Where do all the Bad Guys go? The curious lifecycle of cannabis charlatans

A guided tour of the industry’s overconfident disasters and the loyal minions who follow them.In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, we take a steady spin through one of the industry’s most persistent mysteries — where do all the bad guys actually go?You know the ones. The swagger, the bravado, the confidence so blinding you need a risk assessment just to stand near it. They arrive declaring themselves visionaries, throw money around like confetti, charm anyone with a pulse, and then mislead the very people trying to build the sector properly. And of course, they always bring an entourage of unquestioning loyalists whose devotion defies logic.Sian explores the lifecycle of these characters, the wreckage they leave behind, and why integrity is still the only real currency that matters in cannabis. A sharp eyed look at egos, entourages, and the people who mistake charisma for competence.And yes, this one absolutely belongs on the carousel.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.
