We welcome British grower and breeder Jah Hoover, founder of Lady Sativa Genetics. His Knightsbridge OG won third prize at the 2013 High Times Cup in Amsterdam and put Lady Sativa Genetics on the map. Recently Jah teamed up with Q-Farms, one of the ten licensed producers in the Dutch cannabis experiment, bringing strains like Super Orange Glue, Marmalade, Kensington Kush and of course Knightsbridge OG to the Dutch consumer. We talk about his journey, the UK cannabis scene and much more. In the news section we discuss the problems one of the other licensed producers in the experiment, CanAdelaar, is having with complaints about the smell from people living close by. We talk about a new study proving that cannabis flower’s THC content can vary by as much as one-third, even within the same plant and a Google pilot project in Canada, allowing cannabis advertising. Our history segment is devoted to Mr. Nice, the autobiography of Welsh cannabis smuggler Howard Marks (1945-2016).

Johan van Laarhoven is één van de grote coffeeshop pioniers van Nederland. Zijn naam zal voor altijd verbonden zijn met de jaren die hij vastzat in de beruchte Thaise Klong Prem gevangenis. Johan en zijn ex-vrouw Tukta belandden daar door het achterbakse handelen van het Nederlandse openbaar ministerie. In januari 2025 verscheen ‘De hel van Bangkok - Vijf jaar onterecht gevangen in een Thaise cel', over de nachtmerrie die hem zijn gezin kostte. Voor de verschijning was Johan kort in Nederland. In de High Tea Potcast vertelt hij voor het eerst zijn hele verhaal: over Thailand, maar ook over zijn jonge jaren in Tilburg, de voorlopers en gloriejaren van The Grass Company en zijn zaak tegen de staat. Een XL aflevering, zonder vaste rubrieken en voor één keer zonder Rens, die in Chili zat en er helaas niet bij kon zijn.
