Strains in iran

[Herbalistic]

BH Lebanese bekaa valley some pics. The seed stock I grew was from 07 seeds, but lot of hermis...this girl was the onlye female but..finishing flower 2 bananas appear...

She's a pure landrace!!

And she´s a beautiful landrace Ras Pablo

But yeah, these cultivated landrace lines are holding great amount of plants that have intersex trait strongly expressed. And when we think these "line´s" are cultivated for hashproduction it doesnt sound too odd anymore. Farmers got plants for hash making + they got seeds for the next crop

Once again, thanks for the links BH

 

[supahdupah]

Looks beautifull Ras!

 

[esbe]

i like princeofpersias iran landrace "teheran devil" very much

[ElectroSticky]

My friend is going to Iran soon and visit some family and he is going to look for some seeds for me.
He´s gonna spend most of the time in the capital, Theran maybe travel around a bit.

Anybody got some info?

thx!

PEACE!

I agree. They also have reason to hate us Brits and the French too. In 1918 a French civil servant called mr Piquot sat down to lunch with an English civil servant called my Sykes and over lunch they drew up the borders and nation states of the middle east. They hadn't a clue about Arab affairs and only wanted to carve up the region between the two colonial powers of Britain and France, Iraq is a complete clusterfuck because of the Sykes-Piquot treaty, three different villayets of the ottoman Empire (Basra, Baghdad, Mosul) populated by people who each follow a different version of Islam were forced together into an unnatrual nation state, the result being decades of infighting and misery, Iraq should have been three seperate states, one based around Mosul and Kirkuk for Kurds in the north, Sunnis in Baghdad and Shi'ites in Basra in the south. Saddam was a Sunni so oppressed and murdered many of the Kurds and Shi'ites.

Despite that, in 1991 when the Brits went into Iraq, we were hailed as 'Beni Haji' - sons of Haji, who was some kind of prophet, the Americans were cursed at and called 'Beni al-Hasan' - sons of dogs (might have got the word for dogs wrong, bad memory!) but you get the point, they hated the US even then, while they were quite pleased to see the Brits.

Second Gulf War was the same at first, the Shi'ites in the south were under British Control and we very pleased to have us there. Now they look at us as being lapdogs of the Americans, although on the ground, the British troops are held in higher regard than the Americans as the Brits have decades of experience in policing Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Aden etc. and have a less heavy-handed approach, the Americans got it badly wrong with their attitude and approach and were seen as conquering invaders by the Iraqs who were made to feel like they were having their noses rubbed in the dirt like naughty children, the Brits came in with a different attitude and were seen as liberators by the Shi'ites. Today, we're not really fighting the Iraqis, it's all the Moslem fanatics that have flocked to Iraq from all over the Moslem world to fight the evil US and it's allies, us Brits are now damned through guilt by association.

Next time one of the American memebers of the forum has some hostile thought about Iran, remember that your country has been largely responsible for the horrid harsh Islamic fundamentalist regime that has oppressed the people of Iran for the last 28 years. When the British finally left Persia after WWII, the Iranian people democratically elected a man called Dr. Mossadegh who was an Arab Nationalist and saw clearly (and perfectly correctly) that Persia/Iran was a poor country and could be a rich country as they posessed immense oil wealth under their sands. The obvious move was to nationalise the oil industries, the oil wealth was flowing directly into British coffers as the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, British Petroleum, etc. had built the oil wells and exploited the oil and the profits. Britain was bankrupt after the war and in massive, unpayably huge debt to America (the Lend-Lease agreement may have provided a load of Sherman tanks and Liberator bombers, but the Americans made us pay and pay and pay and we still are paying for those bloody Shermans!) and so was beholden to the US in foreign policy.

Now, the US was extracting every pound, shilling and pence it could from Britain and if us Brits lost the huge flow of cash from Iranian oil, we wouldn't be able to pay our debts to the US so Eisenhower had the CIA stage a coup in Iran and place the Shah one the throne, the Shah was a wildly unpopular playboy Arab prince and he replaced a popular, democratically elected government, so was never going to have the support of his people. The Shah ensured the oil wealth continued to flow to his western masters in Britain and America, he was a good customer of British arms and bought large number of jet fighters and tanks from Britain, a nice cosy arrangement as far as the west was concerned, Iran was a puppet Arab client state firmly in our pockets. Shame the poor old Iranians weren't happy and getting shafted royally.


They put up with this western exploitation and manipulation and the Shah's increasingly oppressive dictatorship for 3 decades before they could take no more and they turned to an extremist Moslem called Ayatollah Khomeini and had an Islamic Revolution, the good old, traitorous-as-ever French enjoyed their part in letting him return to Tehran from Paris, the French are still pissed off at the US from the DeGaulle days and Suez.

