In my opinion , I feel I’d be mad too if a bunch of foreigners came in and took something that I have farmed for years and barley managed to make a decent living off of while they simultaneously bragged and gloated about the millions of dollars they stand to make from it .. I understand their anger and also understand the view of the strain hunters .. they could’ve at least arranged a way to help set them up to farm and sell it on their own , but instead they took the strain for themselves so they can have a monopoly on that particular land race , essentially pushing them out of the market for it.. now when anyone buys this strain , it won’t come from the native farmers who helped create it in the first place by consistently breeding and protecting this variety , but from the foreigners who took it, and grew it elsewhere .. just my thoughts on the situation ..

Giaccomo Chiarella bro honestly it’s not even funny he’s passed. He was an extremely successful entrepreneur with fantastic plans that would benefit the world and in return benefit his income too, which is realistic considering it’s a business industry. He passed from Malaria, but the dude is like the mastermind of ideas. He’s insanely passionate about finding new and the best strains for medicinal purposes and I have to give him mad props for building such an empire while he was still alive. Never laugh at the someone who passes man atleast out of respect. Most people would just send workers out that way if they catch something then oh well not my problem since your getting paid.

From the Strain Hunters: "t has been more than a year since we recorded this and over a year since we lost our dear Franco. We miss him so much. Since then we have donated over 500,000 dollars this year in the Democratic Republic of Congo for humanitarian projects and invested over 500,000 dollars in our medical trials for HIV, MALARIA, and Diarrhoea in DRC. The way they put arjan on the spot to answer that question at the end is taken completely out of context. We spent over a million in Congo, Franco died, and don't sell anything yet from Congo.... it has only cost us large sums of money and lots of sacrifice. Its not easy working in such a climate, we welcome anyone to come help us. We hope our sacrifice will lead to benefits both to the people of Congo, lead as an example for other struggling countries and to the future development of our organisation. At the end of the day, you need to conduct business and earn revenues, we can only make a difference with cash flow and we do need to fund our projects somehow. We reinvest more than any other cannabis company back into communities. Check the www.strainhuntersfoundation.com to read more about our medical cannabis and humanitarian projects in Congo and other countries. Unfortunately we lost our brother Franco to Malaria in Congo, he dedicated his life to this plant and he made the ultimate sacrifice. We will continue his legacy and make sure this magical plant will help Africa build up their economy and benefit from cannabis as a medicine. Cannabis has the power to help Africa develop, we welcome anyone to help contribute. Here's to Franco, we love you and miss you, see you in Paradise."

@MistaTamilan4 жыл бұрын
@900k dot He even said in the documentary that he has to pay several people on the way. Congo is pretty dangerous; carrying a lump some of money could get you killed. If he just got robbed there are no atms in these remote areas so he would spend several days travelling back to start again. The villagers are selfish for demanding money in my opinion. Those plants are occur in the wild naturally, yet is illegal to cultivate in wild like the locals do who smuggle it to countries which are illegal. The Chief received the money to redistribute to his people. It is how the villages work. To put in perspective $50 is the wage for a 100 people in one day in some places because of how cheap cost of living is. He is doing it legally by importing a small amount of seeds which he would have to pay several fees so he can grow in a op on legal soil. Now if those plants die in the process he has to start the journey again. If he succeeds, he will have clone those plants enough times to get enough to distribute. Now in the recreational market this won't cut it due to low potency. So then he would have to grow the plants more potent. More potent plants don't have seeds; so he would need enough seeds to grow a batch with seeds to persevere the strain for the future. So that's a basic breakdown of how it works in the economic and legal system. Now on to the ethics. I am not white and I come from a place where people who practice holistic medicine have a belief that the medicine should be widespread. The way these partners devolped their business allows to persevere this plant internationally. So in the future if the dry lands cause a forest fire, the crops would be wiped out but we would still have them internationally. Unlike other western practices like deforestation which cause the plant to go extinct. I have a theory that western civilization wiped out many medicine that could have been used combat several diseases. All I want is just cure for it. Many of my family members suffer from diabetes and is actually way more serious then most people think it is. I just want them to be cured. (Edit: PS) I recommend when the pandemic is over to travel with a translator or a friend from a place in a third world country to live as the villagers do. It might be uncomfortable but it really opens your eyes. You can can even talk to people who came from communist countries like China and Russia to hear some stories. Cheers homie.

I mean these villagers would have very little feasible chance of making the millions because it's not just about selling the seeds. The strainhunters have created a company, networked, put in the time and effort to grow these strains and breed them in a way that strengthens the genetics. The villagers agreed to show them these plants after being paid, and the strainhunters spent days endlessly hiking, struggling, risking their lives to find these seeds. The strainhunters didnt lie to them about their intentions, they were open about what they were seeking and why. They earned their millions before, during, and after the trip. I'll admit they could have done better understanding and explaining why they weren't in the wrong here, which tells me they didn't give it heavy enough initial thought. Would donating a portion of the bounty to the village/s be a nice thing to do? Absolutely. Are they obligated to in any way? No, I don't believe so.

@@isjdnlkaauuenmkcs6479 listen: to make oil usable in an engine, you have to refine it. there's a process. a long, calculated process which takes a lot of advanced technology, a lot of educated individuals, and a lot of money. the oil you find in the ground is not the same product you fill your car up with. same thing with these African people who just happen to have the weed. the seeds those europeans take are gonna create a whole new product, a whole new plant, modified by all the smart people and advanced equipment. in the end, its not gonna be the same product. and yet there's people acting like the tribes deserve a part in the profits. but what if they did? what if the tribes people are given a cut of the profits? what percentage should we give them? lets say 2% of all profits because they helped them find the weed. 2% of $1 billion is $20,000,000. What in gods name would the tribes people do with 20 million dollars? too much? okay, I'll lower the total profits to $10 million, and that's lowballing it. 2% of $10 million is $200,000 US. $200,000 US dollars = 399,400,000 Congolese Francs. The average yearly income a person makes in the DRC is a little over 1,500,000 Congolese Francs. I did the research. THATS A LOT OF MONEY...The tribes people would go crazy with that amount of money. they would endanger themselves. people would come to rob them. who knows. all in all, I think the exchange is quite fair.

Ed Towel I know you haven’t been because of your naïveté on the subject. Just because they’re poor doesn’t mean you must feel sorry for them. Their own people take from each other when they can that’s why politicians don’t last very long. The Europeans took nothing they came, gave out about 500 dollars and left with a few seeds. Now their job is done and they’re leaving the Congo 500 dollars richer. Do you think the Congolese would’ve capitalized on what they had? So if the Europeans didn’t come those seeds would’ve sat and sat for another 2000 years being shared with absolutely no one. They took the initiative so they get the reward. The Congolese didn’t take any initiative and now they’ve got $500. Don’t make the mistake of hating your own culture because believe me there’s not much to like in anyone else’s. There’s a reason the whole of Africa is in a state of war, genocide and famine. ( and it’s not because there’s something in the water ) there is an inherent problem with the African culture that is not suited to run its country under a western society’s paradigm. There culture is not one of self improvement and planning ahead. It is one of self interest and pure short term sustenance. Everything they have is what westerners have GIVEN to them not taken. (Electricity, clean water, toilets, clothes, basically everything except fire). Without the west they’d still be exactly how they were found all those years ago. This is 4 years of missionary work in west and central Africa speaking. Experience gained from that will always be superior to experience gained from someone watching a KZbin video in their warm cozy house on there iPad Air pro
