Bud, I'm fairly certain that seedbay ships frequently to canada with a near perfect success rate. However, I'm no expert you may wish to ask dutchgrown or another canadian member.
What is the muddy waters line, "gimme a little reefer when I wanna get high, but don't gimme no cocaine."?
I watched shotguns and accordions the other night. There were some very valuable interviews with cannabis growers and smugglers from around senaga/santa marta. Unfortunately, there was no information on cannabis use on the banana plantations during the plantation period (30's and 40's) or anything else that would give a better clue on where it came from. It was a terribly sad movie as it was made just after the fall of the trade in colombian gold. There were two mafias in the region, the white mafia (spanish descendants) and the black mafia (afro-colombian). One interviewee (I know, I can't spell) provided an interesting story of what he attributed to the fall of colombian gold. The demand at one point had gotten so high that the growers supplying the american smugglers who'd come had started putting miscellenious materials inside the bricks (dirt, various plant materials and even cow shit). The americans eventually caught on and started paying in counterfeit dollars. When the colombians started going to the banks with the money that they didn't know was counterfeit the banks stopped dealing with anyone that didn't look apropriate for posessing that kind of money. Then presumably the banks and larger members of the white mafia opened casinos which allowed the easy laundering of money for the less wealthy individuals involved but of course they lost a lot of their profits in gambling. This cycle just continued until the growers and transporters were just so preyed upon for their profits that they could no longer afford the necesary bribes to keep law enforcement in check and the whole deal dried up. The white mafia eventually moved on to cocaine production and smuggling while the members of the black mafia ended up putting the multiple girlfriends they'd used their wealth to acquire into prostitution. Like I said it was terribly sad. The wealth and the presence of the american dollar ended up having a very negative effect on the destruction of the culture then when the money left a very bleak picture remained when many longed for the days of working on the banana plantations.
