HERBAL DISPATCH CEO PHILIP CAMPBELL WEIGHS IN ON GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS OF USA CANNABIS RECLASSIFICATION TO SCHEDULE III

Herbal Dispatch Inc. today shared insights from chief executive officer Philip Campbell regarding President Trump's landmark decision to shift cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act.

"This development stands as a transformative breakthrough not just for U.S. cannabis, but for the global industry at large. By reclassifying cannabis to Schedule III, it reinforces a worldwide recognition of its medicinal potential and calls for balanced, pragmatic governance that transcends borders.

"In the U.S., this move narrows the divide between federal policy and public opinion, where close to 90 per cent of citizens endorse some degree of legalization and 74 per cent live in states with active programs. Yet its ripple effects extend internationally, fostering avenues for collaborative medical research across nations. It honours the trailblazing initiatives of policymakers worldwide, including in Canada, who have established rigorous, consumer-focused cannabis systems.

"For Herbal Dispatch, this rescheduling unlocks exciting new pathways for growth and expansion. As a leading e-commerce and distribution platform, we stand to benefit from increased harmonization between U.S. and Canadian markets, allowing us to explore strategic partnerships, broaden our product reach into emerging U.S. segments and leverage improved capital access for technological advancements in our supply chain and customer platforms. This shift not only bolsters our operational efficiencies but also positions us to capitalize on rising global demand, driving long-term value for our shareholders and stakeholders.

"We applaud President Trump for this progressive step and are steadfast in our mission to cultivate a credible, innovative and expansive cannabis platform that serves communities around the world."
