I'm pale,white,& very Irish.
That makes me a potential star in an Islamic youTube video.
No,thanks.

Hehe, I'm pale, white, ginger & very British.
Not that that makes me a union-jack shorts-wearing, lager-swilling tourist lout.
I would love to travel round the Middle East, but sadly the US, Britain and France have fucked with the Arabs so many times they won't get over it for a very long time!

I'd expect to find two types of indigenous cannabis genes in Iran:

1. Indicas introduced at some time in the past for hash production, probably similar to Reeferman's Turkish Hashplant which comes from the Eastern part of Anatolia just to the N of Iran.

2. Sativas similar to Lebanese types, also often used for hash production, but also smoked in herbal mixed with black tobacco, they grind the bud and leaf into a fine powder and it is often called kif although it;s not the same thing as proper shaken kif hash powder, the term kif is a general slang term in the Arab world.

Before 1979 and the deposing of the Shah, Iran was a very westernised country with a huge educated class, Iran and Beirut in the 70s were both very Bohemian, cultured places thriving with cafe culture and hashish, I doubt there is much of the cafe/hashish culture left, but I'm sure there is still lots of hashish in Iran. I think you'll have to make friends with locals in order to score without taking silly risks though. Due to American sanctions over the years, Iran has become a generally poorer country and the War with Iraq tore the heart out of a whole generation, remember they marched human waves of students over Iraqi minefields and had swathes of half-trained kids wiped out by chemical weapons and air attacks, so the Iranians today are generally poorer and less friendly than before, so don't trust anyone you don't know who offers to help you score something, the police pay for information and have many informants on the payroll, so you're more likely to get duped and arrested than score something to smoke.

If it's seeds you are after rather than something to smoke while you are there, I'd try and visit some rural areas in the north and east of the country and look for wild plants to gather seed from, but if you're not in Iran at the right time of year, there won't be any seeded plants! If you are a foreigner, you may need a guide/escort to accompany you at all times outside the cities, police roadblocks everywhere and foreigners travelling without official guides will just get thrown into the hearest cell and labelled 'spy'.

Good luck and don't take any risks, they hang people in public in Iran all the time!

Some info I found that might be handy:

Cannabis in Iran


Cannabis in Iran
Policy, variety and prices

While Ahmadinejad tries to scare the whole world, his citizens can't stop getting stoned. Look around you, MAHMOUD AHMADINE-BUD!


Legislation
Iran has a very interesting policy towards buds - planting marijuana is legal if planted for food purposes (Iranians 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.

Enforcement
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. Last year, however, Iranian authorities arrested about 50,000 drug users ranging from weed smokers to heroin junkies. This was mainly due to the increasing amount of heroin replacing traditional opium smoking resulting from higher profits to smugglers.

In general, always use common sense and caution, and remember a smile is better than a frown.

Where to buy Marijuana in Iran
You can find Hash at any park in any Iranian city and just walk up to the young bored looking types hanging out. Always bargain!!!

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

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

Hash Prices:
1. Afghani 2 Dollars per gram
2. Pakistani 2 Dollars per gram

Iranian police have arrested more than 50,000 people for drug use in Greater Teheran alone in the past nine months, according to the head of the Office to Combat Narcotics in the city. Thousands more have been arrested in the city of Mashad, he said in an interview with a state-run news agency last week.



International Anti-Drugs Day activity in Tehran, Iran, 2001
"A large proportion of those in custody, who comprise people from different sectors of society, are between 25 and 30 years of age," said the anti-drug official, Major Ghodratollah Mahmoudi. "These individuals were arrested in different districts in Tehran and the majority of them used opium, cannabis, and heroin and only a small percentage used cocaine, morphine, and other narcotics," he said. Mahmoudi added that cannabis use was increasingly popular among people between the ages of 18 and 35.

Mahmoudi said the amount of illicit drugs seized from users in the last nine months in Teheran was more than 1,500 pounds. He added that this figure was separate from the much larger amount of drugs "discovered in the hands of drug lords." With a long history of opium use, Iran is a key transit point for opium and heroin flooding out of Afghanistan, as well as a final destination for some of it.

