In today’s Trade to Black MSOS Monday live episode, we are joined by Eric Berlin, a leading cannabis lawyer from Dentons along with Dan Ahrens from AdvisorShares. We will hear Eric’s views on the SAFER Banking Act, cannabis stock exchange uplisting, rescheduling, and other cannabis reform issues that may influence cannabis stock prices. We are also going to ask, what happens if rescheduling happens tomorrow? We will also have Dan Ahrens from AdvisorShares help us understand how $MSOS and cannabis stock prices might change based on what we learn.
Trade to Black co-hosts Shadd and Anthony are excited to welcome Eric Berlin as a guest. Eric dedicates all his time to advising clients in the cannabis and hemp industry at Dentons. His clientele includes current and past associations with Verano Holdings, Chicago Atlantic, Morgan Stanley, Tilt Holdings, and Scotts Miracle-Gro, among others.
