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.
