At the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/fall-2024/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a>, entrepreneur Luke Scarmazzo, who co-founded Prophet Brands, engaged deeply with attendees, exploring various avenues for collaboration. He emphasized his openness to diverse business ventures ranging from investments to licensing deals, revealing a strategic approach to leveraging industry connections.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Personal Journey And Advocacy</h3>
Scarmazzo, known for his nearly 15-year tenure in federal prison due to his early involvement in a state-legal cannabis dispensary, detailed the profound impact of his incarceration experience on his current advocacy efforts. He shed light on the reality that many still face imprisonment for non-violent cannabis crimes despite changing laws. Scarmazzo's narrative was not just his own. However, it echoed the lives of 3,000 others still behind bars, highlighting the urgent need for reform and support, which organizations like Mission Green actively address.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future Goals And Projects</h3>
With an optimistic view of the future, Scarmazzo hinted at upcoming projects and partnerships that unfold in 2024 and 2025, though specifics remain confidential until these are finalized. His advocacy goals are equally ambitious, as he aspires to a future where his advocacy is no longer necessary—envisioning a time when no one will be incarcerated for cannabis offenses. On the business front, he discussed expanding his entrepreneurial ventures nationally and internationally, promising significant developments in the cannabis industry.

Cannabis Reform Advocate Champions Change, Looks To Expand Prophet Across The Globe

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/37007973/dave-ramsey-tells-29-year-old-with-1-million-in-debt-hes-going-to-destroy-her-life-as-she-knows-">Dave Ramsey</a>, known for his financial guidance, has recently addressed the topic of purchasing cars without debt. On a Facebook reel posted on April 13, Ramsey responded to a caller, who had $5,000 available to buy a car after assisting her parents.
Initially, she inquired about car payments, but Ramsey stopped her, stating, &#8220;I know you didn&#8217;t call Dave Ramsey and ask to go into car debt.&#8221; Her primary concern was the quality of a car she could find for $5,000. She asked, &#8220;Can I get a reliable car for $5,000?&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>82% of Americans aren&#8217;t using<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/public-hys"> this government secured 5% passive income stream</a>, are you one of them?</li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
He assured her, "Sure. Oh absolutely. Yeah, you can get a decent car for 5,000 bucks,&#8221; emphasizing the possibility of purchasing a reliable, short-term vehicle within her budget.
Ramsey proposed a strategic plan for the caller to avoid car loans. He advised her to save the monthly car loan payment, approximately $500 per month, for 10 months, and use the $5,000 plus her current car&#8217;s value to buy a $10,000 vehicle. Ramsey assumed the trade-in would remain stable, although, in reality, the value usually depreciates.
The advice sparked a debate among viewers in the post&#8217;s comments section. One viewer argued against Ramsey&#8217;s suggestion: &#8220;You&#8217;re not going to find a reliable car for $5,000 and be spending a fortune on repairs. If you&#8217;re going to buy used, get a Toyota or Lexus." This comment points out the potential additional costs of maintenance that could detract from the savings of a cheaper upfront purchase.&nbsp;
Another commenter offered a different perspective, suggesting even more frugality: &#8220;$5,000 is a ton of money for a car. Could get a $2,000 Corolla or Civic and start saving with the rest EASILY.&#8221; This perspective suggests a smaller initial investment to enhance financial agility.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
While Ramsey advises on debt-free car ownership, finding a reliable car under $5,000 can be challenging. Tools such as J.D. Power&#8217;s reliability surveys, where a score of &#8220;80/100&#8221; signifies an &#8220;average&#8221; reliability rating, can be useful. But, such vehicles typically cost between $7,000–$10,000. The 2013 Volkswagen CC and 2013 Hyundai Accent score well for their reliability but exceed the $5,000 budget, as reported by US News.&nbsp;
The &#8220;best&#8221; approach depends on the individual&#8217;s situation and risk tolerance. An individual with good repair skills or connections to reliable mechanics might go for a cheaper car.&nbsp; However, those looking for long drives or family transport might look for reliability rather than cost. They would not mind a car loan and careful budgeting.
The key takeaway is to be realistic about your needs and budget. Conduct thorough research on used car options in your area. Consider their reliability ratings, maintenance expenses, and prospective trade-in values. Before taking a loan, verify that the monthly payments are manageable and align with your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">overall financial goals</a>.

