In this episode, we sit down with Peter Olander, founder of the drinks company Happie, to talk about building a brand in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the industry.

Peter shares the story behind Happie, how the idea came to life, and the challenges of launching and scaling a beverage company in a space that’s still finding its footing. We discuss product development, consumer trends, and what it takes to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

It’s an insightful conversation about innovation, entrepreneurship, and where infused drinks could be heading in the future. If you’re interested in the business side of cannabis or just curious about the rise of alternative beverages, this is a great listen.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a mix of patient advocacy, strange real-world stories, policy progress, and promising new research.

Macky kicks things off with news of Patient Protect, a new initiative designed to support UK medical cannabis patients who face discrimination in workplaces, housing, and everyday life. It’s a step toward better protection and awareness for patients who still struggle with outdated attitudes.

He also shares a bizarre story from New Zealand where a bag containing cannabis and cash was accidentally donated to a charity shop, leaving staff more than a little surprised when they discovered it among the usual donations.

John brings big news from the United States as Virginia lawmakers reach a deal on a final bill to legalise recreational marijuana sales, potentially moving the state closer to a regulated retail market.

Smee reports on a new UK grant supporting the development of hemp varieties specifically suited to British farming conditions, a move that could help strengthen the country’s agricultural hemp sector.

And Dr. Margaret wraps things up with promising medical research showing that cannabis compounds CBD and CBG may help combat fatty liver disease, adding to the growing body of evidence around the plant’s therapeutic potential.

Another packed episode covering advocacy, science, policy shifts, and the occasional “you couldn’t make it up” moment from around the world.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we’re focusing on the small tools that make a big difference in the grow room. Not the big-ticket items like lights or tents, but the everyday tools growers rely on to keep plants healthy and problems under control.

We talk about the essentials like EC and PPM meters, pH pens, and hygrometers, explaining why accurate measurements can save you a lot of headaches. We also cover practical tools such as pruning snips, LST clips, and other plant training aids that help shape plants and maximise growth.

We discuss the usefulness of a jeweller’s loupe for checking trichomes, along with simple but important gear like watering tools, moisture checks, spray bottles, and sticky traps for early pest detection.

Finally, we touch on one of the most underrated tools of all: keeping a grow journal, and how tracking what happens in your grow can help you improve with every cycle.

A simple but essential episode that highlights the tools every grower should have within arm’s reach if they want smoother, more successful grows.
