Finally, after years of reading on the Icmag forum, I will introduce myself.
I germinated my first seed in 1998, and since that passion has not let go, only when my travels have not allowed me to grow.
I worked in a growshop, which allowed me to learn from the wonderful people I met, and sometimes pass on in return.
I also had the chance to go to agricultural school, and to travel to work on farms.
Coming from the rural world, I have always had a passion for seeds, vegetables above all, that I have always found as beautiful as jewels. And cannabis seeds, because I am impressed by the history of this plant, so important for the Human and the multitude of possible uses.
In Africa I participated in conferences on peasant seeds and the need for "small family farming" to preserve old varieties and independence from multinationals that are gaining foothold in developing countries.
I think that one day the cultivation of cannabis will face the same problems as the rest of agriculture, with the monopolization by some large groups, the right to market seeds, in 5, 10, 20 years or more, but I fear that this will happen.
This is why I think that communities like Icmag are very important, in order to guarantee the small farmer, the necessary knowledge and access to a genetic material free of rights and reproducible, before there are only female and sterile triploid varieties on the market.
I learned a lot with Icmag, so thank you for giving me so much reading and passionate debates about the magical plant during all these years...