Highlighting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/03/37759302/my-criminality-still-stands-pot-prisoner-speaks-out-amid-booming-legal-weed-sales-and-bidens-no-">persistent issues</a> faced by many, the NACDL&#8217;s plea underscores the disparity between evolving state laws and federal enforcement, stressing the enduring harm inflicted on individuals and families by ongoing marijuana prosecutions.
&#8220;The continued prosecution of marijuana crimes continues to cause irreparable harm on real people and their families,&#8221; resource counsel Elizabeth Budnitz and executive director Lisa M. Wayne wrote in their Tuesday&nbsp;<a href="https://assets.law360news.com/1833000/1833536/nacdl-letter-to-white-house-counsel-on-clemency-for-non-violent-marijuana-offenses-04302024.pdf">letter</a>&nbsp;to the White House counsel, <a href="https://www.law360.com/articles/1833536/criminal-defense-attys-push-biden-for-cannabis-clemency">reported</a> Law360.com.
&#8220;Men and women languish in federal prisons across this country for conduct today that has been legalized in many states and under statues that have been rewritten to reflect the evolving landscape in the field of marijuana,&#8221; the letter continued.
Drawing attention to specific cases, the letter brings into focus pot prisoners like Kerry Lynn Collier, 53, who has served 11 years of a 20-year sentence for a nonviolent marijuana crime, the lawyers wrote. Collier&#8217;s situation exemplifies the dissonance between contemporary attitudes towards marijuana and the punitive measures applied retrospectively.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Biden Pardons Good But Not Enough</h2>
While acknowledging Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/10/29175510/breaking-biden-announces-pardons-for-all-federal-marijuana-possession-convictions">prior pardons</a> for federal marijuana possession offenses in October 2022 and again in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/12/36361671/biden-pardons-thousands-convicted-of-cannabis-possession-calls-on-governors-to-do-the-same">December 2023</a>, the lawyers stressed the need for broader action, advocating for clemency for individuals facing more serious charges and highlighting the limitations of merely reclassifying marijuana without broader decriminalization.
They noted that the pardons had no effect on those convicted of more serious marijuana offenses, such as possession with intent to sell or driving under the influence of marijuana. &#8220;The partial measure of reclassification&nbsp;— in contrast with the ultimate solution of decriminalization&nbsp;— would have only a limited impact on criminal justice cases involving marijuana,&#8221; Wayne said in the statement. &#8220;While President Biden has granted pardons for federal marijuana possession cases, many more individuals languish in federal prisons with petitions pending for commutations of their sentences.&#8221; 
Based on Bureau of Justice statistics the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38030369/the-power-of-paper-a-leading-cannabis-rolling-paper-companys-approach-to-social-justice" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Last Prisoner Project</a> (LPP) — a nonprofit dedicated to the release of individuals incarcerated for cannabis offenses — <a href="https://www.lastprisonerproject.org/cannabis-prisoner-scale#:~:text=And%20if%20you%20apply%20the,and%20~10K%20federal%20facilities)." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a> that there are approximately 22,000 pot prisoners serving time in state correctional facilities and around 10,000 in federal prisons. Biden, who can only pardon those in federal prisons, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/12/36361671/biden-pardons-thousands-convicted-of-cannabis-possession-calls-on-governors-to-do-the-same" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">called on state governors</a> to do the honors.

Coinbureau co-founder Nic Puckrin shared how a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38572139/sell-in-may-and-go-away-a-fading-tradition-in-stock-market">sell in May and go away</a>&#8221; strategy would have done for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: In a thread on X, Puckrin pointed out compelling statistics on the historical performance of Bitcoin. Over the past five years, buying Bitcoin in October and selling in April has yielded cumulative returns of 1,449%. In contrast, buying in May and selling in September has resulted in a loss of 29%. The question on everyone&#8217;s mind is whether the chart will see a similar pattern this year.

Let&#39;s dig in &#x1f447;

&#8220;Sell in May, Go Away&#8221; is an old adage from TradFi which refers to the effect of seasonality.
"Daily trading volume &amp; volatility has fallen to 2-month lows and futures premiums have fallen to 3-month lows," Puckrin writes, adding that other factors like institutions are less bullish. Moreover, retail sentiment is fading, and the Fear &amp; Greed index is in neutral territory, with Bitcoin search trends heading lower.

Why It Matters: The worsening macro environment and the fading "pivot play" are driving liquidity away from the markets in general. 
Puckrin suggests that a saving grace could be the draining of the Treasury General Account, which could provide risk assets with a liquidity injection of up to $1.4 trillion, as recently theorized by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38620416/arthur-hayes-sees-bitcoin-bottom-in-predicts-range-bound-price-action-until-august">Arthur Hayes</a>.
Whether the Treasury decides to provide this much-needed stimulus depends on various factors, such as the labor market, GDP growth,and the administration&#8217;s desire to win the upcoming election.
If historical patterns hold true, a cooling off period could be witnessed in the crypto market over the next few months.

