Back in the 1970s, the guys I was hanging out with were bringing in some very good pot from southern and western Mexico. They had been roaming around Mexico and had met the farmers. These were actual citizens farmers each of whom grew small amounts of pot…to sell, GOOD pot. My buddies told me of meeting groups of farmers in various Mexican states. They had learned where to go to meet up with the groups of local farmers, typically “where the dirt road crosses the creek” on the 1/4 moon or during the last full moon. Stuff like that. The Mexican farmers would show up with burros or mules carrying their best pot…anywhere from 3 or 4 lbs up to 125 lbs of good pot each. Good pot. These were actual people, these were subsistance farmers who needed the hippies cash.

So, at night with the moon showing the way, dozens of Americanos (hippies mostly) would show up at the rendevous point by the creek and there business was conducted. My buddies would be in southern Mexico for a month or two buying weed. When they came home to Colorado, we would enjoy the best Mexica Sativa strains from states like Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacan, Sinaloa. Those Mexican farmers needed that American Hippy cash and were proud of the pot they had grown.

However, in the late 1970s the Americans put AWACs on the border. These radar planes shut down the flow of pot going north. This hurt the cash starved Mexican family farmers. This took away their ability to resist the local drug lords. That gave rise to the big Mexican Drug Cartels because only they had the ability to get drugs north across the border. Along with their heroin, the drug cartels had the time, money and the resolve. So then the citizen subsistance farmers had to deal with the Narco-Traffikers Slicksters because there were not longer any Amerianos there with cash to spend, Hippies or Slicksters. The Mexican drug dealers put a gun to their heads and told the farmers what to do…what to grow and how much they would be paid. So, when the government stepped in to the Mexican pot situation, they put Paraquat poison on it and also helped stifle the small business man in favor of the Mexican Drug Lords. And it seemed as though the Paraquat went onto the small subsistance farmers pot not onto the Drug Lords pot fields. How ’bout that.

Back in the ’70s we had been trying to grow this stoney pot here in the Midwest, we found that Sativa just would not mature. I could not get those pot seeds from south Mexico to sprout, grow and go into a mature flower bud before we had frosts or heavy rains, snow and ice. That pot took too long to mature. So, I could not duplicate that Mexican Sativa here in Kansas, Iowa or Colorado that we all liked so much.

At about the same time, the early-mid 1970s…I had friends who were in the Peace Corps and had been sent to Afghanistan, India or Pakistan to teach those folks how to dig water wells or some such. They were earning a little money and on their time off from their Peace Corps duties, would go around their respective countries and look for rugs and drugs. Every time they sent home a hand made rug to their mom in America, they would put in some pot seeds…usually from the Hindu-Kush Valley. Well these pot seeds produced pot plants that would cycle thru to maturity in 7 months. It was Indica as opposed to Mexican Sativa. And this Kush pot matured and was real good by Thanksgiving, or even sooner. And the pot was superb. Skunk we called it. My buddies were intent on hybredizing these two different kinds of pot, even back in the late 1970s.

What a long strange trip its been. More about the past, later on in the future.
