21 - Give The Plant Back To The People with Kyla de Clifford.

Season 2 · Episode 21

Tuesday, September 23, 2025 • Duration 36:14

In this episode, I take you on a journey through the history of cannabis prohibition, from the powerful industries and political figures who drove it, to the propaganda and international treaties that locked it in place.

This is not a deep academic lecture, but a story about how we got here and why a plant that was once widely used for pain, sleep, women’s health, and everyday ailments became criminalised across much of the world.

We’ll look at:

The early uses of cannabis in medicine and daily life
Harry Anslinger’s role in pushing prohibition, and why he was not acting alone
The influence of industry, media, and racism in shaping public fear
Australia’s own prohibition history, from Smith’s Weekly headlines to Hunter Valley “weed raiders” and beyond
Why prohibition was never about health or safety, but about profit, power, and control

By the end of this episode, you’ll see why I believe it is time to give the plant back to the people.

20 - Seeded. Called By The Plant with Bee and Ray.

Season 1 · Episode 20

Tuesday, August 26, 2025 • Duration 42:47

In this episode, we pull back the curtain and share some our own stories of how the plant called us into this space.

From harm reduction and patient advocacy, to chronic pain, migraines, and the quiet frustration of being dismissed in the doctor’s office each of us followed a different road. But the common thread is connection. The plant didn’t just relieve symptoms; she shifted our perspectives, revealed truths we couldn’t ignore, and opened the possibility of healing on deeper levels.

This episode isn’t about giving you a one-size-fits-all answer. It’s about reminding you that there are choices, and that healing isn’t just about quick fixesit’s about slowing down, listening, and reconnecting with yourself.

What We Talk About in This Episode

The harm reduction frontline and what it taught us about preventable loss
Living through migraines, chronic pain, and the opioid treadmill
Gentle first encounters with the plant and what shifted afterward
How stigma silences women and patients, and why that has to change
The role of meditation, mindfulness, and holistic care alongside cannabis
Why respect, patience, and “starting low, going slow” matter more than ever
The bigger medicine: connection to self, to others, and to possibility

Why This Matters
Too often, women’s pain is dismissed, masked with pills, or met with silence. By sharing our stories, we want to open doors for conversations, for new pathways, and for anyone who has ever wondered if there’s another way forward.

12 - Seeded: Navigating Stigma and Finding Your Community with Bee and Ray.

Tuesday, July 1, 2025 • Duration 25:20

What does it take to shake off a lifetime of shame around cannabis? In this deeply personal conversation, Ray, Bee, and Kyla open up about their earliest experiences with the plant and the stigma that kept them silent for years.

From growing up in countries where cannabis use meant death penalties or jail time, to navigating parenthood, professional reputations, and internalised fear, this episode goes deep into what it means to use the plant and still feel judged for it.

We talk about finding language, finding confidence, and eventually finding community. This episode is a reminder that education is powerful, but so is conversation. And when we tell the truth about our relationship with the plant, we help others feel less alone.

Whether you’re still whispering about your use, or proudly rolling joints at dinner parties, this one is for you.

Content Note:

This episode includes discussion of drug-related stigma, global drug policies, parenting, and cannabis use. Listener discretion advised.

In this episode, we cover:

• How growing up under the War on Drugs shaped our beliefs
• Cannabis stigma across cultures, from Singapore to Australia to the Middle East
• What it’s like to be a mother who uses cannabis
• Why conversations with kids matter
• How cannabis compares to alcohol and pharmaceuticals
• Why so many women are quietly quitting alcohol
• Where to find (or build) community as a cannabis user
• The missing social spaces for conscious consumption
• How to start talking about the plant, with friends, family, and yourself

Bee Mohamed has worked in health policy for over 10 years, both in the public and private sectors. Bee was the inaugural CEO of ScriptWise, a health promotion charity addressing prescription medication addiction and overdose in Australia.

Bee is passionate about patient advocacy and working towards better drug policy reforms in Australia. She is currently an Ambassador for Harm Reduction Australia and Founder of Mata, an online platform sharing stories from the plant medicine industry.

Tuesday, June 24, 2025 • Duration 45:08

Lillie Brown is a sexologist, speaker, and fierce advocate for body literacy and cannabis education. She lives with endometriosis, PMDD, and ADHD and in this deeply honest (and hilarious) conversation, she shares what it’s really like to live in a body that doesn’t always play nice.

10 - THC, CBD & the Other Cannabinoids You’ve Never Heard Of with Kyla De Clifford

Season 1 · Episode 10

Tuesday, June 17, 2025 • Duration 18:18

Cannabis is made up of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, ethers & esters, lipids & waxes, proteins & enzymes and carbohydrates.

For more reading on cannabinoids:

The Essential Guide to CBD by Ryan Lewis & the team at Project CBD

Cannabis is Medicine by Dr Bonni Goldstein

The cannabinoids I talked about on today’s episode:

THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol):
The main psychoactive compound in cannabis, known for its pain-relieving, anti-nausea, and appetite-stimulating effects.

CBD (Cannabidiol):
A non-intoxicating cannabinoid with anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and seizure-reducing properties.

CBG (Cannabigerol):
Often called the "mother cannabinoid," CBG is being studied for its potential to support gut health, mood, and neuroprotection.

THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin):
A cannabinoid with potential appetite-suppressant and blood sugar-regulating effects - sometimes called "diet weed."

CBN (Cannabinol):
Formed as THC ages, CBN is mildly psychoactive and often promoted for sleep and relaxation support.

CBC (Cannabichromene):
Non-intoxicating and anti-inflammatory, CBC may support brain health by encouraging the growth of new neurons.

9 - This Isn’t in the Textbook: Epilepsy, CBD, and a Mother’s Grit with Erin Oudshoorn.

Season 1 · Episode 9

Tuesday, June 10, 2025 • Duration 51:48

What happens when your instincts whisper something the doctors won’t say out loud?

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Erin Oudshoorn - mother to the incredible Luella, and founder of the Lulu Love Project. Erin shares the raw and honest story of Luella’s diagnosis with infantile spasms at just 11 weeks old, and the years that followed - filled with uncertainty, exhaustion, and an unshakable drive to find another way.

We talk about what it means to follow your gut when the medical system says no, how Erin first turned to CBD in the face of resistance, and why trusting your inner voice might just be the most powerful medicine we have.

This is a conversation about grit, grief, and hope. About parenting in the unknown. And about listening closely—to yourself, your child, and the stories that don’t always make it into the textbooks.

8 - Seeded. Periods, Hormones and a Toolkit of Wellness with Bee & Ray.

Season 1 · Episode 8

Tuesday, June 3, 2025 • Duration 47:42

In this episode of Seeded, Kyla sits down with Bee and Ray for a real, unfiltered conversation about periods, pain, perimenopause, and everything we were never taught about our bodies.

From the awkwardness of first bleeds and being put on the pill way too young, to hormone-fuelled migraines and the shame that still lingers around menstruation - we go there.

With stories that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe feel a little less alone, we talk about how food, plant medicine, and giving ourselves permission to rest have helped us reconnect with our cycles in a way our younger selves never could have imagined.

Topics we cover:

Why migraines, mood swings, and anxiety might not be “just stress”
What happened when we finally started tracking our cycles
How CBD and THC can support painful periods and perimenopause
The wild side effects of hormonal contraception (and how we figured it out the hard way)
Replacing shame with sisterhood, and painkillers with proper toolkits
Why we should all be journaling, celebrating our bleed, and maybe building a hut
