I stumbled over this while I was getting directions to TEXAS for FWEEDOM FEST this weekend, but it's too good to wait. 


Arjan is a premier cannabis breeder in Amsterdam. He own's one of the most famous of the Dutch coffee houses & seed merchant -GREEN HOUSE , I was in there back in 89 for the first time. But I did not meet Arjan until the 8TH HIGHT TIMES Cannabis Cup in 95. He was giving lectures at that cannabis cup on cuttings and selective breeding techniques by the Dutch Masters. 
He was very gracious with answering questions and talking with all of the judges all week when I saw him out and about at all the events. Green House wins a lot of the cups for years and have acquired excellent strains.

My favorite story was the trip taken by NEVILLE(story about him to come) to aftganistan to bring back HINDU KUSH & a pure AFGHANI strain (half of skunk genes).
I couldn't believe my eyes to see what ARJAN has done. A reality show on the adventures. I'm so fucking jealous not to be on these trips! 
Check out his site and BTW it's open on 420! If you don't have an ACCOUNT. 
HERE IS THE WEBSITE FOR THE SHOW-ENJOYhttp://www.strainhunters.com/ . I'm off to play my first weed festival. 

HAPPY 420!

This post will be geared more for you intellectual stoners & you stoner philosophers to ponder.   

This is for me the best lecture I have ever sat through.  He is an Author who writes likes a great books about our food. He is not a pot activist. 
Wikipedia list this book Author as-  Michael Pollan (born February 6, 1955)[citation needed] is an American author, journalist, activist, and professor of journalism at theUC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.[1] A 2006 New York Times book review describes him as a "liberal foodie intellectual."[2]I stumbled upon this youtube lecture he gave at UCLA after his book was released "Cannabis, The Importance of Forgetting, and the Botany of Desire". 
He makes a great point of how much do we need to remember and what would be the purpose of forgetting. 

Here is an honest documentary about Marijuana. If a loved one you know suffers from pain or is going through any form medical condition and is being told Marijuana could help them. 
Have them see this documentary.
