Found some interesting stuff. There's a dispensary called nguni biz dispenary near Johannesburg SA, actually a suburb called Randburg. Nearby is a town called Ferndale just like in Northern California next to Eureka.
They sell a few different strains for $1 each, Skunk #1, Northern Lights, Cali Indica, etc. They also have a few African strains, Malawi Gold, Rooibari Swazi, Durban Poison, and a Durban Skunk hybrid. Could be promising.
Looks like the legalization crowd have organized, they have petitions to sign and marches and the like. Didn't know they had "dispensaries" but maybe it's just seeds. They're calling it "re-legalizing" pointing out cannabis was legal for a long time before the British Empire banned it in 1928.
Hi Devil,
about the slave trade though....I don't think these poor souls were allowed to carry much with them as far as personal items except maybe the clothes on their backs, if that: they were probably exploited first from African rivals then by the slave traders...the Indian 'servants' of the British colonizers in the West Indies probably brought it with them from areas in India
We need them for a DNA project that will map the evolution and relationships and make a Cannabis family tree that will allow people to understand the origins of different varieties and where they came from, for example Mexican, Colombian, Jamaican were all brought from some where, after 1492. Even those say from Africa we brought from maybe India or Asia? This DNA Project will try and answer those questions.
