In this episode of Let’s Match, Let’s Talk About It, Tony Stewart breaks down how legal cannabis became a real-life version of the board game Monopoly — where corporate giants own the board, small growers fight just to roll the dice, and the government plays Banker.
We expose how legalization was marketed as “opportunity,” but quickly turned into a system where a handful of multistate operators (Curaleaf, Trulieve, Cresco Labs, Green Thumb Industries) control licenses, supply chains, and pricing. Tony explains why states like Illinois and Florida only allow a small number of licenses, how lobbyists influence lawmakers, and how cannabis entrepreneurs are boxed out before they even get started.
From license fees hitting $60,000 just to apply…
to vertical integration that forces businesses to buy from the same companies they compete against…
to social equity licenses being bought up by corporations…
Tony shows how the game is rigged — and what it will take for small growers, local farms, and patient advocates to flip the board.

People are able to order THCA online because the 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized hemp products that contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, and THCA falls under that category until heated or converted. Reputable online retailers include lab reports (COAs) proving compliance, which lets them ship through standard carriers like UPS or USPS. Customers place orders just like any other online purchase, and the product is vacuum-sealed and shipped discreetly to their home. Even though it’s federally legal, state laws vary, so the website usually checks the buyer’s ZIP code to ensure it can be delivered there.The CANNABIS LAWYER

🛍️ Episode Bio – Malls, Memories & the American Shift (ft. Joint Juggernaut)
In this episode of Let’s Match, Let’s Talk About It, Tony is joined by special guest Joint Juggernaut to roll up and rewind the tape on the golden era of American malls. From food court hangouts to Friday night sneaker drops, we reflect on what malls meant in the '90s — not just as shopping centers, but as cultural ecosystems. Joint Juggernaut shares real stories from the mall scene, the rise of smoke spots in JC Penney dressing rooms, and the unspoken rules of arcade hierarchy. We also explore how mall culture has shifted: ghostly retail spaces, Amazon-era consumerism, and the deeper loss of local social hubs. This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s a look at how architecture and community used to vibe, and what it says about where we’re headed.

In this episode, Tony dives into the puzzling recent events shaking public trust: video footage of a Hellfire missile reportedly bouncing off an unidentified aerial object, congressional experts demanding answers, and what it all means for how we believe in our national security. Also explored is the tragic death of Charlie Kirk — how it occurred, the questions left behind, and why political violence is no longer fringe news but central to how we see leaders, safety, and speech. This show isn’t about picking sides; it’s about asking whether our institutions are equipped for what’s happening, and how the lines between truth, fear, and trust are getting redrawn.

What's The Difference: Between The Bloods, The Ku Klux Klan, & Free Masons?
This episode dives into the real contrasts between brotherhoods, secrecy, and legitimacy.
We explore how some organizations create community through tradition and shared purpose.
Others use ritual and exclusivity as a mask for control, manipulation, or hidden agendas.
The conversation asks: what truly makes a group legitimate?
We break down the difference between support networks and organizations that exploit members.
You’ll hear how certain groups historically tried to pass themselves off as harmless “clubs.”
We examine why paperwork alone doesn’t define purpose or accountability.
An LLC, when used correctly, can create transparency, structure, and protection.
That structure is the opposite of secrecy—it allows a brotherhood to operate openly.
It’s a conversation about empowerment versus exploitation.
We uncover what separates healthy community from dangerous imitation.
By the end, you’ll see that legitimacy is more than labels—it’s the intention behind the organization.

🔊 About Episode 2 – High Thoughts: What’s the Difference?
In this thought-provoking solo episode, Tony unpacks the legal, cultural, and structural double standards that separate street gangs from fraternities, cults, and even the Ku Klux Klan. With blunt honesty and a deep dive into how paperwork, public perception, and privilege shape legality, this episode challenges why some groups are celebrated and others are criminalized. From gang enhancement laws to nonprofit status loopholes, Tony breaks down what really makes an organization “legit” in the eyes of the law. The episode also explores how gangs could go legitimate, and why society refuses to see similarities between brotherhoods with matching hoodies versus those with matching robes. It’s not about what you do — it’s who’s allowed to do it without being punished. This is the episode where street truth meets legal fact.
