Ask the taxi drivers, there is no shortage. In the sols PNG weed has a bad reputation. Not regarded as being very strong. Weed from Bouganville is held in high regard though. Guadacanal is where the good stuff comes from. Ganja is sold at every market place. Sometimes in the open laid out infront, sometimes just a lady sitting there with a small carboard sign with a leaf drawn on it. Its strong stuff.

If looking for PNG weed in oz i would be getting a job on a prawn trawler that works in the gulf / torres strait.

hey terrior ,
thanks for sharing man ,
good knowledge,
the friend i have living there said much the same,
the locals often rush and pick too soon
handling methods , drying etc are poor ,
and product suffers.
that smokey smell from hanging in a hut just isnt nice , hehhe ..

its readily available from what i hear , quite cheap ,
its probably the type id even scratch my head on its worth as bubble hash ..

on a good note ,
i finally did get some highland png gold seed ,
just been wintering them before trial ,
first planting in horrid conditions produced nothing ,
ill be patient and plant to the moon on the next run after a stint in the fridge for the seeds ..

Sounds like an awesome strain.

I hold the PNG. Its here in Hawaii.. The one I have smells like tropical carrots.Funny, I know.. People don't associate the smell with cannabis, it smells like i just shaved a bunch of carrots. The best part is the high, wow, its majical. Like colorful psychedelic strings in your head that swirl and play. The high soars also, just keeps rising..Good Pot
I will say thay it needs work, like any landrace, its raw. Im gonna do a preservation project with my last remaining seeds, and if it works out, I will put them on the server fund

Hi to all

It is very nice to find you here Donald.

It's very sad bad news to read that about Ben Thomas and High Country's relative. I´m sorry.

JOJO420 keep them alive, and at least a big handful of seeds unhybridized.

Greetings.
