The Weed Episode: When Black Sitcoms Talked About Cannabis

Send us Fan Mail

Let's take a trip back in time. Remember when finding a joint on a sitcom meant somebody was about to learn a VERY important lesson?

On this episode of CashColorCannabis, we take a trip through TV history to revisit six Black sitcoms that used cannabis as a plot point. From Sanford and Son and Moesha to The Wayans Bros., My Wife and Kids, The Hughleys and Everybody Hates Chris, we look at how weed went from something dangerous and taboo to part of the punchline.

What changed, and what did these episodes teach Black audiences about cannabis along the way?
