In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re digging into some serious research, real-world consequences, and important policy movement:
Macky opens with a study shared by Cromag on Discord, looking at cannabis use before and after legalisation in Canada and how it intersects with mental health status. Published in The Lancet Regional Health, it’s a data-heavy piece that adds much-needed context to an often oversimplified debate.
Dr. Margaret follows with another fascinating study suggesting that lifetime cannabis use may be linked to greater cognitive performance in aging populations. Challenging long-held assumptions about long-term effects and brain health.
We also look at reports that “High January” is fuelling a cannabis boom, while experts simultaneously flag potential health concerns. A reminder that growth, access, and responsibility all need to move forward together.
John brings positive news from Mississippi, where lawmakers have approved a bill allowing medical marijuana use in hospitals for terminally ill patients. A meaningful step toward compassion-led healthcare.
And Smee closes with a sobering story from The Independent, where a man suffered life-changing burns following an explosion at a suspected cannabis farm. Something that makes the panel sceptical of this claim!
Another packed episode blending science, policy, progress, and the risks that still come with prohibition-era realities.
