Season four is here and I’m easing back in after three weeks that contained both a lot and absolutely nothing.

I was knocked down by the flu, hurt my back and then found myself speaking outside Queensland Parliament about proposed tougher drug-driving penalties. I share why laws that punish the presence of THC, rather than demonstrated impairment, are such an important issue for people taking legally prescribed cannabis.

Then I ask Christina McMullen from the Auscanna Podcast and Grace Ker from Spencer Green a deceptively complicated question: Are you a stoner?

I explore where the lazy, permanently-high stereotype came from, why women may be particularly reluctant to claim the label and how medicalisation has created a divide between the “legitimate patient” and the recreational cannabis consumer.

Also in this episode, Irena from We Are Lux joins me for our new season-four segment, High Design. This week, she introduces the Vessel Element Bubbler—a compact water pipe combining beautiful design, clever engineering and, importantly, easy cleaning.

In Wellness Field Notes, I’ve ordered a vibration plate to investigate the claims around lymphatic drainage and gym recovery. My bullshit detector is making some noise, but I’m curious enough to test it properly and report back.

And, of course, after three weeks away, there’s a dating catch-up.

It’s the Season Three finale, and I’ve changed my mind about a few things.

After a magical girls’ weekend in Byron, 14 hours of talking, laughing, eating and doing absolutely nothing I’ve been thinking about what wellness really looks like and what Canna Curious is actually here to do.

I don’t need you to love cannabis. I don’t even need you to take cannabis. I just want women to be able to ask questions about it without feeling stupid, irresponsible or judged.

In this episode:

• What 539 women told me about cannabis, judgement and healthcare
• Why curiosity, not conversion is the goal
• What 18 months of online dating has taught me
• Why the apps feel like poker machines
• The return of the Spanish man
• Why chicken tikka, a maz and a movie might still be my perfect date

This week, we’re stepping away from prescriptions, legalisation and the latest cannabis research to talk about something a little more whimsical: the joy of making things with our own hands.

In this episode:

• Why handmade gifts can feel more meaningful than purchased ones
• Creativity as ritual, generosity and nervous-system downtime
• The beautiful blankets that reminded me how much care matters
• The story and intention behind Bhang
• Simple ways to bring more making into your life
• Why women can find it so difficult to rest without feeling guilty
• Munchies, motherhood and food as an expression of love
