What year was Indica used for hybrids in Mexico?

[Lugo]

I think you mean TIME magazine and that is by no means any reference on truth in this matter or any other as far as i'm concerned.

Regardless its an interesting possibility. More so for me that have found totally Thai phenotypes come up once in a blue moon among my Punto Rojo.

In the long run in that scenario the introduced variety would just be absorbed by the sheer numbers and huge genetic pool of the native species and thats just science.

My experience is that the plant has remained the same.

I do definetely get the impression that certain folks want to push a narrative that Colombian landrace Cannabis is not Colombian. Ive heard the same shpeal with the Afghan varieties being introduced as well and of Colombian BLDs yaddayada but none of those theories hold water culturally, historically or scientifically in reference to Colombian landrace Cannabis.

I do appreciate the post though!

I'm gonna go ahead and do a re-read. From what I read its pretty hideous drug war propaganda where were basically all these Colombian families took it upon themselves to invade the US with drugs, crime and violence jaja while at the same time getting guidance on what to plant from nameless 'traffickers' who appear with SE Asian genetics.

Its an interesting story but thats all it is.

If I find that Thai Alacran phenotype ill definetely let you know!

Theres an airport 20 mins away and you might know about our hometown hero Carlos Lehder so anything is possible I guess!



I think they tried maybe!

Only a gringo- I mean a Colombian would do something like that.

When words fail go with an emoji.

Amazing how people that don't live here, never have, don't know our history know dic* about Colombian Cannabis or our drug war history think they are experts on the subject by using a 1979 TIMES magazine (magazine they've probably never even read in their lives lol) just drug war propaganda probably ghost written by the CIA to try to make the point that Colombian Cannabis is a hybrid and that its Mexican or Thai influenced.

Talk about ignorance and desperation!

Nevermind that plant biology doesn't even work that way even if it were the case.

Colonialism in Cannabis exists.

Since you like to read so much here an actual document with references and an actual name attached @mexcurandero420

I also included the link to the entire paper which I recommend to anyone that want doesn't 'bro science' Colombian history.

LA "PREHISTORIA" DE LA MARIHUANA EN COLOMBIA: CONSUMO Y CULTIVOS ENTRE LOS AÑOS 30 Y 60

Theres also a summary in English por si acaso no hablas Español

Enjoy!

Well you remind me of that guy a few years back, who tried to convince us here on this forum, that Hawaii had landraces that went back to the arrival of the British fleet to Hawaii with Joseph Banks who gave Indian hemp seeds to the Hawaiians.

Mel Frank did send some genetics like Cambodia and Colombia to Phylos. Both were related.

Cambodia currently has no clones in the Galaxy. It has 18 relatives in the Galaxy.

The list of genetic relatives is ordered in descending relatedness. If a number appears to the right of the variety name, that denotes the number of clones of that variety that are currently in the Phylos Galaxy.

If you can show me pictures of the 1930s, 40s of Colombian people smoking, selling like I found from Mexico. Till now I speak of Colombian cultivars, not landraces.

Again Phylos is not an end all be all of anything in my opinion but I understand what your getting at.

I agree with you about the Hawaiian landraces bit, its a tricky situation when you have what is considered the landrace 'mechanics' at play lets say but not the time and with the constant stream of new genetics being introduced.

So maybe the pigs can be considered landrace in Hawaii but the herb not quite.

I posted a paper (attached) documenting Colombian Cannabis use in the 30's which includes police reports mostly, photographs not likely or hard to come by before the late 40's-50's

I'm reading some old documents and state sponsored studies on Brasilian Cannabis use atm now that are from the 50's but i'm still working on the translation.

Its a bit later (1958) but there are some cool pics.

I must be confused. What makes any of you think that hybridization wasn't going on in the 17th or 18th century? Somehow those people couldn't figure out how to cross this short version with that long version?

Oh, and it only happened on this date or that.

 

[mudballs]

Cuz the population density and societal interaction during that time doesn't support that explosive contamination theory

 

[53grayeyes]

Ignore the facts, that's the way to go.

Much _respect_ to Lugo and mexcurando420 for disagreeing without being fucking disagreeable. People _learn_ from these discussions and there's a whole shitload of lurkers who never post but suck this info in and _learn_, keep it up!!

Chris Duvall in his book Cannabis about Brazil & Mexico btw.

The first documents suggesting the psychoactive species are from mid-eighteenth-century Brazil and Mexico.Cannabis indica arrived in Mexico overland from the south, but the authorities did not connect marijuana with Cannabis until the mid-1800s. Mexican farmers were capable agriculturalists, and in the mid-1700s one successfully bred Cannabis to produce fibre in the central highlands. (This cultivar did not survive the farmer’s death in the 1770s, however.30)
Others kept trying, with modest success. In 1787 Mexican unfinished
hemp exports to Spain reached 2,000 kg (4,400 lb), when a large ship
required 100 tons of rope.31 The colonial government spent heavily to
develop hemp industries, but by the 1790s decided that the project was
an expensive failure.32
Colombia and Peru were other important areas of early Spanish
activity, and sativa failed in these low-latitude countries. Into the 1950s
Colombian authorities lamented the absence of hemp, while bemoan-
ing the presence of marijuana.33

The idea that drug Cannabis was introduced to the Americas –
particularly Brazil – via the slave trade was proposed in 1867,39 and has
become widely accepted despite minimal research. The main evidence
for African introduction is linguistic similarities between Brazilian
Portuguese and Central African languages. Additionally, in the early
1900s a Brazilian naturalist collected folklore that supports linguistic
inference: ‘The seeds [were] brought by unfortunate captives [who] tied
[the seeds] in pouches along the edges of their wraps and loincloths,
[and] who ultimately disseminated [drug Cannabis] to all of South
America and the Antilles.’40
Although this story is not repeated in other collections of Afro-
Brazilian folklore,41 it is plausible. Slaves entered the Middle Passage
mostly unprepared and often unclothed, but many crops crossed the
Atlantic on slave ships.42 There are similar tales of the concealed trans-
port of rice seeds,43 which are approximately the same size as hempseeds.
Indeed, the transport of drug Cannabis seed by a slave was observed
in Gabon during the 1840s or ’50s. The American observer did not
encounter indica near the coast, ‘but once . . . saw a few . . . seeds in the
possession of a slave . . . He was carefully preserving them, intending
to plant them in the country to which he should be sold.’ Unfortunately,
the American recorded few details because ‘Hasheesh and the Cannabis
Indica are so well known that it is not necessary to say anything about them
here.’ Instead, he repeated contemporaneous European drug discourse:
‘Insanity is often its ultimate result’, and ‘the negroes’ seemed unable
to resist the drug plant’s ‘gradual but sure advances’ into new areas.44 The
rare chance that an outsider observed and recorded indica seed-saving
suggests that marijuana was not unusual among Central African slaves.

Phylos data is completely and totally unreliable. When a user/submitter can specify the "name brand" of cannabis they are submitting and it's taken at face value to be 100% correct, who are you going to believe????

I could submit a sample of my 25 plus year IBL NL, say it's THH and who's to say it's not???? The Phylos DNA data is comparing other unknown, _unverified_ genotypes submitted as Hz with what I'm submitting. Just because it doesn't match up with what other people have submitted as Hz doesn't mean it's not Hayes because who really knows that what they submitted was true Hz.

The first time I saw the wide and diverse, yet _totally_ unrelated lineages of supposed NL's submitted on Phylos, I knew it was going to be complete bullshit.

I agree 100%. Who is to say that ANY of the strains in their database are what they say they are?

probably safe to assume that the 92 samples of OG kush that match up are what they say they are
