Up until last year I traveled the world as an international correspondent for a major news organization. The past five years I have stayed stateside as I am too old to hide from bullets and bad guys anymore. It is a young man's game.
I WAS young once and was able to see many things (3 wars) and all that goes with it. The upside as a rabid marijuana historian, it occurs to me many of the grows I saw are gone. I will use this thread to tell of some of great true marijuana adventures I participated in. This will include saving an ancient strain called "The Giant Tikal". When we found one at the Copan ruins our Honduran friend who was 89 at the time told us he remembered this weed, from his youth and had not seen one for 40 years. We chopped the plant and took it to a biology student who made clones and seeds and the "Giant Tikal" is still found in some parts of Honduras.
The biology student traveled Honduras and Guatemala for the next ten years like Johhny Appleseed. I figure he must have spread 10,000 seeds over his lifetime and it has come back enough that many seed banks now sell a smaller but potent Tikal.
We also discovered three Mayan ruins on this six month adventure while being accompanied by Guardia with M-16's. In our news reports seen worldwide, about the ruins, not Tikal pot, you can see the Guardia with their weapons peaking from behind trees not wanting to get in the shot. Several others did want to be seen and did the "Hi Mom" stuff whenever they could. We were so loaded we did not care. Lots of expensive film did end up on the cutting room floor.
Please tell us here of your "Marijuana Travels".
