What happens when national identity meets medical absurdity? In this tongue-in-cheek episode, Welsh advocate Sian Phillips takes a satirical look at how equality laws protect your right to a translator — but not your right to affordable medical cannabis.

From Machynlleth to Llanelli, and from Y Ddraig Goch to the endocannabinoid system, this episode explores the irony of being Welsh in England — where you might be legally recognised for your national origin, yet invisible when fighting for patients’ access to good-quality, reasonably priced medicine.

Expect wit, wordplay, and a healthy dose of exasperation as Sian unpacks the political and cultural nonsense of cannabis regulation in the UK — and reminds us that sometimes, being bilingual just means you can complain in two languages.
