In this week’s interview we have the return of South Guerrilla Army, a guerrilla grower from the UK. Over the last few years, SGA has been growing cannabis guerrilla-style around the UK and doing pretty well! But this year, his crop was discovered by the police and destroyed. We hear his story, what happened to his grow, what he plans to do this year, and get some advice on what not to do when growing guerrilla-style to improve your odds of success.
A great interview with an awesome guest who we will hopefully see back on the show again in the near future.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a mix of criticism, policy changes, crime reports, and some fascinating scientific developments:
Macky opens with headlines warning that legalisation may have been a “big mistake,” as some health experts claim to be seeing worse outcomes. We take a closer look at the claims and the wider context behind the narrative. John brings news from the US, where a new Farm Bill proposal from a GOP committee chair aims to reduce regulatory burdens on the hemp industry. A move that could significantly affect producers, retailers, and the wider market.
Smee reports on a major operation uncovered in Essex, where Albanian gang members have been jailed following the discovery of a large-scale cannabis grow. Another reminder of how organised crime continues to thrive in prohibition-driven markets. Dr. Margaret covers a strange aviation incident after British Airways crew members were reportedly taken to hospital following exposure to cannabis, raising questions about how the situation unfolded.
And Billy wraps things up with a fascinating piece of science, as researchers successfully revived ancient cannabis enzymes. Potentially opening the door to new medical compounds and future therapeutic uses.
Another packed episode covering the criticism, the progress, the science, and the strange stories shaping the cannabis conversation this week.

In this week’s Grow Guides, episode 78, we continue our journey through the most iconic strains of all time, focusing on the genetics that helped shape modern growing, breeding, and cannabis culture.
This time we’re diving into legendary names like Girl Scout Cookies, Granddaddy Purple, Jack Herer, and Amnesia Haze, along with heavy hitters such as Trainwreck, Pineapple Express, Cinderella 99, and Bubblegum. We also cover classics including Super Silver Haze, Purple Haze, Cheese, and the timeless Acapulco Gold.
We talk about where these strains came from, what made them stand out, and why their influence is still seen in today’s hybrids. From flavour and effects to stability and breeding impact, this episode is all about understanding why these cultivars earned their legendary status.
Whether you’ve grown them, smoked them, or just heard the names for years, this episode gives proper context to some of the most important genetics ever created, and why their legacy still matters today.

In this episode, we sit down with Christian Rasmussen to talk about his powerful journey from drug addiction to recovery, and the role that Amanita muscaria played in helping him rebuild his life.
Christian shares his personal story openly and honestly, explaining how he discovered the mushroom, why he chose this path, and how it supported his healing process both physically and mentally. We also discuss the importance of education, preparation, and respect when working with Amanita muscaria, including safe approaches to medicinal use and the risks people need to understand before considering it.
This is a thoughtful and grounded conversation about recovery, responsibility, and alternative approaches to healing. Whether you’re interested in medicinal fungi, harm reduction, or personal transformation stories, this interview offers real insight from someone who’s lived the journey.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering major busts, powerful medical stories, and some interesting shifts in policy and public opinion:
Macky starts with a huge find from the BBC, where police discovered a £7.1 million cannabis operation inside a derelict high school. It’s another example of the scale some underground grows are reaching, and the strange locations they’re turning up in. He also shares the touching story of a young girl whose family says medical cannabis has transformed her life, highlighting once again the real human impact behind the ongoing fight for better access.
John brings political developments from the US, where Wisconsin senators have approved a Republican-led medical marijuana bill, even as Democrats continue pushing for broader recreational legalization. It’s a clear sign of how the conversation is evolving, even in more conservative states. We also look at an opinion piece explaining why many law enforcement officers are supporting Trump’s rescheduling move, a shift that shows attitudes are changing even within traditional enforcement circles.
And Smee rounds things off with new research showing daily opioid use dropped by 9 to 11 percentage points following recreational legalization, adding to the growing evidence that legal access may play a role in reducing reliance on more dangerous substances.
Another packed episode full of real-world impact, changing attitudes, and stories that show how fast the landscape continues to shift.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we’re taking a trip through cannabis history and breaking down the most iconic strains of all time. The genetics that shaped modern growing, breeding, and consumption as we know it.
We talk through legendary names like Skunk #1, Northern Lights, Haze, and Afghani, before moving into modern classics such as White Widow, OG Kush, Chemdawg, and Sour Diesel. We also cover AK-47, Blueberry, Durban Poison, and Gorilla Glue #4, looking at where they came from, why they stood out, and how their influence is still felt in today’s genetics.
This episode isn’t about hype or marketing, it’s about why these strains mattered. We discuss stability, flavour lineage, flavour, effects, and how each of these cultivars helped push growing techniques and breeding forward.
Whether you’ve grown them, smoked them, or only heard the names whispered with reverence, this episode gives proper context to the strains that built the foundations of modern cannabis culture.

