Afghanistan aka Hashistan

Yo strainhunters! Try to hook up with this dude Chris Turner who made this documentary 'al life in Hashistan' that I'm posting here. He seems to have some good connections in Afghanistan for an expedition. A true strainhunter cannot miss this destination. Maybe the war over there causes some difficulties now but by 2014 foreign forces should be out an hopefully the security situation will be better.. Shame on you if you miss out on this country!!

By now afghanistan may be okay to travel - maybe no. But I would lov to see the Gang climbing up tora bora, reside in masar-I-sharif and invade places like Sheberghan or Parvatti for the VERY VERY best Hashish on this one planet..Period. Good Kush genetics are the reward.

If you plan caefully and find some trust-able local guards & guides it might be worth the effort..

Dont forget that strainhunters, aka Arjan, Franco and co. arent Americans. And then its not a question of Americans or not but why and how you go there. There are obvious security problems if you go there as an invading enemy bringing guns and warplanes. Strainhunters wont be bringing any of that, only cameras, seeds and (hopefully) some money for a very, very poor people. They wouldnt but welcome that as far as I know. But of course, you do want to be careful and thats why u need an insider who can hook you up with some senior clan members that will guarantee protection. The Afghans are a people who hold honor in very high esteem - they would die for their guests. He speaks about this in the documentary, as the incident with that al-qaeda dude who started to point an Ak47 at him! I think this could become the coolest expedition ever...

Well, its not going to be totally without hazards of course. But I believe the strainhunters team should've generated some Indiana Jones genes in their bones by now =)

If Americans do participate in an expedition it would however be advisable not to disclose their origin considering America has been bombing this country to smithereens during the latest years! But then again, if you're their guest, you're their guest no matter what your origin is - and they honor their guests...

I bet the USA have at their disposition huge fields and are busy collecting best specimens for biggest donnor...I have seen pics of field patrolled and protected by soldiers, mostly mercenaries paid by our elites! Talibans previously maintained low production now it is exploding. So farmers are protected by USA and by doing so under Talibans attack ! Surely very dangerous for Arjan to go there, unless guided by mercenaries but surely not worth for him....

I would love to go back to Afghanistan. It can be safe to go there now but you can't be a total moron when you get there. That's how you get kidnapped and end up on Al-Jazeera begging for your head to not be cut off.

 

Learn the culture/customs. Be polite and respectful, always say Salaam to all the locals if they make eye contact. Leave their women alone, don't even look at them. Wear the proper clothing (thope) and just blend in.

 

I'm first generation American but my family is from Pakistan which is right next door. I'v spend a lot of time in both countries and have learned how to not get killed. 

 

I know I sound a little overly dramatic but you have to understand that all of my personal experiences in Afghanistan is based off of exploring the northern tribal areas of both Pakistan/Afghanistan. Unfortunately, there is also a heavy presence of Taliban in the tribal areas. 

 

They call that area "No Mans Land", just north of the Thar Desert. The tribal leaders are the ones who decide justice in those areas, not government. Some of those tribal leaders have strong connections with Taliban.

 

But, the non-crazy locals are great. Very hospitable and polite. Just be respectful and hopefully no one messes with you.
