Summary
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.
