<p>On this episode of the Trade To Black Podcast, presented by Flowhub, hosts Anthony Varrell sits down with George Archos, Founder and CEO of Verano Holdings Corp. (Cboe CA: VRNO; OTCQX: VRNOF), for a wide-ranging conversation on one of the most consequential stretches the U.S. cannabis industry has faced in years.Archos breaks down Verano&#39;s recently announced 1-for-5 reverse stock split and what it signals about the company&#39;s capital markets strategy. With the consolidation set to take effect in mid-June, the move is the latest in a series of deliberate steps — including Verano&#39;s 2025 redomiciling to Nevada — aimed at positioning the company for a potential uplisting to a major U.S. stock exchange. We dig into the why, the timing, and what institutional access could mean for a leading multi-state operator running 162 dispensaries across 13 states.The conversation also turns to the road ahead. With the DEA&#39;s June 29 administrative hearing poised to weigh broader cannabis rescheduling — beyond the medical and FDA-approved products already moved to Schedule III — Archos shares his read on what&#39;s at stake, how operators are preparing, and what the 280E tax relief unlocked by rescheduling could mean for balance sheets across the sector.Finally, Archos zooms out to the industry at large: the wave of reverse splits and cap-table cleanups sweeping the space, the legal challenges to rescheduling working through the courts, and where he sees the next leg of growth.It&#39;s a candid look at strategy, reform, and what comes next.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabis">#Cannabis</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabisstocks">#CannabisStocks</a> <a