So the current situation in Iran was a wholly US and british creation, we sowed the wind, now we are about to reap the whirlwind. So remember that the next time you see Iran being critised by some right-wing US politician. The CIA are clearly a criminal organistion who feel fully justified in overthrowing democratically elected governments in order to steal the natural resources of a country and supporting a totalitarian dictatorship for decades just to suit their own ends.

Iran ain't the only example either, the CIA have done it more than once, Batista in Cuba, Guatemala, Paraguay, Iraq etc... It would be rather strange if any Iranians, Iraqis etc. harboured ANY kind feelings towards the US to be honest, hard to not hate a state that had fucked you royally for decades on end.

In America they salute their flag, in the rest of the world we burn it, what does that say about how the rest of the world feels about the US? Not the american people, the monster military/industrial/corporate/big banks/oil dynasties complex that has come to have total control over US foreign and domestic affairs. I have loads of good friends who are Americans, I don't hate Americans one bit, but I absolutely revile and abhor the nation state of America for it's actions since 1945.

Do they teach US schoolchildren about the CIA's foreign meddling?
If they don't they bloody well should!

Operation AJAX:

Operation PBSUCCESS:

The 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, a covert operation organized by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency to overthrew Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, the democratically-elected President of Guatemala.

You need to keep in mind that you brits have been sowing imperialism and genocide for hundreds of years. We're still relatively new to it. Give us a good 200 years and then MAYBE your rant will have some weight. Hello pot, my name is kettle?

Also, you're kidding if you think British troops are held in high regard in Iraq, knowing many people FROM Iraq, I can tell you that's bullshit. Saying you like Americans, and then totally rubbing our faces in something we have no control over is contradictory. I've followed your grows for awhile, and have quite enjoyed them, where this tirade came from I have no idea. Perhaps you should leave politics to the politicians and stick to what you do best.

i would´nt go there alone either as a white foreigner.

i wish one day we can all open our minds up a little bit and learn to accept people.
i would love to grow out some iranian, pacistani or even lebonese strains, only aquireing them in person. but since i cant visit alot of that region without being hated(book by the cover) that wont happen. its unfortunate as being human we all have hate 'inbreed' into all of us. everyone (but the pussy swiss) has an enemy OF SOME TYPE.

id like to return home still in one peace; blood pumping, of course, and with my head firmly attached.

its quite sad, so many american really dont stand behind bush even one bit with 'his war' one of my best friends in high school was egyptian.

i guess being canadian(born) dosent make me anymore LESS DISLIKED over there.

id be nice to get some iranian genetics, id paid good money for seeds like that.

 

[PrinceOfPersia]

Hello all.

Just saw this interresting thread, and ohh wow u guys should really take a trip to Iran and see what this place has to offer to us seed lovers .

I am currently in Iran for breeding purposes, and i have more than plenty of iranian strains to grow out. It is very exciting playing with some of theese new genetics the world hasnt yet seen. Im gonna do some crossings with iranian x iranian and some crossings with some hopefully nice phenoes of some of the different crosses esben have been working on.

A few names for some of the iranian seeds are:

Black Ace
SoS
Special A
AaA
Ahmadinejad <-- this one is funny

Theese names were given by the guy i got the seeds from. He is my family and he is just as much in love with this plant that so many of us are. So i thought it was fair to make him name a few hehe.

Enough of my project. I will probally make a thread later his year with iranian genetics. so if u are intrerrested keep an eye out for it in the outdoor section.


Now to the law regarding growing.

It is not legal to grow in Iran without a permit. Permits are given to thoose who grows for seeds or for medical benefits.
But nobody cares if u grow and most ppl dont even know what it is if they were passing by cannabis plants. Actually u will be suprised if u visit Tehran. There are cannabis many places growing wild, mostly small ones but sometimes you can be suprised finding big plants growing nicely.
Theres also many shop's growing Hemp outside theyre shops where many thousand ppl pass everyday. Im not sure if they do to smoke it or they just do it for the seeds so they can feed theyre canaries that many locals have outside theyre shops in cages. Mostly 1 single one for singing. If u were to be in tehran in summertime try to visit an area called "moolawi" u find many of shops here having nice plants outside. A bonus will be u can fnd the best hash in tehran here .
Also if u wanna find other foreigners "tajrish Boulevard" is a good place to look.

FOR NOTICE***
Hey, dont listen to naysayers about not going to Iran because you will be killed, thats so far from the truth. In most places you will feel more than welcome and actually also be suprised to see how friendly people are. But u can expect a good coneversation about geo-politics or other intellectual topics.



Conclusion?
Go to iran with no fears. Collect your beans and contribute to the community.



Peace pop

 

[supahdupah]

Hey!

your breeding prodject sounds very intresting, and very intresting info
THX!

 

[bigbag]

iranian seeds are a great base for potential brood stock.dr.greenthumbs endless sky has or is iranian indica and is said to be amongst the strongest indicas.one would think they would be acclimatized to arid,hot and very sunny conditions.
back in high school i was friends with persian royalty(princess),here in canada.they fled iran during the iraq/iran war for fear of thier lives.if i ever breed with persian/iranian genetics and create an elite line i shall dub her;Sharnoushian(my friends name)!

