Trump Finally Reschedules Cannabis? | Influencer Jailed for Smuggling | Study on Children Consuming edibles Because of Packaging | Travel Guidance for Medical Users | Cannabis News 208

This week's episode of High on Homegrown dives into major cannabis policy developments, starting with the Trump administration's announcement to reclassify cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3—a move that could unlock federal research and medical access, though full legalization remains distant. The hosts debate the symbolic nature of the change, the potential for pharmaceutical companies to dominate the market, and the slow, incremental progress toward reform. They then shift to a real-world case of a Glasgow influencer jailed for smuggling 17kg of cannabis, sparking a discussion on justice, gender dynamics, and the disproportionate sentencing compared to other crimes. A New York study reveals that child-resistant packaging laws haven't reduced pediatric cannabis ingestions, highlighting the need for better education and enforcement. Finally, the UK Cannabis Industry Council releases a new travel guide for medical users, emphasizing the importance of checking international laws before flying with cannabis. The hosts express frustration with ongoing legal hurdles, especially for travelers, while remaining cautiously optimistic about long-term progress.
