What Is It You Actually Do?

At every cannabis event, there’s that moment. The polite chat is over. The regulation grumbles have been shared. The patient access nodding is complete.And then comes the simple question:“So… what do you actually do?”In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, Sian explores the curious rise of the vaguely involved. The consultants who can’t quite explain their consultancy. The advocates who advocate… something. The legacy-to-legitimacy transitions that haven’t quite landed. And the growing credibility gap between those doing the work and those enjoying the aesthetic.This isn’t about gatekeeping. It’s about clarity. Because if we can’t explain what we do in plain English, how do we expect policymakers, patients, or partners to take us seriously?A sharp, observational ride through smoke, mirrors, and the power of simply saying what you actually contribute.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.
