Medical cannabis experts and advocates, Hannah Deacon and Professor Mike Barnes, sit down with their guests to find out why cannabis matters to them.

Stephen Murphy is co-founder and managing director of Prohibition Partners, the leading source of intelligence and insights into the global cannabis industry, as well as co-founding Europe's premier medical cannabis conference, Cannabis Europa.
He began his career in advertising working with brands such as Guinness, Coca-Cola and even a stint selling Ben & Jerry's ice cream, before moving into the cannabis space . But as a lifelong advocate of cannabis legalisation, it has always been more than just a day job.
Stephen talks to Hannah and Mike about how the industry has changed him, from becoming more politically motivated and dealing with negativity, to the privilege of working alongside those he is inspired by and wanting to leave the world in a better place.

Hannah helped change the law in 2018 after her successful campaign to enable her epileptic son Alfie Dingley to be legally prescribed cannabis medicines. She continues to help other families access medical cannabis in the UK. Hannah is also a director of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society and Maple Tree Consultants.
Mike obtained the first medical cannabis license in the UK for Alfie. He has been involved in the efforts to assist many others and is founder of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society along with Maple Tree Consultants.
Join Hannah and Mike as they discover how cannabis has changed their guest’s lives, what makes them tick, why they do what they do and what they think needs to improve for patients.
Forget graphs and commercial outlooks and expect open, honest conversations with those at the heart of the issue.
