Imagine how different this next sentence would have looked only 15 years ago. CNN is planning to air a new series about selling weed.
What a beautiful world we're living in in 2014.
The series is called High Profits (I get it!) and it follows a pair of marijuana entrepreneurs who are looking to expand their multimillion dollar business of selling weed in legalized Colorado into a franchise, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Each one-hour episode will delve into the industry and follow the pair as they manage a lucrative chain of retail marijuana stores with an eye for expansion outside of the Colorado market. Following Colorado's legalization of the use and sale of recreational marijuana — the first to do so in the world — sales at the Breckenridge Cannabis Club have grown from a $515,000 business a year business to a $5 million a year operation with 30 employees.
Here's the trailer:

It looks like CNN is eyeing more documentary style programs after the success of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown, which is definitely the best thing on CNN (IMHO).
The show will reportedly premiere some time in 2015.
