Greetings Strain Hunters!

Posting here from the islands we call Aotearoa - "Land of the Long White Cloud".  In that era when the British liked going about and renaming lands that already had owners and names they called it "New Zealand". Naturally, they couldn't help themselves, and got to fencing off the land, taking land that didn't belong to them, cutting down trees in sacred forests, and so on. Soon enough they got to telling everyone what kinds of plants they can grow. Hypocrites, eh?

As for myself, I'm dealing with traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, PTSD and anxiety. Cannabis helps me deal with the worst of my symptoms, but it is still not available to people like me via the health system. It looks like that might change soon. Doctors are not allowed to recommend cannabis, but off-the-record, they might suggest some "herbal alternatives" that could be effective, or just straight up say that some people have good results with cannabis. This is one of the plants that helps me a lot. It's a pure Afghani landrace. When this photo was taken, around week 6-7 of flowering, the bracts start to swell up and fresh pistils burst out. It reaches its full potential in 9 weeks, if everything is right. This grow is for my personal use, so I'm looking for therapeutic quality with my selections. Trying to stay close to nature, using organic nutrients and pest control. Hope to learn more from the experienced growers here.

Hello Kahu and welcome to forum :)

 

There are many people who consume cannabis to seek relaxation, avoid stress and / or anxiety. Without a doubt, it is a very effective natural remedy. I hope that soon it will be loyal all over the planet... although we already know that there are many hypocritical politicians and that can delay its global legalization.

 

Very good photo, I love it. Are you dedicated to photography?

 

Cheers

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

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.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
