Swaziland: Gold Mine of Marijuana (Part 1/2)

Check out more episodes of Hamilton's Pharmacopeia here: • Tripping on Hallucinog...
Watch part 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn6ai3WKbriCZ68
Swaziland is a landlocked country sandwiched between South Africa and Mozambique. Despite Swaziland's small size, it boasts more hectares of land dedicated to growing Cannabis than all of India. It is also home to Swazi Gold, the legendary sativa strain.
Hamilton Morris travels to Swaziland hoping to chemically analyze the cannabinoids present in some of the local strains. Instead, he finds a country steeped in political corruption and economic turmoil. Cannabis is viewed by many growers, users, and politicians as a drug that will cause insanity, but it may be Swaziland's only hope for economic stability.

I would love to see what this strain would look like under a controlled grow. Not saying this looks trash but with the right conditions, proper dry and cure would definitely bring out its true potential.

[@markslongdick2489]

It wouldn't be much in comparison to most modern strains. They're plenty of videos of people growing old school strains with LEDs and in hydroponics and it doesn't really compare.

[@RobotronSage]

Really? You're calling nature itself, the ''wrong conditions'' ??? You ever watched the movie ''idocracy'' by any chance? Plants have evolved for millions of years to grow outside my dude. I get you might be interested to see how the plant would fare in a hydroponic system for example But to call those the ''right'' conditions, and nature the ''wrong'' conditions It seems like a huge step backwards is all.

[@RobotronSage]

I mean what's next, we start using gatorade instead of water to grow crops with, and 20 years later completely forget that plants need water to grow? (like in the movie)

[@undrachevr]

@@RobotronSage there is a reason indoor plants produce better buds. Temperatures, humidity, wind all play a part into growing cannabis that are sometimes hard to control outside. I should of said "better" conditions. A rose grows in concrete but that doesn't mean it will thrive under those conditions.

When you get to see this plant close up for the first time in person, it absolutely will change a person. If you talk to your plants real nice, you get 2ft buds that are 6 inches in diameter.

For all the scared people that are freaked out about drugs. Weed is the best out of all the drugs. It's even safer the alcohol because you still have judgement when you're high. That's why states in America are starting to legalize it because it would be extremely profitable and it's safer than any other drug. Plus, it's fucking awesome when you're high.

That's my home! Born and raised in Swaziland. We are still fighting for the legalization of Marijuana. It would help impoverished communities generate an income and boost the economy through tourism and trade. With so many medicinal benefits, the by products that could be made from the plant, it is surprising that it has not been legalized yet. Weed is so easy to get in the Kingdom, and most of us had our first joint in our early teens.

Can you tell your countrymen to educate themselves a bit and stop harvesting early weed thats full of seeds? You guys keep picking plants at like week 5 of flower and you dont separate the males, which leads to super seedy buds.

I was in Goa for Christmas New year 1979/80. They still played Jimi Hendrix on beach in those days. I got friendly with a owner of a hostel/restaurant on Vagatore beach. Long story short. He takes me inside his place, and shows me what looked like a ton of potatoes. “Pick one up” he said. It was a little soft for a potato. “Now break it open” he said. I did,and it turned out to be Hash from up somewhere in northern India. I was moist and soft. I scooped a part of it out, and rolled it into a ball. I put it in my pocket. I’m taking the fifth on threat of this conversation. But that ball of plantmatter, ended up in a little box, totally forgotten about, untill i unpacked at home. I don’t smoke any longer, but that could have tempted me. Thinking of it reminds me of how old i am growing. 🇩🇰🙋🏻‍♂️❤️🌞

[@berhanegebriel3155]

liligman Your social, political and economic awareness level is very low and saddening. Whether chewing cchat (khat) or inhaling cocaine moderately was never the problem. Its overconsumption is. Politicians didn't ban it for the problem of its use, but for the consistent and continual crimes that brought into TCPN(The Chosen People Neighborhood). Simple example MAAD. The Swazi Africans wouldn't have grown it as Hidden Cash Crop but when All Options of Survival is locked, no choice but to open doors to people like you. Read: "Cocaine Politics".

13runner. That's one I never got right, a container has to have a recipient, most of the times it is the actual buyer, even if the container is addressed to a phony/cover LLC, someone has to be responsible, and receive the shipment, if the shipment is caught someone will be fucked.
