In this episode we sit down with Cefyn Jones, founder of The Hemp Hound Agency, to talk about the current state of the cannabis and hemp industry in the UK.

Cefyn shares his experience working within the sector, explaining the challenges businesses face, the opportunities that still exist, and how the industry continues to evolve despite complicated regulations and slow-moving policy. We discuss how there is still a lot of corruption in the cannabis industry and still so much to fix in so may ways.

It’s an insightful conversation about where the UK industry stands right now, where it might be heading, and what needs to change for it to truly grow.

If you’re curious about the business side of cannabis in the UK, this is a great conversation with someone who’s right in the middle of it.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we cover a mix of heartfelt tributes, strange crime stories, new research, and policy changes happening across the world.

Macky starts with the launch of a campaign in memory of a mother who played an important role in changing the UK’s medical cannabis laws. It’s a powerful reminder of the real people behind the push for reform and the lasting impact their work continues to have.

John brings a lighter scientific story, as researchers reveal what kinds of food people tend to crave when the infamous “munchies” kick in. The results might not be too surprising, but the science behind it is fascinating.

Smee reports on a bizarre criminal case from Blackpool, where a drugs gang reportedly dressed as police officers in order to raid cannabis farms. A story that sounds almost unbelievable, but highlights how far organised groups will go.

Dr. Margaret discusses a new study suggesting cannabis could help people who are trying to reduce their alcohol consumption, adding to the growing conversation around harm reduction and lifestyle changes.

And Billy rounds things off with news from Malta, where authorities have updated the cannabis club regulations to allow clubs to store up to 3.5kg on site, a notable shift in how the country manages its legal social club system.

Another packed episode covering research, reform, and the strange stories that keep the cannabis world interesting.

In this week’s Grow Guides episode, we take an honest look at the realities of growing at home. The things people don’t always talk about before starting their first setup.

We break down the true cost of growing, from equipment and electricity to the hidden expenses that can creep in over time. We also discuss the time commitment required to properly care for plants, and why growing isn’t quite as “set and forget” as some people might think.

The conversation also moves into practical considerations like managing noise, smell, and privacy, especially for growers trying to keep things discreet at home. From loud extraction fans to odour control, these are factors every grower needs to plan for.

We also discuss burnout and over-scaling, a common trap where growers expand too quickly and end up overwhelmed, and we finish by exploring the mental side of growing, the patience, discipline, and mindset that help turn a stressful grow into an enjoyable and rewarding one.

This episode is all about keeping expectations realistic and helping growers build setups they can actually manage long term.

In this week’s interview we welcome back Dominic Milton Trott! Dominic has joined us a couple of times before, and every single time the conversation goes deep, wide, and into some seriously fascinating territory.

If you’re not familiar with him, Dominic is the author of The Drug Users Bible, a harm reduction classic built from firsthand experience. He has personally researched and documented the effects of over 180 different psychoactive substances, carefully recording dosage, duration, risks, and what people can realistically expect. His goal has always been simple but powerful: reduce harm through honest information.

In this episode, we talk about his recent travels, where he’s been exploring, and the places he has visited in search of specific substances around the world. We get into culture, legality, safety, mindset, and the importance of responsible use. As always with Dominic, it’s thoughtful, measured, and grounded in real world experience rather than hype or fear.

Another brilliant conversation with a good friend of the show. If you’re interested in altered states, global drug policy, harm reduction, or just hearing from someone who has truly walked the walk, this one is for you.

Roll one up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride.

This week on High on Home Grown, the headlines are all over the world! From abandoned British pubs being converted into large-scale cannabis farms, to seniors in Arizona soon having marijuana kiosks in their living communities.

Macky kicks things off with the strange and telling story of Britain’s struggling pub trade colliding with the underground grow scene.

John brings news from the US, where marijuana kiosks are set to roll out in independent living communities across Arizona, raising questions about access, safety, and how normalized cannabis has become for older generations.

Smee covers a lighter (and slightly awkward) story from football, where Swansea City’s Vitor Matos declines to comment on claims about the “smell of weed” and the presence of Snoop Dogg.

Dr. Margaret dives into a major Canadian study reporting a strong link between cannabis use, anxiety, and depression. We break down what the research actually says, what it doesn’t say, and why context matters.

Billy rounds things off with innovation from Europe: a newly listed Dutch hemp variety that could challenge established fiber hemp strains and shake up the market.

A packed episode covering culture shifts, public health debates, underground operations, and agricultural innovation.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we dive into the world of Korean Natural Farming (KNF) and JADAM, breaking down what they are, how they work, and why so many home growers are starting to pay attention.

We give a clear overview of the philosophy behind KNF and JADAM, low-cost, biology-driven growing that focuses on working with nature rather than fighting it. Then we get into the practical side, including how Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) is made and used to feed plants naturally, and how JADAM Microbial Solution (JMS) helps build thriving soil biology from the ground up.

We also cover JADAM’s natural pest control methods, explaining how these simple, accessible techniques can help manage problems without relying on expensive bottled products. This episode is perfect for growers who want to reduce costs, improve soil health, and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. If you’re curious about living soil and biology-based growing, this one lays the groundwork in a straightforward, no-nonsense way.

In this week’s interview we have the pleasure of sitting down with our new panel member, DC Smee! You may have heard Smee on some of our recent episodes, so we thought it was time to have a proper chat and let you get to know him a little better.

We talk about how he first discovered the podcast, how he became part of the Percys Grow Room community, and his journey as a grower. We also dive into the methods he uses to make edibles, how he approaches cannabis for medical use, and his overall philosophy when it comes to growing and consuming.

This is a great conversation and a perfect introduction to one of the newest voices on the High on Home Grown panel. Lots of useful information, a few laughs, and a good insight into the man behind the mic. Roll a few fat ones and enjoy the session!

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a mix of tribute, progress, education, and important new research:

Macky begins with a tribute to Dr. Elaine Ingham, a pioneer in soil biology whose work has influenced growers around the world. A huge loss to the living soil community and a legacy that will continue to shape natural growing for years to come. He also shares the story of a medical cannabis patient who has won a two-year legal battle after being wrongfully convicted of drug driving. A significant case that highlights the ongoing legal challenges patients still face.

John brings positive news from the US, where four more states are advancing legislation to allow medical cannabis use within hospitals, marking another step toward normalising patient access in clinical settings.

Smee reports that Bristol Medical School is set to offer its first teaching placement in cannabis medicine. Another major step forward for education and future healthcare professionals in the UK.

Dr. Margaret covers a large new study examining a potential link between cannabis use in teenagers and increased risk of psychosis later in life. An important topic that deserves careful discussion and responsible context.

And Billy rounds things off with research into the use of hemp for soil contamination cleanup, highlighting the plant’s growing role in environmental restoration.

Another packed episode covering progress, challenges, education, and the evolving science shaping the future of cannabis.
