The CTA Deck of Cards

What do a pack of cards, two women and the UK cannabis industry have in common?Quite a lot, as it turns out.In this slightly different episode of the Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, Sian takes a sideways look at an industry where the rules keep changing, everyone seems to have an opinion, and there is rarely a dull moment.Loosely inspired by the storytelling style of Tex Ritter’s classic Deck of Cards, this version comes with rather more regulation, rather more cannabis industry nonsense and its tongue planted very firmly in its cheek.There are regulators, patients, businesses, armchair experts, cowboys, social media, regulatory rabbit holes and, inevitably, a couple of Jokers.But who gets which card?You’ll have to listen to find out.The CTA Deck of Cards: a tale of two women, fifty-two cards and an industry that refuses to behave.Send us a messageSupport the showThe Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense is written and produced by Sian Phillips.Music by PlayDays2021, licensed royalty-free via Adobe.All opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the host and any guests, and do not necessarily reflect those of any affiliated organisations.This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, regulatory, legal, or financial advice.You can find “The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music Podcasts. © 2025 Sian Phillips.
