High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we cover a mix of emotional stories, tech developments, policy tweaks, and industry growing pains:

Macky has a powerful BBC story about a family who say medical cannabis “cost my brother everything,” raising difficult questions about access, cost, and the realities some patients face under current systems.

John is… well, still cheerleading ;) Smee brings an interesting development as a cannabis breathalyzer moves one step closer to becoming a reality. A piece of tech that could have major implications for law enforcement and roadside testing.

Dr. Margaret reports from Canada, where Ontario is considering allowing cannabis stores to open two hours earlier — a small change on paper, but one that could have a noticeable impact on the retail landscape. Billy takes a look at the Dutch legal cannabis experiment, where 42 violations have been recorded in its first year. We discuss what this means for regulation, rollout challenges, and the future of the programme.

Another packed episode full of real-world impact, evolving tech, and the usual mix of serious and slightly mad stories from around the cannabis world.

In this week’s Grow Guides, episode 85, we discuss cannabis grafting, a technique that allows you to combine multiple plants into one.

We start by explaining what grafting is and how it works, before getting into why growers might want to try it, from preserving genetics to running multiple strains on a single plant. From there, we walk you through a step-by-step grafting guide, covering the tools you’ll need, how to make clean cuts, and how to encourage a successful union between plants. We also go over common mistakes that can ruin a graft, along with practical tips to improve your success rate.

Finally, we ask the big question: is grafting actually worth it? We break down the pros and cons so you can decide if it’s something you want to experiment with in your own grow. Of course we have a healthy dose of listener mail questions too. 

A great episode for growers looking to expand their skills and try something a little different in the garden.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we cover a mix of serious headlines, legal cases, and shifting trends across the cannabis landscape:

Macky begins with a tragic story out of Oldham, where four men lost their lives inside a locked cannabis factory. The incident has been described as “gross incompetence,” raising serious questions about safety, exploitation, and the risks tied to illegal operations.

He also looks at the story of a man dubbed the city’s “cannabis martyr,” whose ongoing fight and repeated arrests continue to spark debate around cannabis laws and personal freedom in the UK.

John is off this week, but the rest of the team keeps things moving.

Smee reports on former justice minister Crispin Blunt, who has been fined for possession of illegal drugs, adding another high-profile case to the ongoing conversation around drug policy and enforcement.

Dr. Margaret brings some interesting data, covering a study suggesting there has been no increase in problematic teen use following cannabis legalisation, challenging a common concern often raised in policy debates.

Billy wraps things up with a more positive development, highlighting Luxembourg’s first at-home cannabis gardening service, offering a new approach for people looking to grow their own in a legal and supported way.

A heavy but important episode this week, touching on safety, law, and how attitudes and systems continue to evolve.

In this week’s Grow Guides, episode 84, we cover some key techniques that can take your grow from decent to dialled in properly.

We start with how to preserve terpenes, looking at what actually causes terpene loss and how to protect those flavours and aromas right through harvest, drying, and curing. Then we break down how to calculate electricity costs, helping you understand exactly what your grow is costing you to run, and where you might be able to save a bit of cash without sacrificing quality.

We also dive into advanced harvest timing, going beyond the basics and discussing how to choose the perfect moment to chop based on desired effects, trichome development, and plant maturity. To finish things off, we talk about dialling in the perfect grow environment, covering the balance between temperature, humidity, airflow, and VPD to create the ideal conditions for healthy, high-yielding plants.

A solid, practical episode packed with tips that can improve both the quality of your harvest and the efficiency of your grow room.
