Greg De Hoedt UKCSC Greg explains the background of the UKCSC and how the organisation supports the right to grow and helps people who want to run a cannabis club to have a place to go and socialise. He explains the different kinds of clubs. And Greg believes that cannabis social clubs can be an important part of community life as for many patients like himself who are prescribed pharmaceutical drugs it can make them withdrawn and cut off. Sometimes a club can be a good solution for social & therapeutic reasons. To help people start clubs the UKCSC have a structure and legal team who will support members who follow the club's rules and guidance. Greg claims that seven of the UK's police authorities are open to discuss and permit cannabis social clubs if certain procedures are followed.

Finally Greg discusses what he thinks will happen in the next five years in respect to cannabis laws in the UK Adam Modular Growth Modular Growth are a hyrdoponic lighting company that specialises in a modular system. which is a bit like meccano for hydroponic lighting. Adam believes they are the first company to do a 3 dimensional lighting system. which outputs light suitable for grow or flower. The lighting unit emits 5 spectrums of light temperature E.g. warm, red, cold white, 2 blue colours. The system is both modular and app/ cloud based so users can upload settings that have worked well for different plants. It is constructed around 1 metre strips connected at 45 degrees using mounted rails so the user can connect them to create cubes. Adam shares how it is possible to create sun rise to sunset in a fading time of your choice. So it replicates realistic sun rise and sunset and can this based on times of year. 1 cubic metre generates 336 watts of 3 dimensional light. A university is currently doing a thesis on the modular lighting unit and will calculate energy costs for the unit. When asked about what he thought about this years Product Earth festival. Adam said its "The Way Forward" Full show notes – https://cannamachine.co.uk/ep010-uk-cannabis-social-clubs-ukcsc-modular-growth