In today’s interview, we sit down with Ken Somerville, host of the YouTube channel It’s All About the Biology. Ken shares his growing journey, his approach to cultivation, and the deeper spiritual connection he has developed through growing and using cannabis.
We also talk openly about Ken’s health journey. He’s had several close encounters with death and has dealt with serious health issues along the way, and he explains how cannabis played a meaningful role in his recovery and ongoing wellbeing. It’s an honest, reflective conversation that goes far beyond growing techniques.
This one runs a little longer than usual, but for good reason. It’s relaxed, thoughtful, and packed with perspective. So roll a couple of extra fat ones, settle in, and enjoy a genuinely insightful interview.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re digging into some serious research, real-world consequences, and important policy movement:
Macky opens with a study shared by Cromag on Discord, looking at cannabis use before and after legalisation in Canada and how it intersects with mental health status. Published in The Lancet Regional Health, it’s a data-heavy piece that adds much-needed context to an often oversimplified debate.
Dr. Margaret follows with another fascinating study suggesting that lifetime cannabis use may be linked to greater cognitive performance in aging populations. Challenging long-held assumptions about long-term effects and brain health.
We also look at reports that “High January” is fuelling a cannabis boom, while experts simultaneously flag potential health concerns. A reminder that growth, access, and responsibility all need to move forward together.
John brings positive news from Mississippi, where lawmakers have approved a bill allowing medical marijuana use in hospitals for terminally ill patients. A meaningful step toward compassion-led healthcare.
And Smee closes with a sobering story from The Independent, where a man suffered life-changing burns following an explosion at a suspected cannabis farm. Something that makes the panel sceptical of this claim!
Another packed episode blending science, policy, progress, and the risks that still come with prohibition-era realities.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we step away from nutrients, lights, and equipment and focus on something just as important: the mentality of growing.
We talk about how obsessing over plants too much often causes more harm than good, and why overcorrecting problems that don’t actually exist is one of the fastest ways to stress a healthy grow into trouble. We also dig into Instagram and comparison bias. How scrolling perfect-looking grows can quietly wreck your confidence and decision-making.
Impatience comes up at every stage, from germination to harvest, along with confirmation bias when diagnosing issues and the way a grower’s stress can transfer directly into how plants are treated. We also discuss the skill of learning when to leave plants alone, trusting the process, and remembering the real end goal — healthy plants and enjoyable results, not chasing perfection.
This episode is all about mindset, restraint, and confidence. A must-listen if you’ve ever checked your tent ten times a day or talked yourself into fixing something that wasn’t broken.

She has been in this industry for over 30 years and has helped thousands of people find herbal medicines to help with many different ailments and illnesses. In this interview we talk about cannabis as a medicine, and how it can help with cancer. We also talk about other natural medicines like psilocybin, and how it can be used to treat PTSD and other mental health problems.
It’s a really good conversation and we get to learn a lot about natural medicine, and the work Robin has done over the past few decades. Roll a few fat ones for this, I hope you enjoy the interview!

