Macky covers troubling reports from California where minors were found among suspected illegal immigrants during a raid on a cannabis farm. He also looks into the impact of super-strength cannabis on UK streets, and how it's reportedly linked to a growing wave of violent crime.

Margaret explores how alcohol sales have shifted in Canada since marijuana was legalized, offering insights into changing consumption habits and potential public health implications.

Billy gives us an overview of cannabis legality across Europe, highlighting where marijuana is currently legal, decriminalized, or still strictly prohibited.

John breaks down two new studies—one surprising scientists with its findings on medical cannabis and insomnia, and another federally funded U.S. study showing significant reductions in anxiety and depression for medical cannabis users.

Join us for the full breakdown and discussion on what these stories mean for cannabis consumers, patients, and the global industry.

We explain how to prevent and treat root rot in different grow mediums like soil, coco, and hydro. You’ll learn how to spot early signs of trouble, fix overwatering or poor drainage issues, maintain proper pH and oxygen levels, and use beneficial microbes or enzymes to keep roots strong.
