## Resource

This week on High on Home Grown, we bring you another round-up of cannabis news from the UK, Europe, North America and beyond, covering cannabis-related crime, driving, regulation, the developing legal markets and some major new research funding.

This week we discuss the tragic consequences of driving under the influence, with a case involving a mother whose life was cut short by a driver who had cannabis in his system. We also look at the Norwich cannabis trial and what the discharge of two defendants means for the case. Billy brings us news from the Netherlands, where the developing regulated cannabis experiment continues to provide an interesting real-world test of what happens when production and supply are brought into a controlled system. Meanwhile, John looks across the Atlantic at the ongoing fight over hemp-derived THC products in the United States, while Dr. Margaret brings us some much more positive news from Canada with a major new investment into cannabis research. Another packed episode of cannabis news, regulation, science, crime and plenty for the panel to get stuck into. 🌐 Website: https://highonhomegrown.com💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/sqYGkF4xyQ📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/highonhomegrown
