I’ll put together a summary video and share the notes from my recent trip to Thailand soon. With multiple cannabiz industry events, farm, facility and dispensary visits - it was a wild adventure! There’s a few super interesting insights that I’m excited to share with you. But for right now, I’m recovering on the couch, cuddling my dogs, and wanted to share some nice snaps from the Nou Frontiers event. A huge thank you to @sonny_cultivators for hosting such an insightful and connecting event! 💚🙏🏻 ☝️ | #ChurchillFellow | #Agronomy | #Hemp | #NewZealand | #Aotearoa | #Australia | #Research | #CommercialCannabis | #Pharmaceuticals | #PuroNZ | #KiwiGrown | #Fellowship | #IndicatedTechnology | #CannabisIndustry | #AustralianIndustry | #NZIndustry | #Commerce | #Medicine

Keeping busy in 2026 😅😂! I’m proud to have been selected as a judge for the @cannabiz.au awards! 💚🙏🏻 I’m excited to work with colleagues to highlight the incredible work of Australian and New Zealand cannabis industry. Obviously the industry needs a few major changes, but that shouldn’t prevent us from celebrating the success of our peers achieving their goals. Applications are open now. Website in my stories 💚🙏🏻

Stoked to get back to the UK and share a few yarns about our local cannabis #farmers and community. I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be speaking at @cannabis.europa London 2026. Europe’s cannabis landscape is evolving rapidly — from Germany’s adult-use framework to the UK’s expanding medical market — and I’m looking forward to joining some of the sharpest minds in the industry to discuss what comes next, and how this can influence our domestic market in Australia and New Zealand.

SWIPE ➡️ From our paradise to you, the @puronz flower and rosin is grown and processed in a very special part of the world. We’ve just finished harvest and I couldn’t be prouder of the team. Our farm is special. It’s powerful. It’s also ridiculously sunny. Come visit our farm next summer and see why New Zealand cannabis grows differently. #MarlboroughNZ #OrganicCannabis #OrganicRosin #oceangrown

A few tips and tricks for #transplanting into #livingsoil using air-pruning pots. A powerful solution for #indoorgardens or #outdoortrees. I hope this is helpful! Let me know your thoughts or questions in the comments! 💚🌿🙏🏻

Hello Internet. A little #gardening video sharing some #knowledge I’ve gained from study, Italian neighbours and many #tomato plants. This method, for me, is the best mix of practical, high #yielding, long #growing season and not too labour intensive. There’s a lot of tomatotechniques, but this is my favorite 💚🌿🍅

Two of the most powerful moments of my career. 1. 2024 - Standing with the #Thai police officer, smoking a joint in a freshly legalised Thailand. A surreal moment. 2. 2017 - Presenting #plantscience workshops at music festivals all over Australia. Some of the best connections, both personal and professional that have lasted to this day. This industry can be a wild rollercoaster. Often it can be difficult. But you’ve gotta enjoy the great times when they happen! @houseandgardennutrients @stealthgarden @puronz @earth_frequency

Want a look #behindthescenes at @puronz during our recent Field Day? Our team put in serious mahi (work) to make this event really special for those that were able to visit our #organic #farm in #NewZealand. Another conference this week in #Australia will definitely be a good chance to see our friends and family in the industry! 💚🌿🙏🏻
