Legalisation Backlash Claims, Hemp Rule Changes, Essex Gang Sentenced & Prehistoric Cannabis Breakthrough | Cannabis News 199

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a mix of criticism, policy changes, crime reports, and some fascinating scientific developments:

Macky opens with headlines warning that legalisation may have been a “big mistake,” as some health experts claim to be seeing worse outcomes. We take a closer look at the claims and the wider context behind the narrative. John brings news from the US, where a new Farm Bill proposal from a GOP committee chair aims to reduce regulatory burdens on the hemp industry. A move that could significantly affect producers, retailers, and the wider market.

Smee reports on a major operation uncovered in Essex, where Albanian gang members have been jailed following the discovery of a large-scale cannabis grow. Another reminder of how organised crime continues to thrive in prohibition-driven markets. Dr. Margaret covers a strange aviation incident after British Airways crew members were reportedly taken to hospital following exposure to cannabis, raising questions about how the situation unfolded.

And Billy wraps things up with a fascinating piece of science, as researchers successfully revived ancient cannabis enzymes. Potentially opening the door to new medical compounds and future therapeutic uses.

Another packed episode covering the criticism, the progress, the science, and the strange stories shaping the cannabis conversation this week.