According to Mahmoudi, citing government figures, the number of illicit drug users in Iran totals some seven million out of a population of slightly more than 70 million. While there have been some indications in recent years that Iranian authorities are seeking alternative means of dealing with drug use, such as forced drug treatment, Mahmoudi's announcement clearly indicates that the Iranian war on drugs and drug users grinds on.

I've heard interesting stories of soldiers bringing back interesting genetics....
America and some allys are occupying some major locations of great genetics.
Usually just rumors, but it'd be nice if I knew a guy who knew a guy... lol

A soldier brought this back from Afghanistan a couple of years ago...

 

[cain23456]

Packages mailed from Iran are sure to be checked when it hits the U.S. ...Any text, emails, us mail, calls, thoughts, ya mother thoughts will be checked. Forgot Iran if it comes to the U.S. Bush will have you water boarded...lol

 

[Guest]

This is an Egyptian plant I grew from seeds i colelcted there myself a couple of years back, I expect sim,ilar genetics will be growing in Iran:

 

[Herbalistic]

Finally some speculation regarding Iranian genetics, way to go British

I have to take back my words after searching old post´s regarding Iranian genetics..

Chizzle1time did bring back & grow Turkish genetics, not Iranian one´s...

I would also thought that Iran has sativadom hybrids cultivated for hash. These indeed are those hashplant "indicas" that so many of us generalize them. After closer look, or growing them they see the sativa charastetic in them..

What im after is that not all Middle Eastern genetics are indicadoms, there are many sativadom hashplants cultivted there. This also explains the trippy & motivating high produced by Middle East, North African, Turkey etc.. hash

 

[Guest]

I totally agree herb, most middle eastern hash is uplifting in it's effects in my experience. That Egyptian is a sativa, Raco's La Bekaa Lebanese looks similar and is also a sativa, I would expect Iranian lanmdraces to be related to Lebanese. Here's some pics of Lebanese crops:

Pakistan borders Iran and here's a funny snippet I found:

At the time, our Islamabad main office was based in a building called ‘Saudi-Pak tower’, along one of the main avenues. At first (and second, and third,..) sight, it was a weird looking office building. Weird, in a good way. You could not see any windows, but it had an exotic, Middle-Eastern flair to it. I spent a couple of years working in Saudi Pak towers. Quite some memories.

Wild Cannabis
You needed to pass a security checkpoint next to the building before being allowed to drive onto the parking lot. This caused a bit of traffic jam in the morning, when everyone was coming to work. Next to the checkpoint was a piece of bare land, with different billboards from the UN agencies and NGOs based in ‘The Tower’. Sometimes the weeds on the bare field were growing that high, they would almost cover the view of the billboards. As I was sitting in the car, queuing up one morning, I thought at first, I was mistaken. But no, the wild cannabis was growing that high, it almost covered up the UN Drug Control Program’s billboard. I thought it was quite symbolic. How to control the drugs in a country where hash grew in the wild, uncontrolled.

Here's the pic that went with the article, those look like wild sativas to me, being several metres tall!

Here is a short article by a guy who actually visited Iran in 2006, doesn't sound too threatening:

http://joaoleitao.wordpress.com/2006/08/29/shiraz-by-night-iran/

Shiraz by night, Iran

Shiraz can be very calm during the night, something it isnt during the day. Its rushing streets and noisy cars almost disapear after 11pm. You can just walk in the city centre without getting lost without getting to far away from your hotel as people say it can be not that safe during the night. You can just go out and drink some tea and eat Falafel.

Shiraz is not that far fro the Iraq border so this should be one of the main reasons Iranians were worried i was actually visiting the area. The funny thing was that I was very welcome everywhere I would go, being on the majority of time almost “escorted” by nice people that would take me to where ever i was going, just in case I needed something they say.

shiraz by night iran iraq border middle east

Shiraz castle walls by night:

This is very pleasant to enjoy during the night as it has night light pointing at them. A walk in Shiraz can be not as safe as Esfahan for example, but for sure you’ll have to give it a try.

