## Resource

This week on High on Home Grown, we cover a wide range of stories spanning health, policy, hemp innovation, and the ongoing battle for cannabis seed rights. Macky: Using cannabis for sleep isn't harmless – it can trap people in a cycle of dependency Smee: UK Medical Cannabis Specialists Discuss the Rise of CBG | Releaf UK Dr.Margaret: Cannabis foods and flowers face crackdown wave in Europe | Euractiv Sent in by Lob Barmey Billy: Own Story - Can Cornwall Grow Its Own Plastic John: Is this one ok John? Keep Seeds Legal – A Word From ASIGA Sent in by Freenugz In this week's discussion, we look at a new article warning about the potential risks of relying on cannabis for sleep, and whether dependency concerns are being properly balanced against the experiences of people who find genuine relief from insomnia. We also explore the growing interest in CBG, often called the "mother cannabinoid," and why UK medical cannabis specialists are paying closer attention to its therapeutic potential. Dr. Margaret brings news of increasing regulatory pressure on cannabis flowers and cannabinoid products across Europe, while Billy discusses an exciting hemp innovation story examining whether Cornwall could one day produce sustainable plastics from locally grown hemp. Finally, John covers the latest developments in the fight to keep cannabis seeds legal, discussing concerns raised by industry groups about proposed restrictions and what they could mean for breeders, seed banks, and home growers. Another packed episode covering science, medicine, regulation, and the future of cannabis around the world. 🌐 Website: https://highonhomegrown.com💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/sqYGkF4xyQ📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/highonhomegrown
