High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

Live Q & A With Dan from Legal Growers UK. Can He Get Cannabis Legalised in the UK with his Strategy? Lets Find Out!

In this episode, Macky sits down with Dan from Legal Growers UK for an in-depth discussion about home cultivation, cannabis law, and the future of reform in the UK.

Dan joins us to explain the goals of Legal Growers UK, the arguments for allowing adults to grow their own plants, and some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding home cultivation. We explore the current legal landscape, discuss the challenges facing campaigners, and examine how home growing could fit into a sensible regulatory framework.

Along the way, we tackle some difficult questions, challenge assumptions from both sides of the debate, and look at what real-world reform could mean for growers, patients, and the wider public. Whether you're interested in cultivation, policy, personal freedoms, or simply want to understand the arguments being made for change, this conversation offers plenty of food for thought.

Over 90% of Patients Claim Cannabis Has Helped Them | Cannabis Blamed for Violent Mans Murder of Friend | Japan Bans CBN | Changed to Gun Owners Form in the USA | Cannabis News 213

Here are the stories we covered in this weeks show:

Macky:  How paranoia led to the death of a 93-year-old in Desborough - BBC News 

Smee: 98% of UK mental health patients report improvement from medical cannabis - leafie

Three jailed after former nightclub converted into cannabis farm - BBC News 

Dr.Margaret:  Japan Health Ministry Announces Ban On Cannabinol 

John: New Changes To ATF Gun Form Put Medical Marijuana Patients On The Path To Restored Second Amendment Rights (Op-Ed)

We start off by covering a story showing that over 90% of people using cannabis for mental health issues say it has worked great for them. We then move on to a story claiming that cannabis-induced rage caused a man to beat his 92-year-old friend to death... even though the man had a long history of violent convictions. Guess which of those stories was covered by the mainstream media?!

Margaret tells us about the banning of CBN in Japan, and we discuss how that could affect THC, considering CBN is essentially a degraded form of THC. John brings a story about changes to gun ownership forms in the USA, arguing that with cannabis being rescheduled, restrictions on medical cannabis patients may no longer be appropriate. Finally, Smee tells us about three men in the UK who have been jailed for growing cannabis.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

The Final Grow Guides of Season 2 – Growing Cannabis Is Easier Than You Think | Grow Guides Finale

In this week’s episode, we wrap up Season 2 of Grow Guides with a relaxed but important conversation about the reality of growing cannabis at home, and why it’s nowhere near as complicated as many people think.

We give a simple overview of the growing process from seed to harvest, touching on the key stages growers need to understand while also reminding listeners that perfection is not required to grow good cannabis. Too many new growers get overwhelmed by information online, worrying about every little detail before they’ve even planted a seed.

The truth is, cannabis wants to grow. Most of the learning comes from actually getting started, making mistakes, and improving one grow at a time. We talk about building confidence, keeping things simple, and not being afraid to jump in and learn through experience.

It’s a positive and encouraging end to the season, aimed especially at newer growers who might still be sitting on the fence about starting their first grow.

A huge thank you to everybody who has supported Grow Guides throughout Season 2. We appreciate every listener, every question, and every member of this amazing community. We’ll be back soon for the next season!

We also have a special livestream coming up with Dan! It will take place on Wednesday 3rd June at 10pm UK time, live on our YouTube channel. We need you guys there to help us challenge Dan’s ideas and find arguments against some of his points, so it should make for a really interesting discussion.

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

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! 

Listener Mail Special! To Till or not to Till? | When is Curing Done? | How Dry is too Dry? | Best Strains Ever? Ideal Grow Set Up | USA Seeds Restrictions + Many More!

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.

How to Save a Damaged Cannabis Plant | Cannabis Grow Guides, Episode 90

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 😄

Tom Sadira, Author of a Cannabis Related Sci-Fi Series of Books!

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.

How to Use Cannabis for Pain Relief | Smoking, Vaping Edibles and Salves, What's Works the Best? | Grow Guides Ep. ?

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.
