Cannabis Marketing

APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode


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.



Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
