Well… they’re finally legal (ish)
In this week’s episode of Overnight Experts, Chris and Sam blaze a trail through the booming world of Cannabusiness, the fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar industry turning weed from counterculture to commercial culture.
Once whispered about behind sheds and share houses, cannabis is now sold in boutique dispensaries, backed by investors, and branded with promises of wellness and creativity. The stoner stereotype has gone up in smoke, replaced by sleek packaging, clinical research, and marketing teams with a green conscience.
We explore how legalisation has sparked a global rush, from Byron to Berlin, from hemp gummies to medicinal-grade THC. But as the money flows and the laws loosen, the question gets hazy — who’s really benefiting from the boom?
Behind the polished branding and talk of reform lies a complicated story of politics, policing, and profit, where the people once punished for cannabis are often the last to see its rewards.
So spark up your curiosity and tune in as Chris and Sam unpack the business, the backlash, and the brave new world of legal weed.
