Built by a former cannabis regulator, Policy, Decoded helps operators read the policy terrain before it shifts beneath their feet.
Today's edition is sponsored by ElevenLabs. Their support keeps these briefings free and focused on what actually matters.
Sen. Jeff Merkley refiled the SAFE Banking Act with a bipartisan four, and the DEA opens its rescheduling hearing Monday with the government carrying the burden of proof. The work that actually moves the field is in the states. California is putting $227 million behind the idea that licensing alone never built a market, New York finally stood up the clinical cannabis center other states only announce, and on the Massachusetts State House steps, operators launched a campaign to beat back a repeal that every other legal state should read as a rehearsal.

Scale your customer experience across all channels
Most teams scale customer service by hiring, but with ElevenAgents, real-time voice and chat agents handle high volumes of interactions and resolve them faster.
When routine requests come in, they get answered in the moment, in 70+ languages. However, the complex ones route to humans with full context, so your team focuses only on the conversations that need judgment. The experience holds up because the agents sound human, not robotic. And with Expressive Mode, they read tone and adapt - de-escalating, reassuring, and guiding each conversation to a clear resolution.
You can train every agent on your knowledge base, SOPs, and policies, deploy across voice, chat, and WhatsApp, then keep improving with real-time CSAT tracking, A/B testing, and Guardrails.
The outcome is the one leaders care about: higher resolution rates, higher CSAT, and support that scales with demand instead of headcount. Pricing is transparent and flat at $0.08 per minute, with no add-ons to work around.
