Did you ever find the Zamal?

[Reunion Island - The Perpetual Weed]

Wow, what a beautiful Island. With the recovery of possible wreckage from flight MH370, I expect many internet-surfers may have googled-up "Reunion" to see what they can find. .

I found some interesting Information to add to or to support Franco's excellent article above. Here it is: .

The following is a very interesting article describing the migration of the people to and from the Island through its history, their use of marijuana in traditional and contempory customs. And the relatively calm and non-abusive reaction of the community and law enforcement. .

Whereas marijuana is called ganja or weed or lambsbread or other names in various places on Earth, on Reunion Island it is called Zamal. Although Zamal is the general term there for MJ, it may be possible that there is or was a Reunion Landrace. But as is happening worldwide now, the hybrid genetics could be mixing-in with the "Zamal" landrace, making the original Reunion Zamal more and more rare. I've heard that it is very very good, so it might be a good idea to somehow acquire the Zamal genetics before they are crossed away with other hybrids. As I understand from articles, only some of the older growers in Reunion may still have the original Reunion Zamal genetics. Nevertheless, I looked around to see where it might be obtainable, and this is what I found: .
