High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

Here are the stories we cover in this weeks show:

Macky:  Warnings the medicinal cannabis industry could turn deadly without tougher regulation | ITV News Channel 

Smee: Police defend decision to dismantle another Leicester cannabis grow | Leicestershire Live 

Dr.Margaret: Marijuana Can Play A Role In Combating Obesity, Contrary To Stereotypes About Lazy Stoners With The Munchies, New Federally Funded Study Suggests

Billy: UK Medical Cannabis Imports Hit 30 Tonnes as Canadian Producers Bypass European Processors 

John: Federal Judge Dismisses Anti-Marijuana Groups’ Lawsuit Challenging Medicare Hemp Coverage Program

We have some propaganda as usual, where it is claimed medical cannabis can turn deadly if its not properly regulated! Ridiculous! Also, we see evidence that cannabis can help reduce obesity, regardless of the stereotypical Munches it gives us. Police in the UK defend their actions of taking down a cannabis grow, amongst backlash from social media messages. The UK has imported over 30 tonnes of cannabis form Canada! And some USA cannabis company is making it harder for new people to join the industry! 

Lots going on in the world of cannabis news! I hope you enjoy the episode!

In this week’s Listener Mail episode, we answer a huge range of questions from the amazing High on Home Grown community, covering everything from soil health and trichome production to dream grow setups and the future of cannabis laws in the USA.

We discuss compacted living soil and how to keep soil healthy throughout a grow, whether growers ever find that one “perfect strain” they’d be happy with forever, and what our ultimate no-budget dream grow rooms would look like. We also get into the possible implications of proposed cannabis seed restrictions in the US, and whether the industry is slowly being pushed toward a pharmaceutical-only future.

There are also questions about curing and storing cannabis properly, favourite things to do while high, essential pieces of grow equipment every grower should own, and whether freshly dried bud can sometimes hit harder than fully cured flower.

FreeNuggz came loaded with questions this week too, sparking discussions about boosting trichome production late in flower, using fan leaves for nutrition, how to tell when autoflowers are truly finished, maintaining living soil over multiple runs, and some seriously stoned theories involving light cycles before harvest 😄

As always, it’s a laid-back, informative, and hilarious episode full of grow knowledge, cannabis culture, and the random tangents that Listener Mail episodes are famous for.

Here are the new stories we covered this week:

Macky:  Cannabis: it’s medicine if you’re rich enough – a crime if you’re not 

Smee: Navigating Medical Cannabis Access: A Family's Journey Through UK Prescribing Challenges - Hemp Gazette 

Billy:  Bedrocan announced the launch of Bedromed, a new range of products designed to offer its pharmaceutical grade cannabinoids in more modern forms of administration. 

John: CBD Holds Potential As An ‘Anticancer Agent’ For Dogs, New Scientific Review Concludes

We start off with John bringing us a story about how CBD can help treat cancer in dogs.... and humans, but the focus is more on dogs than humans, for some reason ( to avoid pharma flags most likely). Then Smee tells us about the struggles families in the UK have to go through to get medicine for their children, and highlights the struggle of Hannah Deacon and her family.

Billy then tells use about some new cannabis application methods available to patients soon, and how it can benefit certain patients. Finally, Macky tells us about the problems of the prices of cannabis medicine in the UK, and how it affects people in different class brackets. If you can pay the fee, you're good to go, if you cant, you're a  criminal! 

Some great news stories, and great discussion, I hope you all enjoy the episode.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we focus on how to rescue and recover damaged cannabis plants when things don’t go to plan.

We cover the most common types of plant damage growers run into, including broken branches, nutrient burn, light stress, deficiencies, heat damage, overwatering, and transplant shock. More importantly, we explain how to identify the real cause of the problem before making things worse by overreacting.

We also discuss recovery techniques, when plants can bounce back surprisingly well, and when it’s better to stop chasing perfection and simply let the plant heal naturally. From environmental fixes to pruning decisions and stress reduction, this episode is all about practical solutions and realistic expectations.

A must-listen for any grower who’s looked at a struggling plant and thought, “Have I completely ruined this?” Chances are… probably not 😄

In this episode, we sit down with author Tom Sadira, creator of a unique cannabis-inspired sci-fi series that blends futuristic storytelling with cannabis culture, philosophy, and imagination. We talk about how Tom got started as a writer, where the inspiration for the series came from, and how cannabis has influenced his creative process and world building. The conversation moves through science fiction, culture, creativity, and the challenges of writing original stories in a crowded genre.

We of course also go on some tangents about "back in the day" and how movies used to have some crazy stuff in them that was not appropriate for our age bracket back then! Tom also shares insights into his characters, themes, and the deeper ideas explored throughout the books, making this a really interesting chat for both cannabis enthusiasts and sci-fi fans alike.

A fun and thoughtful interview about creativity, storytelling, and building entirely new worlds from a single idea. Perfect listening if you enjoy imaginative conversations and something a little different from the usual grow talk.
