Presenters on a gardening programme apologised to listeners yesterday after they gave a caller advice on cultivating cannabis.Frieda Morrison and Jim McColl were asked for tips on using a propagator for a hybrid of cannabis called Northern Lights on their Radio Scotland show, Beechgrove Potting Shed.
However, they thought the caller, a man who said he was from Perth, had asked for advice on cabbages and, as there is a variety of cabbage called Northern Lights, they spent three minutes detailing how best to nurture his plants, including the use of soil nutrients and temperature control.
“We thought the caller had said cabbages and if you look it up on the internet there is a variety called the Northern Lights,” said Frieda Morrison yesterday. “So this is where the confusion started and all the way through the interview we were talking about cabbages.
“It is a very busy programme and we made an honest mistake.”
Strathclyde police said they were investigating with a view to identifying the caller.
Cannabis has been reclassified as a class C drug.

Mr McLoughlin later e-mailed BBC Scotland to apologise to the show’s presenters.
He said: “I’m so sorry. I would have said I was growing cabbages if I knew the fuss it would cause.
“Is answering general gardening questions a crime now? Cannabis is a political issue, yes; but it is also a gardening issue.”
Mr McLoughlin added that he used herbal cannabis for pain relief for a spinal injury.
He said: “There is nothing else works quite like it, and it is patently absurd it remains a crime.”

Han kanske får problem med plantorna om han följer odlingsråden för kål 🙄
