000 on conservative consultant X Strategies for anti-Biden advertising. (Marijuana Moment) |
| Why It Matters: The industry’s pivot from defensive lobbying to proactive influence operations comes during a critical policy inflection point where traditional legislative pathways have stalled. Major operators face immediate threats from banking restrictions, interstate commerce barriers, and tax burdens that collectively cost hundreds of millions annually. With regulatory agencies providing mixed signals and Congress remaining gridlocked, the industry is investing in executive branch relationships to secure federal policy advancement that could unlock institutional capital markets and interstate commerce opportunities worth billions. The strategic timing also coincides with growing pressure on the administration to address the state-federal cannabis policy conflict that creates compliance burdens for operators and banks alike. |
THC Group Take: The contribution structure demonstrates sophisticated understanding of this administration’s unique decision-making architecture, where policy appears to flow from a single source in the Oval Office rather than traditional interagency processes. While the $1M direct contribution represents a modest fraction of MAGA Inc.’s $177M total receipts, the industry’s real strategic investment lies in the surrounding ecosystem – funding Trump’s pollster Fabrizio, Lee & Associates to generate supportive data, retaining conservative consultant X Strategies for message amplification, and building relationships with key advisors like Alex Bruesewitz. This administration operates more transactionally than philosophically at times, making access and persuasive arguments for positive headlines and rollout opportunities particularly appealing. In this White House, access costs money (unless Curaleaf has a new Air Force One laying around). Policy rollout also appears strategic at times to capture news cycles, change subjects, or both – creating opportunities for cannabis reform announcements that serve broader political narratives. DEA’s omission of rescheduling from strategic priorities isn’t a big deal if the Administrator gets a call from the White House in the next few weeks. The industry’s $3.7 million total investment reflects recognition that traditional bureaucratic channels may matter less than direct presidential engagement. The relatively modest direct Trump contribution indicates strategic patience as well as fiscal constraints. The contribution itself recognizes that influence can be built and create political opportunities down the road. These are receipts that will matter at some point. |
