This week’s news episode is a busy one, covering big shifts in the UK, Canada, and the US, and some pretty heated developments around hemp policy.

Macky brings us a heartfelt BBC story about a patient who uses medical cannabis daily but fears being judged as a “lazy stoner.” A familiar issue… and one the UK still desperately needs to move past.

Billy dives into Curaleaf’s new partnership with ANTG, a deal that could reshape medical product manufacturing and distribution across the UK. Big players keep moving in, but will it actually help patients?

Margaret Covers a Canadian piece asking why, after years of legalization, the public still wants cannabis modernization, and why they feel the government isn’t delivering.

John rounds things out with major U.S. news: Trump has officially signed a bill that recriminalizes hemp-derived THC products. On top of that, Congress effectively pulled the plug on the hemp market. A massive move that’s already sparking controversy.

Plenty to unpack, plenty to rant about, and definitely one of those weeks where the headlines tell very different stories depending on which side of the border you’re standing on.
