## Resource

Cannabis and Where We're Headed- Lessons from Last Year & What 2026 May Bring! In this week’s episode, Ryan discusses where cannabis is headed in 2026—using the lessons of 2025 as a roadmap for what’s coming next. He reflects on how cannabis “normalization” accelerated last year while confusion around hemp vs. medical vs. adult-use also grew, and explains why 2025 was less about hype and expansion and more about consolidation, clarity, and smarter conversations. Ryan connects the dots between rescheduling momentum and a cultural shift toward intentional cannabis use—moving from strain-chasing to outcome-based routines, terpene and cannabinoid awareness, and cannabis as part of a broader “wellness stack.” If you’ve ever wondered how to use cannabis for sleep, anxiety, pain, longevity (without losing motivation or building tolerance), this episode is your New Year reset—practical, forward-looking, and built to help you start 2026 with purpose!
