    Episode 7: No Smiling
    Aug 17 2021
    Weed may be legal, but it’s still nearly impossible to market. We meet a lawmaker who bristled at federal rules forbidding smiling in cannabis advertising, and talk about branding with one of Canada’s most august, eminent stoners - Tommy Chong. We also chat about building a weed brand with Kevin Smith, veteran maker of “stoner movies,” who was himself a late-blooming stoner.
