Swaziland: Gold Mine of Marijuana (Part 1/2)

Check out more episodes of Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Yd7M3JNlw&index=2&list=PLDbSvEZka6GH9XhvsMrwH7hC52LGWbXEQ

Watch part 2 here: https://www.youtu.be/pM7ZBT9SO1M

Swaziland is a landlocked country sandwiched between South Africa and Mozambique. Despite Swaziland’s small size, it boasts more hectares of land dedicated to growing Cannabis than all of India. It is also home to Swazi Gold, the legendary sativa strain.

Hamilton Morris travels to Swaziland hoping to chemically analyze the cannabinoids present in some of the local strains. Instead, he finds a country steeped in political corruption and economic turmoil. Cannabis is viewed by many growers, users, and politicians as a drug that will cause insanity, but it may be Swaziland’s only hope for economic stability.
