Macky: Texas bans hemp-derived THC products, leaving smoke shop owners and customers with questions 

Smee: The risks of cannabis gummies with fake sweet packaging - BBC News 

Billy: A Cannabis Flavonoid Stopped Up to 99% of Cancer-Cell Growth in Lab Tests 

John: Marijuana Has 'Horrific Health Risks' And No Medical Value, Former Trump Attorney General Claims

This week we discuss Texas' decision to ban hemp-derived THC products, exploring what the new law means for businesses, consumers, and the wider hemp industry. We also examine the growing problem of cannabis gummies being sold in packaging that closely resembles popular sweets, and why this continues to raise concerns about child safety and responsible regulation.

Billy brings us an exciting piece of early-stage medical research looking at a cannabis flavonoid that showed remarkable anti-cancer activity in laboratory studies. While the findings are promising, we also discuss why it's important to distinguish between laboratory results and proven medical treatments. Finally, we take a closer look at former US Attorney General Bill Barr's claim that cannabis has "no medical value," comparing those comments with the growing body of scientific evidence and the experiences of patients around the world.

Another packed episode covering cannabis science, policy, medicine, and the stories making headlines across the globe.