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re serving up a mix of quirky industry moves, regulatory updates, and progress on medical access across the UK and beyond:
Macky kicks things off with a slightly unexpected crossover, as the cannabis industry teams up with chefs in a push to stand out. Including one story involving mustard that definitely raised a few eyebrows. A reminder that branding and creativity are becoming just as important as the product itself.
Dr. Margaret brings some serious industry news, as Aurora secures EU Community Plant Variety Rights for two of its genetics. A move that highlights how intellectual property and plant protection are becoming increasingly important in the European market.
John covers political developments in the US, where a new bipartisan congressional bill aims to regulate hemp-derived products. A sharp contrast to a recent ban signed by Trump. We look at what this could mean for consumers, producers, and the wider regulatory landscape.
And Smee returns to rounds things out closer to home, with news that SOSE and the Scottish Borders Council are supporting a medicinal cannabis facility in the Borders. A potentially significant step for regional development and patient access.
Another packed episode blending the strange, the serious, and the genuinely promising developments shaping the industry.

In this week’s episode of Grow Guides, episode 74, we’re taking a hard look at some of the most common myths that confuse, frustrate, and stress out home growers, especially beginners.
We break down the idea that more nutrients automatically mean bigger buds, why flushing doesn’t magically fix every problem, and why yellow leaves don’t always signal a deficiency. We also tackle the obsession with harvesting at a “perfect” trichome colour, and the belief that praying leaves always mean a happy, healthy plant.
We dig into bigger mindset myths too! Like thinking you need expensive gear to grow top-shelf results, believing more light always equals more yield, or assuming organic grows can’t go wrong. We also talk about the danger of reacting too fast to every minor issue, and the confidence-killer myth that everyone else’s grow is somehow better than yours.
This episode is all about cutting through noise and calming the panic. Helping you understand what actually matters in the grow room, and what you can safely ignore.
Perfect listening if you’ve ever second-guessed yourself mid-grow or gone down a forum rabbit hole wondering what you did wrong.

In this week’s interview, we see the return of Ed Tech 64! Ed has been on the show before, so make sure you check out that interview too if you enjoy this one. Ed has been growing cannabis for over 40 years, and now he is running a weekly grow class for seniors so he can help the older generation learn to grow their own medicine. We chat about his classes, his grows, his new studio, and we talk about AI and the impact it could have on the future too. A great conversation where we bounce around many different topics, as we usually do.
I hope you enjoy this one, roll a few fat ones and all that, and don’t forget to follow Ed on social media!

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re digging into policy, science, and some long-overdue clarity in a space that’s often anything but clear:
Macky leads with a deep look inside the latest medical cannabis police guidance, breaking down what patients actually need to know, how enforcement is supposed to work, and where misunderstandings still cause unnecessary problems on the ground. Dr. Margaret explores new research suggesting that irradiation does not fully degrade fungi, raising important questions about safety assumptions, quality control, and how products are being treated before reaching patients.
John covers political movement in the US, where bipartisan senators are pushing to delay a proposed federal hemp THC product ban while lawmakers consider alternative regulatory approaches instead of defaulting back to prohibition-style thinking. We also discuss progress toward establishing a standard measure for cannabis use, something advocates and researchers have been calling for years, and why this could be a game-changer for education, research, and sensible policy going forward.
Another packed episode cutting through confusion, challenging assumptions, and bringing much-needed context to the headlines.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we take a look at making THC-infused gummies for recreational and medical use. We have DC Smee joining us on the panel, as he has been making lots of gummies at home recently, so I thought we could pick his brain to figure out what method he is using, so you can follow him step by step too.
We talk about the machines Smee uses, how he makes the FECO, how he infuses the gummies, and what mix he uses. Just about everything you need to know about making your own gummies at home.
We also, of course, have some questions in the listener mail section of the show too. So roll a few fat ones, get super high, and enjoy this episode 🙂

