Telegraphing Punches

In this episode of The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, our host dons the hi-vis of common sense in a sector that regularly mistakes advice for attack. When you’re the one pointing out the cliff ahead, you’re rarely thanked – especially in an industry where some would rather floor it into regulatory oblivion than tap the brakes.It’s all about the misunderstood role of compliance guidance. Sian explores the joyless task of being labelled the “fun police” for simply warning people they’re three dodgy invoices away from a Trading Standards probe. She’s not here to ruin your business – she’s here to stop the authorities from doing it first. But hey, if you insist on hurtling toward disaster, don’t expect her to lie under oath to save your backside.Wince-inducing truths, neurodivergent honesty, and a blunt reminder: just because someone’s waving a red flag doesn’t mean they’re your enemy. Maybe – just maybe – they’re the only one trying to keep you out of court.Send us a messageSupport the showThe Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense is written and produced by Sian Phillips.Music by PlayDays2021, licensed royalty-free via Adobe.All opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the host and any guests, and do not necessarily reflect those of any affiliated organisations.This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, regulatory, legal, or financial advice.You can find “The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music Podcasts. © 2025 Sian Phillips.