As the city is well known for being unsafe during the night, the streets are empty so you will have the whole boulevards and avenues to walk by yourself. This is a great difference comparing with Esfahan for instance, a city used to foreigners (in Iranian standards of course as there’s not much tourism in the country anyway…), people go out until late. Not as much in Shiraz. I was hungry so I found a small kebab place opened with this very curious people that start staring at me. hehe, I have to say I was kind of scared to even go inside this small place as when I passed they were looking very strange to me and their look wasn’t that friendly. But I needed to eat something and this seemed to be the only place opened so I decided to give it a try. I thought: what tha hell, Ill buy some food and I’ll go away right after. Conclusion: those guys were so friendly to me after. Not in the begining. but then one of them just told me to sit down and eat there as the streets could not be very safe. Conversation after conversation, they now knew I wasn’t American hehe (sorry guys, but these ones didn’t like Americans that much: but don’t worry cos they don’t like Israeli even more hehe) and they end up offering me a bottle of juice. I ate some great Falafel and french fries.

Loads of articles about travelling in Iran as a tourist:

http://joaoleitao.wordpress.com/category/iran/

 

[Herbalistic]

I have found many times that the people who judge Middle Eastern, Turkey, Egypt etc.. hash/weed indica, havent been there by themselfs and base their opinion in secondhand information..

Whats most annoying is that people seem to be so sure about their opinions.. I have smoked hashes from many muslim countries and all of the good grades have been very uplifting, cerebral & even trippy! Most trippy hash I have ever smoke was in Turkey! Turkey was also the place where I "witnessed" cliff full of cannabis plants. The wider leafed & short/stocky ones were planted in the upper cliff, while the narrow leafed & tall varieties were growing more down

However, I wasnt into growing in that trip, so I didnt gather as much information as possible, but what I can recall it seemed like those plants at the bottom of cliff were definitely pure sativa, or very sastivadominants

Only good grade "indica" like hash I have smoked was from Afghanistan, almost every other has been cerebral type of hashe´s.........

Yeah, how to control "drugs" in a country where there are huge variety of cannabis genetics growing wild and the erb´has been part of their culture for at least centuries?

Or..

Why should one even try?

It´s sad people will violate civilians of hostale goverment even thought the citizens wount accept their regimens politics! However, this antiamerica thang should at least wake up Americans to think with their own brains and vote that puppet / follower if the puppet out of the whitehouse!!!

And before any American IC:er comes and ask why I push Americans down, I say I dont do it, I know there are great number of Americans that thinks the current regime is horrible to humanrights, personalfreedom, different colored than white people, poor people & for world peace. I hope these Americans are the majority + that they vote when next president is choosed

And for all those who cannot understand this hostile enviroment at many muslim countries, I would say look at your foreign politics...

Once again.. Not trying to diss Americans, I only wanna make people think why many muslim countries are hostile to Americans, that´s all, honestly...

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.

In 1951, under the leadership of the nationalist movement of Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, the Iranian parliament voted unanimously to nationalize the oil industry. This shut out the immensely profitable Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), which was a pillar of Britain's economy and political clout. A month after that vote, Mossadegh was named Prime Minister of Iran.

Under the direction of Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., a senior CIA officer and grandson of the former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, the CIA and British intelligence funded and led a covert operation to depose Mossadegh with the help of military forces loyal to the Shah, known as Operation Ajax.[4] The plot hinged on orders signed by the Shah to dismiss Mossadegh as prime minister and replace him with General Fazlollah Zahedi, a choice agreed on by the British and Americans. Despite the high-level coordination and planning, the coup initially failed, causing the Shah to flee to Baghdad, later leaving for Rome. After a brief exile in Italy, the Shah returned to Iran, this time through a successful second attempt at the coup. The deposed Mossadegh was arrested, given a show trial, and condemned to death.[citation needed] The Shah commuted this sentence to solitary confinement for three years in a military prison, followed by house arrest for life.[citation needed] Zahedi was installed to succeed Prime Minister Mossadegh.

The American Embassy in Tehran was reporting that Mossadegh had near total support from the nation and was unlikely to fall.

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!
