High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a mix of patient advocacy, strange real-world stories, policy progress, and promising new research.

Macky kicks things off with news of Patient Protect, a new initiative designed to support UK medical cannabis patients who face discrimination in workplaces, housing, and everyday life. It’s a step toward better protection and awareness for patients who still struggle with outdated attitudes.

He also shares a bizarre story from New Zealand where a bag containing cannabis and cash was accidentally donated to a charity shop, leaving staff more than a little surprised when they discovered it among the usual donations.

John brings big news from the United States as Virginia lawmakers reach a deal on a final bill to legalise recreational marijuana sales, potentially moving the state closer to a regulated retail market.

Smee reports on a new UK grant supporting the development of hemp varieties specifically suited to British farming conditions, a move that could help strengthen the country’s agricultural hemp sector.

And Dr. Margaret wraps things up with promising medical research showing that cannabis compounds CBD and CBG may help combat fatty liver disease, adding to the growing body of evidence around the plant’s therapeutic potential.

Another packed episode covering advocacy, science, policy shifts, and the occasional “you couldn’t make it up” moment from around the world.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we’re focusing on the small tools that make a big difference in the grow room. Not the big-ticket items like lights or tents, but the everyday tools growers rely on to keep plants healthy and problems under control.

We talk about the essentials like EC and PPM meters, pH pens, and hygrometers, explaining why accurate measurements can save you a lot of headaches. We also cover practical tools such as pruning snips, LST clips, and other plant training aids that help shape plants and maximise growth.

We discuss the usefulness of a jeweller’s loupe for checking trichomes, along with simple but important gear like watering tools, moisture checks, spray bottles, and sticky traps for early pest detection.

Finally, we touch on one of the most underrated tools of all: keeping a grow journal, and how tracking what happens in your grow can help you improve with every cycle.

A simple but essential episode that highlights the tools every grower should have within arm’s reach if they want smoother, more successful grows.

In this episode we sit down with Cefyn Jones, founder of The Hemp Hound Agency, to talk about the current state of the cannabis and hemp industry in the UK.

Cefyn shares his experience working within the sector, explaining the challenges businesses face, the opportunities that still exist, and how the industry continues to evolve despite complicated regulations and slow-moving policy. We discuss how there is still a lot of corruption in the cannabis industry and still so much to fix in so may ways.  

It’s an insightful conversation about where the UK industry stands right now, where it might be heading, and what needs to change for it to truly grow.

If you’re curious about the business side of cannabis in the UK, this is a great conversation with someone who’s right in the middle of it.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we cover a mix of heartfelt tributes, strange crime stories, new research, and policy changes happening across the world.

Macky starts with the launch of a campaign in memory of a mother who played an important role in changing the UK’s medical cannabis laws. It’s a powerful reminder of the real people behind the push for reform and the lasting impact their work continues to have.

John brings a lighter scientific story, as researchers reveal what kinds of food people tend to crave when the infamous “munchies” kick in. The results might not be too surprising, but the science behind it is fascinating.

Smee reports on a bizarre criminal case from Blackpool, where a drugs gang reportedly dressed as police officers in order to raid cannabis farms. A story that sounds almost unbelievable, but highlights how far organised groups will go.

Dr. Margaret discusses a new study suggesting cannabis could help people who are trying to reduce their alcohol consumption, adding to the growing conversation around harm reduction and lifestyle changes.

And Billy rounds things off with news from Malta, where authorities have updated the cannabis club regulations to allow clubs to store up to 3.5kg on site, a notable shift in how the country manages its legal social club system.

Another packed episode covering research, reform, and the strange stories that keep the cannabis world interesting.

In this week’s Grow Guides episode, we take an honest look at the realities of growing at home. The things people don’t always talk about before starting their first setup.

We break down the true cost of growing, from equipment and electricity to the hidden expenses that can creep in over time. We also discuss the time commitment required to properly care for plants, and why growing isn’t quite as “set and forget” as some people might think.

The conversation also moves into practical considerations like managing noise, smell, and privacy, especially for growers trying to keep things discreet at home. From loud extraction fans to odour control, these are factors every grower needs to plan for.

We also discuss burnout and over-scaling, a common trap where growers expand too quickly and end up overwhelmed, and we finish by exploring the mental side of growing, the patience, discipline, and mindset that help turn a stressful grow into an enjoyable and rewarding one.

This episode is all about keeping expectations realistic and helping growers build setups they can actually manage long term.
