The discussion in the African Photo thread was getting a little off topic...instead of pictures and descriptions, origins and breeding was starting to take over somewhat enthusiastically. I take some blame as these topics interest me greatly
So, as a sort of 'clearing house' for things genetic and African, I thought a thread dedicated to these topics be started.
All regions of Africa should be covered by those of you who have the relevant information. One goal of this thread could be 'benchmarking' varieties and strains
I've thought about how to structure this discussion and failed to come to any conclusions. Initially, I thought it would be nice to make an outline and folks could post up their info as usual...then later we could 'fill-in' the outline with only the salient facts and give credits in parenthesis. This could prove cumbersome though and unworkable
A few topics: (add other topics too)
Origins
Regional
Localities (with possible route of transit)
Timeline
Varieties and Traits
Gross Morphology
Smoke Reports
Indigenous Cultural Practices
Political and Legal Attitudes
Travel Tips
Please everyone use good sense when giving information which could jeopardize anyone's safety. Many positive developments are happening currently with our favorite herb...but we are not 'there' yet. This 'heads up' is not meant to stifle information...just a precaution to 'think before posting'
The paper I wrote concerning Bantu migration leads me to believe they were not major conduits for Cannabis dispersion over a wide area. My next post will lay out the reasons why in an indirect sense: clues of cultural Cannabis practices worldwide will inform southern African Cannabis adoption.
The main points of this thesis are present in my mind, but I need
to organize my thoughts coherently and check some sources.
As always I want to be open for learning so if you have good reasons to believe your different conclusions are valid...please school me and the community with the facts
