Veteran Turns Isolation Into Healing | Appalachian Chillbilly on 420 Chief Podcast
On this episode of the 420 Chief Podcast, I sit down with Jason — better known as Appalachian Chillbilly — a former Army veteran who went from isolation to being one of the most uplifting, greenhouse-growing, community-feeding, teddy bear-sending humans on TikTok.
Known in the streets of the algorithm as TikTok’s Temu Tommy Chong (while I hold down the Rick Rubin vibes), Chillbilly is living proof that healing is possible — especially when you mix plant medicine, community, and a purpose-driven life.
We talk about his personal journey with cannabis, how growing food helped him grow support, and how he’s now helping others heal just by showing up and being himself. From helping flood victims in North Carolina with fresh produce to supporting #BearsForChildren, Jason reminds us that showing up for others starts with learning to show up for ourselves.
Get ready to laugh, get inspired, and maybe even plant something. 🌶️💚
