Hollow Points: Helps Not Coming

The dream of federal reform has hit wall. The effort to move the plant from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act has ground to a halt. What was supposed to be a landmark shift is now stuck in bureaucratic purgatory.

And while the political machine drags its feet, the industry pays the price. Section 280E of the IRS code still bars operators from deducting basic business expenses. That means taxes are brutal. Banking access remains a nightmare.

So here’s the hard truth: help’s not coming. Not from the DEA. Not from Congress. Not from anyone in a suit.

Sanity Check

The days of $60 eighths and packed limited storefronts are gone. Every license holder needs to check their house. Are your managers feeding you fluff? Are your systems up to date? Or are your people doing things “the way they’ve always done them”? That’s a red flag.

Trust, but verify.

If you’re in a leadership role and you’re not actively learning every system, questioning every process, and outgrowing your current seat—you’re a liability. No mentor? No map? No Problem, we got you covered.

God Particle

This isn’t just another job. This is a rare moment—an uncarved block of stone, a half-built foundation, a chance to shape an entire industry with your fingerprints still fresh on the wet cement.

Every seed you plant today—every late night learning compliance, every broken system you fix, every hard question you ask—those are the roots of something real.

The industry needs thinkers, builders, and disruptors. Not passengers.

So if you’ve lost your focus, get it back. If you’ve lost your fire, find it. Because this moment won’t wait for you. The only question that matters now is: are you ready to grow?
