Podcast: Hemp growing challenges in the UK

The United Kingdom is considered one of the world’s leading medicinal cannabis growers. Today’s podcast guest is Dr Callie Seaman, research director at Aqualabs Ltd , a UK-based company dedicated to creating high-performance plant fertilisers and plant health products. Callie shares the personal story of how she initially got involved in the medicinal cannabis world to become the cannabis scientist and advocate she is today. With Jon Bruford, CBD-Intel’s podcast editor, Callie deep-dives into the UK’s position on cannabis legalisation and its compounds, and discusses some of the key questions around hemp growing in the UK.
