Cannabis Planet is an American television program created by Brad Lane with the intent to promote the benefits of marijuana. According to producers, the show covers "the merits of the cannabis plant (medicinally, industrially, agriculturally), and the benefits this plant brings to planet earth, mankind and the United States." The Los Angeles-based program first broadcast in July 2009 on the television station KJLA, which airs throughout most of Southern California.
Cannabis Planet was originally co-hosted by West Coast Cannabis Magazine publisher Ngaio Bealum and medical marijuana activist Sarah Diesel, Seasons 2 & 3 were hosted by Brandon Stone and Jean Marie Tolkien. Season 4 the show took on a high tech look and featured a variety of hosting presenters. The program also features news presenter Patrick Finerty, field reporters Seirah Royin and Dragonfly de la Luz, horticulturist and author Ed Rosenthal as a cannabis expert, and chef Mike Delao to illustrate the preparation of cannabis foods.
The idea of Cannabis Planet came to Brad Lane in May 2009 after he observed an increasing number of advertisements in OC Weekly relating to marijuana and alternative medicine. With some background in television programming (Lane developed The Mammoth Channel, a tourist-oriented program that aired in local hotels), he worked quickly to get the program broadcast just three months later. KDOC-TV aired the first episode in July 2009, but the station "got cold feet", allowing KJLA to continue broadcasting the series.
