In this no-holds-barred episode, Sian Phillips tackles the misguided martyrdom of the self-medicating crowd who think carrying a card entitles them to sympathy, employment immunity, and budget cannabis on tap.

From misunderstood prescriptions to the real cost of legal medical cannabis in the UK, it’s time for a dose of harsh truth, with a side of sharp wit.

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the moaning masses or been tempted to light up in a staff meeting – this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, Sian uncovers the cringe-worthy timeline of how UK cannabis policy has religiously shadowed the US – even when it made no sense.

From Anslinger to PoCA, we follow the historic game of copycat that turned an evidence-free moral panic into decades of failed policy. Spoiler: there never was any science behind the Misuse of Drugs Act. Just a lot of misplaced loyalty and lazy law-making.

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.

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.

Buckle up for a nose-first dive into the pungent world of terpenes — the aromatic compounds hijacked by wellness warriors and butchered in clinical trials.

In this episode of The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, we unpick the facts from the fluff: what terpenes are, what they do, where else they’re found, and why using them as a placebo is scientifically ridiculous.

Expect sarcasm, truth bombs, and a magnifying glass over the nonsense. If it smells fishy, it probably wasn’t a placebo.

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 sianphillipsconsultancy@gmail.com
  • 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
