Callum Jones, Canncare, Protecting UK Cannabis Patients

In this interview, we chat with Callum Jones, the founder and CEO of a UK-based company called Canncare. Though medical cannabis is legal in the UK, patients still face the risk of being evicted from their homes or losing their jobs for using it! Even though they follow all the necessary guidelines and jump through all the necessary hoops, they can still suffer simply because of their use of a legal medicine. Callum and his company, Canncare, are working to change that. They are helping UK medical cannabis patients fight back against unjust treatment due to their use of a completely legal medicine.

Roll a few fat ones, chill out for an hour or so, and check out this episode. It’s a good one and gives you some insight into how messed up the medical cannabis situation is in the UK, even though it has been legal for over 6 years! I hope you enjoy the episode.

OKCalyxx joins us on High on Home Grown for the first time, and we had a great conversation. Though OKCalyxx specializes in organic growing and KNF, we didn’t speak much about growing cannabis this time around. Instead, we got to know each other a little and discussed some random things, like his time in the UK, his studies at college, some politics, some religion, and some great life lessons and philosophy too!

I really enjoyed this conversation and hope you guys do as well. You can find out more about OKCalyxx on his website or one of his many social media accounts—just do a search for "OKCalyxx" and you’ll find him. In the meantime, roll a fat one and enjoy this interview with our new friend, OKCalyxx!