Sell Bitcoin In May And Go Away? Here's How How You Could Have Pocketed A 1,449% Cumulative Return

Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady was roasted by former teammates, comedians and friends during a live Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38413496/tom-brady-to-be-roasted-in-live-netflix-special-nfl-goat-becomes-groat-in-streaming-giants-">streaming special Sunday.</a>
Among the topics discussed were Brady's career, unwillingness to retire, his divorce from Gisele Bündchen and various NFL controversies like "Deflategate." The topic of cryptocurrency drew one of the biggest reactions from the crowd and social media.
What Happened: Brady previously served as a brand ambassador for cryptocurrency trading platform FTX. The company, once valued at $32 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/11/29681030/ftx-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy">announced bankruptcy in 2022 </a>and rattled the cryptocurrency market.
Brady's endorsement of FTX and investment in the company was involved in several jokes during Sunday's live "The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady" event on Netflix.
The event took place at the Kia Forum in California.
"You're saying ‘Guys, why didn't we go to the Crypto.com Arena downtown?'" roast host Kevin Hart said.
Hart said the reason was to not remind fans about Brady's past cryptocurrency experiences.
"He f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ed those people…F&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ed ‘em good, didn't he."
Comedian Nikki Glaser also got in a zing on Brady and his past relationship with FTX.
"Tom also lost $30 million in crypto. Tom, how did you fall for that? I mean, even Gronk was like me know that's not real money," Glaser said, referencing Brady's former teammate Rob Gronkowski who is often made fun of for his intelligence.
The joke was met with a roar of laughter from the crowd and also on stage from several participants including Hart and Gronkowski. Social media quickly shared the joke and called it one of the best from the roast.

Why It's Important: Brady is one of several celebrities<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/07/33156403/tom-bradys-association-with-collapsed-ftx-exchange-left-him-with-huge-losses-heres-how-muc"> associated with FTX</a> that has been named in lawsuits.
Brady was paid a reported $30 million for his partnership with the company. The investment, which consisted of equity in the company, has been made mostly worthless after the collapse of FTX.
The NFL great <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/11/29709880/tom-brady-twitter-profile-picture-interception-no-more-bitcoin-laser-eyes-could-it-be-due-">previously had "laser eyes"</a> on his X, formerly known as Twitter, profile picture. In November 2022, Brady removed the picture, which came after FTX declared bankruptcy and more than 550 days after sporting the pro-Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) look.
During the roast of Brady, many memorable topics were covered, including his promotion of FTX—a subject the former NFL quarterback would likely prefer to forget, given the company&#8217;s troubled history.

Inspire Veterinary Partners shares are trading lower after the company announced a 1-for-100 reverse stock split.

Microsoft Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) is reportedly gearing up to compete with tech giants&nbsp;Alphabet Inc&#8217;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&nbsp;and OpenAI by developing a new in-house AI language model.
Microsoft, under the supervision of Mustafa Suleyman, former Google DeepMind co-founder, is training a new AI language model named MAI-1, according to a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/meet-mai-1-microsoft-readies-new-ai-model-to-compete-with-google-openai" rel="noreferrer noopener">report&nbsp;</a>from&nbsp;the Information.
This initiative seeks to rival the capabilities of Google and OpenAI. The purpose of MAI-1 is yet to be fully determined and is contingent upon its performance.&nbsp;
The model&#8217;s unveiling may occur during Microsoft&#8217;s upcoming Build developer conference, the report added.
MAI-1&nbsp;is projected&nbsp;to surpass Microsoft&#8217;s previous smaller, open-source models in size and capability, potentially signaling higher costs.&nbsp;
The company&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://news.microsoft.com/source/features/ai/the-phi-3-small-language-models-with-big-potential/" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently&nbsp;</a>introduced Phi-3-mini, a smaller AI model, aiming to broaden its client base with cost-effective alternatives.
Phi-3-mini, measuring 3.8 billion parameters, is available in the&nbsp;Microsoft Azure AI Model Catalog&nbsp;and on&nbsp;Hugging Face, a platform for machine learning models,&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;Ollama, a lightweight framework for running models on a local machine. It will also be available as an&nbsp;NVIDIA Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) NIM&nbsp;microservice with a standard API interface that&nbsp;can be deployed&nbsp;anywhere.

Microsoft&#8217;s substantial investment in OpenAI technology and&nbsp;deployment of ChatGPT across its suite of productivity software&nbsp;has positioned it as a frontrunner in generative AI.&nbsp;
The report noted that MAI-1 is anticipated to boast approximately 500 billion parameters, in contrast to OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-4 with one trillion parameters and Phi-3-mini with 3.8 billion parameters.
