The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense

In this episode, we delve into the labyrinth of cannabis research. From groundbreaking studies to the ones that make you question reality, we sift through the data to separate the enlightening from the downright perplexing.

Expect sharp wit, critical analysis, and a touch of irreverence as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of cannabis science.

Breast cancer isn’t a personality trait, and THC isn’t a cure-all. In this episode, your host Sian dives headfirst into the absurdities of modern healthcare, post-biopsy chaos, and the unsolicited nonsense cancer patients get served daily — especially from the cannabis crowd.

From paper cups as surgical gear to radioactive nipple injections (yes, really), this is a true tale of survival with logic, not lore. Expect sharp wit, hard facts, and a firm but fair slap for every stranger in the DMs shouting “Try RSO!” without knowing the first thing about HER2 negatives, aromatase, or reality.

Cannabis isn’t a religion. And this? This is your sermon in sarcasm.

Event Survival: Sian’s Trade Show Survival Guide

Trade shows aren’t glamorous. They’re caffeine-fuelled obstacle courses filled with dry air, dubious canapés, and overconfident men named Dave.

In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, Sian delivers her wickedly funny survival guide to navigating expos, conferences and cannabis-industry chaos — complete with deodorant hacks, networking truths, and the definitive list of things you will lose along the way.

If you’ve ever left an event with sore feet and three lanyards you didn’t ask for — this one’s for you.

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we sigh, and sometimes we scream into the void (politely). Whether you're a seasoned insider or a weary observer, we want your voice, your wit, and your hard-won truths.

The Feel of the Show

Our tone is humorous, eye-rolling, factual, and just a little bit spiky.

We call out where the sector falls flat, spins fiction, or forgets its purpose entirely.

Think: less cheerleading, more side-eye.

It’s cannabis commentary with a raised eyebrow and a sharp tongue.

What We Need You to Prepare

Before we record, please bring the following to the table:

1. Your Gripe
   1. What’s winding you up in the cannabis sector right now?
   2. A practice, a policy, a person, a pitfall—your call.
2. The Root Cause
   1. What’s driving it?
   2. Bad science?
   3. Worse marketing?
   4. Bureaucracy gone rogue?
   5. Activists running before they can walk?
3. Your Fantasy Fix
   1. In a perfect world where you hold all the cards, how would you put it right?

We’re not looking for perfect answers—we’re looking for honesty, insight, and a bit of bite.

Recording Your Audio

We’ll record the interview via Teams, but to get that lovely, clean audio for the final edit, you’ll also record yourself separately on your smartphone. You don’t need any other equipment other than the smartphone and its built in microphone.

It’s simple, and the result will sound more “thoughtful conversation” and less “budget hostage video.”

Why We Do It

Dual recording means better audio quality. We each record our own end, then we stitch them together at Carousel HQ.

You’ll Need:

• A smartphone with a voice recording app
  • iPhone: Voice Memos
  • Android: Voice Recorder (or similar)
• A quiet space (soft furnishings help—blankets beat bare walls), saying that - we have the technology to get rid of background noises and occasional cars and sirens!

How to Record:

• Before We Start:
  • Open your recording app, hit record just before we begin, and let it run the whole time.
  • Make sure your phone is
    • close,
    • stable,
    • charged (5% battery won’t cut this one!)
    • and not buried under a pile of papers.
• During the Interview:
  • Don’t touch the mic.
  • We’ll record straight through and the editing will be done afterwards - and that’s our turn to do the magic.
• After the Interview:
  • Stop the recording, save it with a clear filename (e.g. JaneGreenhouse_NECCN),
  • and email it to [email protected]
  • Please don’t compress it or send it via WhatsApp—raw audio only, please.

Quick Tips:

• Put your phone on Do Not Disturb so your mate doesn’t ring m

In this episode of The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, our host dons the hi-vis of common sense in a sector that regularly mistakes advice for attack. When you’re the one pointing out the cliff ahead, you’re rarely thanked – especially in an industry where some would rather floor it into regulatory oblivion than tap the brakes.

It’s all about the misunderstood role of compliance guidance. Sian explores the joyless task of being labelled the “fun police” for simply warning people they’re three dodgy invoices away from a Trading Standards probe. She’s not here to ruin your business – she’s here to stop the authorities from doing it first. But hey, if you insist on hurtling toward disaster, don’t expect her to lie under oath to save your backside.

Wince-inducing truths, neurodivergent honesty, and a blunt reminder: just because someone’s waving a red flag doesn’t mean they’re your enemy. Maybe – just maybe – they’re the only one trying to keep you out of court.
