The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense
The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense is a sharp, satirical podcast series offering insider observations from within and outside the cannabis industry. Hosted by two women of a certain age with decades of lived experience between them.
Each episode is a humorous, often eyebrow-raising commentary on the chaos, contradictions, and characters that define the world of cannabis. From outdated laws and baffling bureaucracy to self-proclaimed experts and media misfires, nothing escapes scrutiny. If you like your truth served with a side of dry wit, unapologetic honesty, and the occasional eye roll — this ride is for you.
Step aboard, it never stops.
“The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense” is written and produced by Sian Phillips.
