The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense

The Women’s Institute of Cannabis: What You Can Do with Hemp and a Pickling Pan

Sian Phillips Season 2 Episode 1

What do jam, Jerusalem, and hemp have in common? Apparently, everything.

In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, Sian Phillips takes you deep into the world of the Women’s Institute – the unlikely heroines of Britain’s quiet cannabis revolution. Armed with pickling pans, passive-aggressive crochet, and decades of no-nonsense organising skills, these women are preserving far more than fruit.

Join us for a sharply observed, cheeky salute to the power of hemp, home economics, and how the WI might just be the secret weapon for a smarter, greener, more herbal future.

From hempseed flapjacks to subversive skincare, this is the cannabis conversation you didn’t know you needed.
