Crackdowns, Pouches, and Property Booms

Connecticut is redrawing the hemp map—and smoke shops are in the crosshairs. This week on The HeadLine, we break down the new enforcement blitz, the legal gray zones, and why retailers should be paying close attention.

Then: nicotine pouches go thermonuclear. With growth outpacing Bitcoin (yes, seriously), we look at the marketing loopholes, FDA approvals, and why “Zyn bros” are laughing all the way to the bank.

Also in this episode:

  • Why THC labels can’t be trusted—and the science to prove it

  • How legal cannabis is pushing home values higher across the U.S.

  • And what all of this means for retailers caught between innovation and regulation

If you’re in the smoke shop or cannabis space, this episode isn’t just news—it’s survival strategy.
