Trulieve, Curaleaf, Verano, and Vision Management Services, a Green Thumb Industries subsidiary, each gave $2.5 million in June to America First Agriculture Action Inc., a political committee that shares its treasurer with President Trump’s super PAC, according to newly filed FEC records. Arboretum Bidco, a holding company tied to AYR Wellness, added $1 million, and a smaller contribution from Ascend Wellness Holdings completed the $11.5 million month. Marijuana Moment’s running tally of FEC filings now puts cannabis-linked giving to Trump-aligned committees above $15 million. Political giving establishes access rather than outcomes, and the industry has read correctly where the outcomes now sit: Administrator Terrance Cole faces no statutory deadline on rescheduling, the Justice Department is defending the April order in the D.C. Circuit, and Congress controls none of it. The FEC’s next quarterly filings will show whether June was a spike or the new baseline. (Marijuana Moment; FEC filings)
