    Cannabis Marketing
    Dec 20 2025

    This week, we go one toke over the line and look at the emerging world of cannabis marketing.

    We start with the question - just how does a plant become illegal?

    We'll explore the history of cannabis.

    We'll talk about which celebrities have their own brands (Hello Willie Nelson!)

    Which high-end retail stores are now selling expensive cannabis paraphernalia.

    And which non-cannabis businesses are seeing a surprising uptick in sales - like fertilizer companies and fast-food restaurants.
