In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we break down some of the most eyebrow-raising headlines from across the scene: Macky opens with a strange one from the skies. Two complete strangers from Birmingham arrested and jailed for the exact same offence on a Thailand flight. He also digs into a new WBUR study claiming there are “few medical benefits” for pain, anxiety, or insomnia.  Billy brings updates from Austria, where CBD flower rules are shifting yet again. These changes could shake up the whole European marketplace, and we break down what it means for consumers and small producers. Margaret covers a mysterious vomiting condition that's just been given an official WHO code after a spike in ER cases. A reminder that regulators and researchers are still scrambling to understand a condition many people have been talking about for years. John wraps things up with a major policy move in the US: a federal health agency preparing to allow CBD coverage under Medicare, boosted by a video posted by Donald Trump. If this goes through, it could shift how millions of Americans access plant-based wellness products. Another packed episode full of global updates, policy turns, and research headlines worth reading between the lines.

In this weeks cannabis news we have 5 stories to cover! Macky has a piece from The Independent tackling the old “you can't get addicted” claim that's been floating around for decades. Time to put the myth in the grinder and talk about what the evidence really shows. Billy follows up with UK Medical Cannabis Awareness Month, where campaigners, clinicians, and industry heads are finally pushing together to build momentum. Big names are talking, but whether anything moves in the UK… well, that's always the question. Margaret brings us a fun one from the research world: smell, not potency, is the best predictor of what people actually choose. Shocking absolutely no one who has ever stuck their nose in a jar and made a decision on instinct. Margaret also looks at Canada and a tourism wave that's waiting to explode, but only if regulators stop tripping over their own shoelaces. There's huge potential, but the rules need to grow up a bit first. And John wraps things up with an unexpected twist in the U.S.: a new GOP-backed bill that aims to reverse the hemp-derived THC ban Trump literally just signed into law. Yes, you read that correctly.  A lively mix this week, science, politics, policy, tourism, and the usual roller-coaster logic that comes with trying to regulate a plant.

Macky brings us a heartfelt BBC story about a patient who uses medical cannabis daily but fears being judged as a “lazy stoner.” A familiar issue… and one the UK still desperately needs to move past. Billy dives into Curaleaf's new partnership with ANTG, a deal that could reshape medical product manufacturing and distribution across the UK. Big players keep moving in, but will it actually help patients? Margaret Covers a Canadian piece asking why, after years of legalization, the public still wants cannabis modernization, and why they feel the government isn't delivering. John rounds things out with major U.S. news: Trump has officially signed a bill that recriminalizes hemp-derived THC products. On top of that, Congress effectively pulled the plug on the hemp market. A massive move that's already sparking controversy. Plenty to unpack, plenty to rant about, and definitely one of those weeks where the headlines tell very different stories depending on which side of the border you're standing on.
