High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with author Tom Sadira, creator of a unique cannabis-inspired sci-fi series that blends futuristic storytelling with cannabis culture, philosophy, and imagination. We talk about how Tom got started as a writer, where the inspiration for the series came from, and how cannabis has influenced his creative process and world building. The conversation moves through science fiction, culture, creativity, and the challenges of writing original stories in a crowded genre.

We of course also go on some tangents about "back in the day" and how movies used to have some crazy stuff in them that was not appropriate for our age bracket back then! Tom also shares insights into his characters, themes, and the deeper ideas explored throughout the books, making this a really interesting chat for both cannabis enthusiasts and sci-fi fans alike.

A fun and thoughtful interview about creativity, storytelling, and building entirely new worlds from a single idea. Perfect listening if you enjoy imaginative conversations and something a little different from the usual grow talk.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we discuss one of the most common reasons people turn to medical cannabis, pain relief. We break down the different types of pain people use cannabis for, including chronic pain, inflammation, nerve pain, and muscle discomfort, and talk about how cannabinoids and terpenes may play a role in managing symptoms.

We also cover different consumption methods, from inhalation to edibles and oils, explaining how onset time, duration, and intensity can vary depending on how cannabis is used. We discuss strain selection, cannabinoid balance, dosing considerations, and why finding the right approach is often a personal process of trial and adjustment.

As always, we keep the conversation practical and grounded, focusing on harm reduction, realistic expectations, and helping listeners better understand how cannabis may fit into a pain management routine.

A thoughtful episode aimed at anyone curious about using cannabis more intentionally for comfort, recovery, and quality of life.

In this week’s episode, we mix Grow Guides with a hands-on interview as we sit down with Boudica Seeds to break down how to make feminised seeds at home.

We go through the fundamentals of the process, including how feminisation works, the techniques used to reverse plants, and what to look out for when selecting the right genetics. Boudica Seeds shares practical advice from real breeding experience, explaining how to do it safely, effectively, and without overcomplicating things.

We also talk about common mistakes, stability concerns, and what separates good feminised seeds from unreliable ones, giving you a clearer understanding of the process from start to finish.

It’s a great blend of education and real-world insight. Perfect for growers who want to take the next step into breeding while learning from someone actively doing it.
