Bud Empire - Season 1

After eight years in business, Bob Kay's medical marijuana dispensary is put on notice by city hall who wants to shut it down.

Too busy to grow himself, Bob invites pot entrepreneur Jo Le to partner with him on a federal grow license to produce unlimited amounts of weed for retail sale, but they need to find a warehouse big enough to suit their ambitions.

Bob and his team head to Vancouver for the 420 Festival, where Bob hopes to sell $15,000 worth of pot edibles, including brownies, cookies and lemonade.

Bob attends a Christmas charity event with his family, but Santa doesn't want to be associated with anyone who promotes marijuana; Tanner tries to come up with a smooth oil; the team puts too much cannabis oil in a new batch of treats.

With the city of Kelowna threatening to shut down his store, Bob and Christie head to a nearby city to open another dispensary; lollipops go missing at the store and everyone is a suspect; Christie contemplates when and how to ask Bob for a raise.

Bob takes his mom car shopping; Shatterday, a marijuana concentrate is flying off the shelves; pot entrepreneur Jo Le offers to sell Bob his licensed retail store in Vancouver's prime shopping district.

Bob and his 16-year-old son Kaleb visit Lift, a high-end pot conference in Toronto, and get a giddy eyeful of the multi-billion-dollar recreational market looming on the horizon. They also tour the sprawling grow op at Tweed, Canada's largest publicly traded pot company, where it's clear that big business has already taken over the industry. Undaunted, Bob goes to Vancouver, to make an offer on Jo's flagship Robson Street location. But can he get Jo to come down from his $5 million asking price?
