CEOs and marketing experts weigh in on how cannabis companies are winning over a more casual customer through branding. When it comes to marijuana, millennials may be the last generation of Americans to grow up when Amsterdam still had a whiff of the mystical.

As cannabis brands shift their marketing to appeal to a broader, more casual consumer base, the industry is evolving beyond stereotypical imagery, reflecting changing societal attitudes and expanding market opportunities. This transformation is significant for both consumers seeking more relatable branding and for the industry aiming to grow responsibly and inclusively.
