Back in grades 7-12 (1974-1980) the primo weeds in the San Juan Islands were Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, Colombian Gold, and Maui Wowie. The sensemillas had just started to enter our area in 77, actually, they were already there back in 73, when White Powder Joe developed some landrace Indica on Guemes Island that a friend had brought back during his Hippie Trail Journey from Afghanistan. Colombian gold could be bought for $500 per pound wholesale. Congratulations! I can't wait to order your seeds via reseller in Canada.

Finally! Colombia. As a kid here in the San Juan Islands, we had hundreds of tons of Colombian Gold, Panama Red and Thai smuggled into to our port back in the 1970s. Colombian Gold was my favorite, until local growers on Guemus Island ( who had for several years been growing Afghani land races and made hybrids). Much of that weed made it up to Alaska (via commerical fishermen and those same Pacific Ocean smugglers) and was the seed bank for the legendary Thunderfuck. Many happy memories of youthful laughter, deep philosophic conversations and raiding 7-11 for munchies.

The last time I had Afghani hashish was some import through a local dealer-Pre Soviet invasion in December of 1978. I was a sophomore in high school. Our town, here in the Pacific Northwest, was a notorious drop off point for Columbian Gold, Panama Red and Thai. Anyway, the hash was dark and the aroma was unforgettable. The hash I make now is great hash, but definitely is not land race from Afghanistan. At the Seattle hemp fest, I asked some pakis if they would send some relatives into the tribal areas and take GPS pics of the plants and get their seeds, that we we could have proof location of landrace. Since I am too chicken to into Afghanistan, especially the tribal areas.

What is the significant difference between Pakistan land race and Afghani? It seems to me that they are so close in proximity (including elevation, geology and geography) that the genetic differences would be negligible.

The last time I saw hash that good was new years eve 1978. It was a brick of black afghani, and it was yummy
About us
Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.
Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
