No You can't grow your own

Sian tackles one of the UK’s most eyebrow-raising contradictions: the fact that it’s still completely illegal to grow your own cannabis, even for medical use. From the labyrinth of hemp licensing to the theatrical paranoia of the Home Office, this episode takes a dry, sarcastic stroll through Britain’s outdated cannabis laws.

Sian unpacks exactly what it would take to “do it properly” and, unsurprisingly, it involves six-figure budgets, industrial-level security, a stack of compliance documents capable of bruising a small mammal, and the sort of bureaucratic endurance usually reserved for Olympic competition.

If you’ve ever wondered why growing a harmless plant in your own garden is treated like a national security incident, this episode shines a very well-aimed spotlight on the absurdity.