In this episode, we sit down with Yellow Skunk Farms, an indoor grower doing things a little differently, and doing them exceptionally well. His setup is all-natural, built around a living soil raised bed inside his garage, complete with a small flowing water feature that helps create one of the most natural indoor growing environments we’ve ever seen.
Yellow Skunk walks us through how the grow was designed, why he chose this approach, and what he’s learned along the way. From soil biology to environmental balance, he shares practical insights and honest lessons that can help anyone looking to move toward a more natural indoor setup at home.
It’s a relaxed, insightful conversation with a genuinely passionate grower who’s more than happy to share his experience. If you’re interested in living soil, low-input growing, or just seeing what’s possible when creativity meets good fundamentals, this is an interview you won’t want to miss.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a wide mix of enforcement, research, and political moves from both sides of the Atlantic:
Macky starts with a major UK bust after police seized two tonnes of cannabis during a farm raid in Blackrod, according to the BBC. A huge operation that raises familiar questions about scale, enforcement priorities, and who really pays the price when these grows get taken down.
DC Smee debutes on the show and talks about a local court case from Bradford, where a man found himself in trouble after loaning his van to cannabis fly-tippers. A cautionary tale about favours gone wrong, and how easily people can get dragged into serious charges.
Dr. Margaret brings some policy news from the US, as Trump signs an order expanding medical cannabis research. A potentially important move that could finally loosen long-standing restrictions on what scientists are allowed to study.
We also touch on a story from Windsor, Ontario, involving a student who allegedly brought THC gummies into a school, another reminder of how education, regulation, and responsibility often lag behind reality.
John wraps things up with two big US developments: Texas moving to ban smokable cannabis as early as January 25, while at the same time the US House passes a bill protecting state medical marijuana laws and rejecting an attempt to block Trump’s rescheduling move.
Another packed episode full of contradictions, crackdowns, and cautious progress, exactly the kind of week we’ve come to expect.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a mix of serious reform talk, strange police encounters, and some genuinely wild crime stories:
Macky opens with a strong letter arguing why it’s time to legalise cannabis in the UK, laying out the case for reform and why the current system continues to fail everyone involved. He then shares a bizarre BBC News story from Penzance, where a cannabis driver reportedly asked police officers for directions, one of those moments where reality feels like some people just dont think.....
There’s also a quick but worrying one, as gangs are now using drones to locate and steal cannabis farms, highlighting just how far organised crime is willing to go, and how growers are having to think defensively.
Dr. Margaret covers an international smuggling case, with two men facing charges for allegedly recruiting women to traffic cannabis out of Canada. A grim reminder of how exploitation still plays a role in prohibition-driven markets.
And John wraps things up with political progress in the US, as a Massachusetts bill to double the marijuana possession limit and revise the regulatory framework heads to a conference committee. A move that could bring meaningful change if it clears the final hurdles.
Another packed episode full of reform debates, strange decisions, and stories that sound made up but very much aren’t.

In this week’s Grow Guides we’re mixing recovery, maintenance, future planning, and a bit of community housekeeping, the perfect reset episode after the festive chaos.
We start with how to take a tolerance break without wrecking your sleep, your mood, or your routine. No monk-level discipline required, just practical ways to reset without suffering for it. Then we get into properly cleaning bongs and glassware after heavy Christmas use. Not the half-hearted rinse everyone does, but the methods that actually remove buildup, smells, and old residue so your gear tastes right again.
From there we look ahead to 2026 and talk about which strains are genuinely worth your time now. Less hype, more reality, focusing on stability, quality, and what home growers are actually enjoying growing and consuming. Finally, we explain how to join Percy’s Grow Room in 2026 and why it’s still different from the rest. What the forum offers, how it works, and why it remains one of the best places online for growers who want real advice without ego or nonsense.
A relaxed but useful episode covering reset, refresh, and what’s coming next, perfect listening whether you’re easing back in or planning your next run.