 

[vinivici]

i didnt read all the posts so if this was already said ignore me,

in iran cannabis seeds are considered a delicacy you can buy them by the kilo raw at the market. a friend of mine brought me back almost a 100g of seeds many different shapes and sizes after seeing esbe's tehran devil im very eager to grow these out

 

[Bodhita]

I will visit Iran soon...planning on taking the train from Istanbul. Really looking forward to the trip. Might visit Turkmenistan too. Will definitely bring back a few seeds...

 

[Gunnarguchi]

this reminds me i have some Endless Sky f2 i might be able to squeeze into my next grow
from what ive heard they have great potential as the potency is way up there and also the yield
might snap some clones and let the mothers try to fight the danish weather outside and see how they perform

crossing the endless sky to either Royal Dane, Early Dane or Danish Passion could produce some good outdoor cross i think
for indoor i can think of many but crossing ES with Nepalese jam i think could give a high yielding potent indica/sativa hybrid

 

[StrainCollector]

Hahaha. There are no marijuana plants in Iran. I lol'd.
But as for Rezdogs comment.. I know you're a somewha respected home pet project breeder, but wow you aren't knowledgable in the least about the world, are you? Not one of the stereotypes you presented are true. Gaza is exponentially more dangerous than Iran, and it's ridiculous to even compare them on the same scale at all, and to do show really shows a lack of any practical working knowledge of the regions at all. Second, it's not dangerous at all for a lone white person to wander around the streets of Iran, you can verify this right now by calling your embassy. Sorry but they aren't the hairy terrorists you imagine in your spoonfed cartoony world view. Iran has a known and well established reputation for being some the most friendly people in the world, sometimes even TOO friendly. Iran has a system of politeness or chivalry called "Taarof", (google it) and they actually practice it fullheartedly and go totally out of their way to be friendly, it is the very reason they are regarded as such polite population. Infact, if you ran around Iran all day, even as a white American, yelling "I love pork!" you would still find it difficult to even bait someone to get upset at you. Even their speech patterns are based around politeness. Lastly, the "Islamic" youtube videos you speak of, Well umm those clips weren't made in Iran.

Also food for thought, one of the largest candlelight vigils to show compassion and mourning for "pale,white" Americans that lost their lives on September 11th, was held by, believe it or not, the people of Iran.

Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4.5



Legislation: Iran has a very interesting policy towards buds - planting marijuana is legal if planted for food purposes because in Iran ranians still eat the seeds just like sunflower seeds, and there are also companies in tehran that draw the oil from the seed and sell it legally.

The punishment for possesion of marijuana is a fine of Iranian Rials 10000 (US $1.25)for every gram in your possesion and as long as you have less than 10-15 grams they will not even hassle you. Please always use common sense and caution and remember a smile is better than a frown.


Law Enforcement: Police would be no bother if you don\'t act silly. If you are a foreigner then for sure you\'ll face no problems at all, but if you are caught a few dollars will solve the problem.

Smoking it though is technically illegal but enforcement is next to nothing. You can walk anywhere in Iran and puff away and no one will have any idea that you are smoking weed. Most people here smoke hash or opium so smoking weed is considered as OK.



Where to buy Marijuana in Iran: Hash is found every where. In parks or street anywhere you see a group of youngsters smoking or talking, don\'t hesitate ask them and at least they'll know somewhere near for getting hash.Getting weed needs contacts. Dealers are mostly working in western parts of the city. Walking around markets and streets in western parts you can ask young people with the rap style or long hairs like hippies for sure they\'ll have the dealers telephone number and will help you out. If you are lucky and get to the right person you'll get one of the best stuff you\'ve ever smoked.




Marijuana prices and Brands in Iran : Marijuana Prices

1. Indica Variety High Potency 2-3 Dollars per gram
2. Sativa Variety High Potency 3 Dollars per gram
3. Indica Variey Low Potency 1-2 Dollars per gram

In Iran people smoke more Hash than Marijuana but that trend seems to be changing as better weed enters the market.

Hash Prices

1. Afghani 2 Dollars per gram
2. Pakistani 2 Dollars per gram


and also: "About 3-4$ per gram for weed. 1/4 ounce pack for about 15$. 1/2 ounce 30$.
Hash prices are a little cheaper. 1$ per gram."



(Personally I feel him and his family should stay in Iran and should not have been let in the US in the first place unless he was filling some role that the country desperatly needs and that company can prove they could not hire an American. No one needs anyones 'skills' from Iran. Now that families dreams have come true instaed of an Americans. He will work continualsy to bring more of his family over always keeping 1 foot in Iran, one foot in the US and 'overtakes' jobs, education, medical services from Americans. Just my opinion I had through out there. Dreams should be coming true for Americans first, not international families abroad)
