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.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we discuss one of the most common reasons people turn to medical cannabis, pain relief. We break down the different types of pain people use cannabis for, including chronic pain, inflammation, nerve pain, and muscle discomfort, and talk about how cannabinoids and terpenes may play a role in managing symptoms.

We also cover different consumption methods, from inhalation to edibles and oils, explaining how onset time, duration, and intensity can vary depending on how cannabis is used. We discuss strain selection, cannabinoid balance, dosing considerations, and why finding the right approach is often a personal process of trial and adjustment.

As always, we keep the conversation practical and grounded, focusing on harm reduction, realistic expectations, and helping listeners better understand how cannabis may fit into a pain management routine.

A thoughtful episode aimed at anyone curious about using cannabis more intentionally for comfort, recovery, and quality of life.

In this week’s episode, we mix Grow Guides with a hands-on interview as we sit down with Boudica Seeds to break down how to make feminised seeds at home.

We go through the fundamentals of the process, including how feminisation works, the techniques used to reverse plants, and what to look out for when selecting the right genetics. Boudica Seeds shares practical advice from real breeding experience, explaining how to do it safely, effectively, and without overcomplicating things.

We also talk about common mistakes, stability concerns, and what separates good feminised seeds from unreliable ones, giving you a clearer understanding of the process from start to finish.

It’s a great blend of education and real-world insight. Perfect for growers who want to take the next step into breeding while learning from someone actively doing it.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we tackle a question that catches out growers at all levels, how much light is actually too much?

We break down what happens when plants are pushed beyond their limits, including light stress, bleaching, and stalled growth, and explain why more light doesn’t always mean more yield. It’s all about giving plants what they can actually use, not just blasting them with intensity.

We also cover key concepts like PPFD and DLI, how to recognise early warning signs of too much light, and practical ways to adjust your setup. From light height to dimming, so your plants stay in the sweet spot throughout the grow.

A simple but essential episode that helps you avoid one of the most common mistakes in modern indoor growing, and get the most out of your lighting without frying your plants.

In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Boudica Seeds, a brand new UK-based seed bank, to talk about what it takes to start a breeding company from the ground up.

From selection and breeding techniques to the challenges of building a reputation in a competitive space, it’s a great insight into the world of modern seed production.

We also get into the bigger picture, talking about the current state of cannabis laws in the UK, the role of government, and where things might be heading in terms of potential legalisation.

A relaxed but informative conversation that blends breeding knowledge, business insight, and honest discussion about the future of cannabis in the UK.
