As April’s infamous 420 festivities approach, we’re joined by DJ Trill to spark a vibrant discussion on the evergreen topic of North America’s cannabis culture. Remember the Waldos of San Rafael High School? They lit the fuse that would explode into an international counterculture phenomenon. Fast forward to today, and we’re navigating a labyrinth of legalities, from the federal prohibition to the budding prospect of legalization in states like Florida. This episode isn’t just a trip down memory lane to the ’90s; it’s a present-day exploration of the cannabis tapestry, complete with the shifting sands of state laws and the caution needed when crossing borders with your stash.

Turning to the business side of the buzz, we’re all about the green – and we’re not just talking about the plant. The cannabis market is blooming, projected to reach a staggering $55 billion by 2027, and we’re here to dissect what that growth means for marketers and businesses diving into the industry. From Georgia’s competitive Hope Act to the artful dance of cannabis marketing in a tightly regulated space, we peel back the layers on how brands are making their mark. And as we share our own stories and chuckle over the irony of non-consumers like Isaiah Thomas and Tina P. helming cannabis enterprises, we’ll remind you to celebrate 420 with wisdom: know the local laws, keep it private, and always source your greens responsibly.
