Hey bud,

Since I notice you've made a thread specifically for 303, rather than PNG Gold in general, I think I'll continue there.

Papua is a very sad & violent place, From what ive seen up to 80% of the locally grown herb is traded to australian and indonesian gangs for military grade firearms to pursue local wars & vendettas which have accelerated dramatically , since a form of warfare that USED to be practically cerimonial due to the distances involved and low tech aproach has turned become much more lethal. A woven shield used to be adequate protection against spear or Machete , NO good against a G3 or AR-15 !

Very true SobStory, problems really started during the 90s, when people grew more & more to buy automatic weapons for, as you said, the local wars and vendettas. Very sad...

The trade of PNG for guns was big once i know it was big in the 70s and 80s but there is no way with the surveillance put in place now days for it to be still going on that stopped years ago.

Don't know how it's going nowadays, but in 1999-2000 it was still full on.

As much as it saddens me to say it , ive seen plenty of evidence that it still happens to this day , Not so much (but it still happens ) from the australian side due to increased naval presence in the straights and increased electronic countermeasures. But the trade from the Indonesians is still very active, i even think there have been Fijian military elements involved recently (Id have to check that though !)

Some interesting articles there ..
I notice they cant decide when png started using cannabis , or how it got there ..
I am sure it was being grown before the 70s , i was there in 74 and they seemed pretty adapt at toking cannabis ,, as though they had been for quite some time ..
I ve grown png gold a few times , really nice herb ,, beautiful fruity smells and lots of resin , great high .. some of it being very very potent , real knock you on your ass sativa ...

Cannabis was already growing at Java in the period 1920-1940 by the Dutch.Borneo / Kalimantan had a good variety in that time and it was so good that American pharmaceutical companies in 1930 brought the variety to Colombia for developing new pharmaceutical strains, so i would not be surprised if some of those varieties end up at PNG.



Namaste :plant grow: :canabis:

You rarely get to see photos of PNG Gold in their native habitat, but I recall seeing a documentary on Australian TV in the 90s that showed a small cannabis plantation in full blossom. The beautiful plants were remarkable for their lush, Christmas-tree structure that reminded me of nothing so much as the equatorial ganja plantations that I've seen in Colombia.

hi bushweed was it the one were they were talking to locals and showed these plants that had a sat frame with very chunky looking flowers that i think by the looks with a bit of rain would of had the plants laying on the ground.

The plants were being grown and traded for weapons i think it was 60 minuets or one of the current affair shows from ABC maybe.

From what i was told PNG ancestors are thia a close mate spoke to and old guy his dad knew that had been in there working since the end of ww2 i believe told him the story behind png gold i will ask him agine next time we catch up.

I got PNG

I got PNG

I have seeds of PNG. The funny thing is the description by the bro that gave em to me is different than anything I have ever heard about PNG. He described the plants as having the overwhelming smell of carrots?? Anyone heard this before??? He said when drying in the house the buds reak like fresh grated carrots and no one would know it was Cannabis drying?????

Some of the Parvati's i have have also a heavy sweet carrot fragrance and it stays for a long time in your nose.I like this kind of smell, it's totally different than from most cannabis varieties.

Namaste :plant grow: :canabis:

As funny as that is SS, the Papuans are Melanesians who migrated from Africa prior to the sinking of the Ancient Zamumu lands, whereas the passage from the Americas to the South Pacific was undertaken by Contiki and his merry band of Polynesians.:)

Hey Hempy - yeah that was the program.

Definitely Thai/Indonesian lines in the PNG Gold. But any strain exposed to that unbelievably fertile and fecund environment would mutate into super psychedelic heads after a few generations.

Naturally one of the Mullum Madness lines had a large dash of PNG Gold in it.

The best I encountered around there in the late eighties was chocolate brown and purple schwaag that looked like it had been cured under a log. No clear energetic Old Mother Sativa high - knock your arse down with one harsh drag, Blackfella Deities and Clever-men dancing in the silhouettes, Taipans whispering your name from the corners.

I was pretty young - why the hyperbole.

Prime UFO territory there though, Mullum is within Wollumbin - the largest extinct volcano in the Southern Hemisphere, and the most revered aboriginal sacred site on the East Coast of Australia.

The other stuff we had could have passed for Mango Haze. Gold colored connoisseur buds with fruity floral incense smell/taste.

Shanti would know if the MM had PNG init?

Not according to good old Rex Gilroy :dance013: It was the egyptians on their way to mine gold in australia/punt, maybe they were looking for lasseters (sp?) reef !

Ive read a LOT about this subject and ive NEVER heard the term Zamumu ? can you point me in the direction of a book regarding this (unless its yet another name for lemuria/mu ?)


Is Gilroy kicking around Queensland chasing pyramids ? :blowbubbles:
