The business of cannabis in California – The Green Room

In this very special episode of the Green Room, the L.A. Times’ video series focusing on California’s cannabis commerce and culture, we’re highlighting the commerce side of things by revisiting some of the important business stories featured over the past three seasons.

Buckle up as we wind our way from Northern California to the plains of Oklahoma. Along the way, we’ll pop in on pipe makers, weed growers and glass blowers, visit a speak-easy-themed dispensary and do time at a prison-turned-pot-farm.

    Just finding this series now. I’m definitely a fan – hoping this isn’t one of those situations where I found you right after you decided to stop making content. That seems to happen a lot to me. Haha.

    In love with how Josephine Billies is set up so perfectly. Everything is labeled and it’s so perfect for people who use the plant for anxiety purposes.♡♡♡

  12. @jtmunn4496 on June 17, 2024 at 5:47 pm

    True pot heads that actually care about this country will stay as far away from all of these places shown in the video. God doesnt mind you using cannabis but he is highly against gay sex.

    i really don’t like this host



  28. @mattster197 on June 17, 2024 at 6:00 pm

    That by and for women of color thing is bothersome. Why are blacks trying to segregate the market in so many ways? White hatred?? to me this is bigotry.



  29. @KenzenVaz on June 17, 2024 at 6:01 pm

    So anyone can grow in county

    A ”healthier’ and better system for all and my country to adapt too, thanks.



  34. @basic_r on June 17, 2024 at 6:06 pm

    If the owners of "Josephines and Billies" aren’t related to either of the performers, they’re just getting rich off of someone else’s names with no originality. Plus, they’re sexist as f***. Won’t catch me in that store with all the other options. I’m definitely not wanted in there based on how they’ve been talking.



  35. @midwestoutlaw3194 on June 17, 2024 at 6:08 pm

    Seeing the guys from Proto pipe was by far the best part ✌️



  36. @Freedom-dj2bi on June 17, 2024 at 6:08 pm

    👍🏾



  37. @Asian_American_Christian_Love on June 17, 2024 at 6:11 pm

  38. @luciano14823 on June 17, 2024 at 6:14 pm

    In quasi mezzo mondo e diventata legale ho addirittura una pianta curativa in italia e droga secondo me non e droga e l’Italia che malatta hanno qualche serio problema



  39. @iainmacleod3593 on June 17, 2024 at 6:16 pm

    Why not uses copper wire in the soil to help grow the hemp outside plants quicker and bigger from the benefits of electro culture



  40. @AntonyAvila-kn6gp on June 17, 2024 at 6:16 pm

    🤑



  41. @timpage5021 on June 17, 2024 at 6:18 pm

    No wonder price per pound in Oklahoma is a 25 cents a gram



  42. @djb8816 on June 17, 2024 at 6:18 pm

    Decent video for sure, but the audio levels need adjustment



  43. @paulglenn3200 on June 17, 2024 at 6:18 pm

    looks like a chad, talks like a chad, walks like a chad… probably a…



  44. @stevenjohnson8736 on June 17, 2024 at 6:19 pm

    I just love watching these YouTube video about marijuana while im HIGH on recreational marijuana 😃



  45. @williambock1821 on June 17, 2024 at 6:19 pm

    That Oklahoma lady in black is scary. There will always be cannabis prisoners. Just like there’s people in prison for selling moonshine.



  46. @matthewgrange7554 on June 17, 2024 at 6:20 pm

    Buy weed from whoever makes the best weed! Keep ‘ism’s out of Cannabis!



  47. @paulglenn3200 on June 17, 2024 at 6:23 pm

    those plants are looking crazy lol



  48. @mikeneidlinger8857 on June 17, 2024 at 6:27 pm

    I don’t like this legal product at an illegal price. I’m in Washington State and everyone buys off the black market because it’s cheaper. You need cultivation with the legality so you can produce your own at a good price. We don’t have cultivation in Washington State.



  49. @jtmunn4496 on June 17, 2024 at 6:28 pm

    This guy drank all of the gay kool-aid. Why do you people still think black folks have it worse than you? They get out of life what they put into life same as everyone else. His racism is showing and he doesnt even know it.



  50. @_TheRam on June 17, 2024 at 6:30 pm

    Charlie and his cannabis factory 🙂 :
