New Bill to Reverse Hemp Ban, Already? | Is Cannabis Addictive? We Discuss CUD and Addiction | Canada and Tourism | UK Medial Cannabis Awareness Month | Cannabis News 188

In this weeks cannabis news we have 5 stories to cover! Macky has a piece from The Independent tackling the old “you can’t get addicted” claim that’s been floating around for decades. Time to put the myth in the grinder and talk about what the evidence really shows.

Billy follows up with UK Medical Cannabis Awareness Month, where campaigners, clinicians, and industry heads are finally pushing together to build momentum. Big names are talking, but whether anything moves in the UK… well, that’s always the question.

Margaret brings us a fun one from the research world: smell, not potency, is the best predictor of what people actually choose. Shocking absolutely no one who has ever stuck their nose in a jar and made a decision on instinct.

Margaret also looks at Canada and a tourism wave that’s waiting to explode, but only if regulators stop tripping over their own shoelaces. There’s huge potential, but the rules need to grow up a bit first.

And John wraps things up with an unexpected twist in the U.S.: a new GOP-backed bill that aims to reverse the hemp-derived THC ban Trump literally just signed into law. Yes, you read that correctly. 

A lively mix this week, science, politics, policy, tourism, and the usual roller-coaster logic that comes with trying to regulate a plant.
