Podcasts / other good sources of information

[highchome]

I randomly (*) came across https://www.periodiceffects.com, while I've not listened to any of them yet they are apparently really good. Especially the science of cannabis episodes (episode numbers: 6, 12, 19, 24, 26, 34, 39, 45, 50, 51, 61, 75, 82, 83).

Are there other podcasts / videos that you like that are worth sharing? (I'm assuming we all know about 420TUBE...). 

Thanks

The Adam Dunn show has been around for some time now. Always good discussions. In depth

 

Cannacribs also a good show I picked up on lately. Interesting to see how the big ops in the states are operating

Hey @highchome

I'm Shane, the owner, and host of the CHG podcast. Thanks for including my URL link in your list of cannabis podcasts. I'm a newer grower like a lot of members on 420SA, like my growing ability, my podcast needs improvement but in time it will be better. 

[highchome]

@CheapHomeGrow nice! Welcome. I've recently finished listening to all your podcasts about growing in coco (with Dr MJ Coco), it was a *really* nice addition to the info on cocoforcannabis.com. And I've just finished repotting all my plants into coco . So thanks for the podcast, it has already been great.

@highchome thanks a lot for your listenership and interest in the podcast. I very much appreciate that. Dr. MJ is a very smart guy and def. knows his stuff. I''m glad you got benefit. How did you find my podcast? Let me know how I can improve my show in the future. I'm always looking for ways to get better!

That's awesome, thank you. How's growing in South Africa?

@CheapHomeGrow I'm pretty new to it, so others here can probably answer with more detail. What I'd say that we are in a slightly weird position as the courts ruled a few months back that growing cannabis for "personal use" is legal. The government now needs to amend the laws to define what precisely that means. So we are currently legally allowed to grow cannabis but not buy or sell anything. I think selling seeds is a grey area.
The big problem is that the deciding if it is for personal use or not seems to be up the police's discretion, i.e. they can arrest you and then the court can throw the case out. We've seen some ridiculous arrests recently, e.g. anything grow indoors with lights is called a "drugs lab", or pictures of them weighing the leaves and talking about the street value as if that is what is sold 

Despite this I'd say that growing is going quite well. There are a number of specialist shops already and there seems to be a general change in public opinion. There are also some comercial grows starting up so I guess that is sometime too. I'm pretty sure most of us hobby growers will continue growing whatever and hopefully the police start backing off.

Wow, and I thought our laws were crazy... I heard it was pretty lawless over there.

This is a bit off topic for the thread , but...

Not sure about that. I think in this case so far it is actually a win for us in terms of law. The constitutional court ruled that the current laws were not reasonable and needed changing. Its up the the government to draft laws and the constitutional court ensures they are constitutional. We are now just in weird place waiting for the actual laws to be drafted, and hoping that they are sane rather than triggering another round of legal fights. But that bit is all very lawfull 

The problem is the police not understanding the ruling. Hopefully they get educated soon, but I think it is pretty common world wide for the police to be a little resistant to being educated...
