Memoirs of a Cannabis Breeder – Captain Jack (Documentary Interview)
Memoirs of a Cannabis Breeder – Captain Jack (Documentary Interview)
Meet Captain Jack, a legendary breeder whose journey began in the rebellious 1960s. A life-changing encounter with a mythical Afghan hashish sparked his fascination with the plant, leading him to visit a small village out side of Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan.
After befriending the growers in Afghanistan, they graciously gifted him with their precious cannabis seeds. With these prized seeds in hand, Jack set forth on a mission to cultivate his own Gulzar Afghanica on the West Coast of the United States.
The aroma of Captain Jack’s creations filled the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza, becoming synonymous with SNL and its legendary after-parties. Today, Jack’s legacy as “The Smell of SNL” endures, inspiring the community and preserving a remarkable chapter in cultural history. Join us as we explore the captivating world of Captain Jack, his botanical wonders, and the profound impact he made on an entire generation.

Thanks captain. Omega-3’s are essential for the formation of CB1 receptors that attach to our central nervous system; these cannabinoid receptors also absorb the phytocannabinoid THC and the endocannabinoid 2-ag.Jun 26, 2020Thanking all growers breeders cultivators lovers of the master plant. She breeds passion and homeostasis cb2 receptor inhibits sars2. Ganja is a medicinal treasure trove. Support your local farmers peace and love.

Where can you get his seeds? I’m on the East Coast of the US.
Specially when creation was happening all the plants and everything else was already there before man stepped onto the surface so that means the only rules there should be on cannabis is the right to grow your own in your own house all natural. In remembrance of Mike Kavanaugh and the finest cannabis on the planet.
Weeds tight
What an adventure you have had for a life, thanks for sharing your amazing journey.
See what happens when we don’t film everything gotta go by peoples word anybody can say anything. I’m sure he had a hand in it single-handedly I don’t know about that.
I thank the people that broke ground ahead of us and made it possible for today but I never want to smoke what they first started with ever because I’m old enough to remember that garbage😂
what a beautiful talk with a great guy!
blessings fron Berlin!
What a lovely guy 🙂 Thx 4 sharing <3
Anyone else in the back of their mind wondering if the origin parent of og cush came from this guy.
Nice!
EXCELLENT video!!! Did you learn anything about hashish making in Afghanistan? I have been making small batches of hash for about three years, using shake that I buy at the dispensaries, now I LOVE smoking hashish instead of "cabbage"! xD
Hes not ah breeder. He didnt create anything. He went to Afghanistan and swiped some seeds
That leaflet behind to the left of his head. Looks like it’s got that erm double morphology .I seen that same repetition in broader leaf varieties .you know what I mean it’s like a double leaf set .
So on point about plant expression!Go figure
Seeds are AmAzinG!Will travel. Carry a big field of plants in your pocket. From over there to over here.
Thank you,
Captain Smart Cookie
We grew a short-stature indoor Indica variety on the west coast in the late 1980’s. We cloned that plant for nearly 4 years. I’ve never seen cannabis like it. My friends were amazed. I’m 67 now, and back into growing legal indoor scene in Canada for my personal use. It’s nice to think that our early seeds may have come from this man’s efforts.
Frankly an ass for hoarding seeds. That’s not the easy we brought ganga to the states and shared how to do it.
Where can I locate your Afghanica seeds Jack?
Thanks captain!
What is the best surfing strain?
Thanks to the Afghan citizen who let jack bring back their seed.
so where can i buy his weed??
Thank you for your services!!!!
What a legend.
Jack Your An OG In The Game, I Been In 25 plus years and you have said so many truth’s to how the old days were. I ma back in myself however to help people cure cancer 1 million is my goal.

Boy don’t he have the life? He really knows how to perfectly romanticize being a hippy weed grower on treks to afghanistan huh. Geuss a lie some of us can only dream and try to achieve. I grow weed.. ive always grown weed..but my life hasnt been like this. For me his life is some utopian dream
Does the strain Jack Herer come from this guy??
Indian hemp, hash plant, yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy.
he just talks to me if ya know what i mean
I so wish to work with Jack!!!!!
### *Holistic Process for Psychedelic-Assisted Trauma Healing (PTSD/Shell Shock) with Permaculture, Spiritual Integration, & Long-Term Support*
This framework integrates MDMA/LSD research, permaculture design, spiritual practices, and relapse prevention for a 2–3 year recovery journey. It draws on clinical trials (e.g., MAPS MDMA-PTSD studies), traditional plant medicine integration, and trauma-informed permaculture principles.
—
#### *Phase 1: Preparation (Months 1–3)*
*Goal:* Stabilize, build trust, and align with natural rhythms.
1. *Screening & Education*
– Medical/psychological screening for psychedelic contraindications (e.g., psychosis, cardiovascular risks).
– Educate on psychedelics’ role in PTSD: MDMA (prosocial, fear extinction), LSD (cognitive flexibility, mystical experiences).
2. *Permaculture Grounding*
– *Land Connection:* Daily grounding practices (barefoot walking, gardening). Design a personal/community garden (e.g., medicinal herbs, food forests).
– *Ritual Creation:* Develop sunrise/sunset routines (e.g., tea ceremonies, fire circles) to regulate circadian rhythms.
3. *Microdosing Protocol*
– *LSD Microdosing* (10–20 µg, 1 day on/2 days off) to enhance neuroplasticity and emotional regulation (inspired by Fadiman’s protocol).
– Journaling: Track mood, somatic responses, and nature interactions.
4. *Support Network*
– *Peer Circles:* Small groups for shared storytelling (trauma-informed facilitators).
– *Mentorship:* Pair with a permaculture elder or spiritual guide.
—
#### *Phase 2: Acute Treatment (Months 4–6)*
*Goal:* Address trauma through psychedelic sessions + ecological integration.
1. *MDMA-Assisted Therapy (2–3 Sessions)*
– *Clinical Setting:* 8-hour sessions with therapists (MAPS protocol: preparatory talks, music playlists, eye shades).
– *Nature Elements:* Sessions near water, plants, or open skies to enhance safety. Post-session walks in green spaces.
2. *LSD Macro-Dosing (1–2 Sessions, Optional)*
– For treatment-resistant cases: Moderate doses (75–150 µg) in ceremonial settings (e.g., guided by trained shamans or therapists).
3. *Permaculture Rituals*
– *Post-Session Planting:* Symbolize growth by planting a tree or perennial crop (e.g., lavender for calm).
– *Composting Metaphors:* Physically bury written trauma narratives to decompose into “soil” for new life.
4. *Spiritual Anchors*
– *Breathwork/Yoga:* Trauma-sensitive practices (e.g., pranayama, Yin Yoga).
– *Ancestral Healing:* Incorporate culturally relevant rituals (e.g., sweat lodges, ancestor altars).
—
#### *Phase 3: Integration (Months 7–24)*
*Goal:* Embed insights into daily life and community.
1. *Microdosing Maintenance*
– Rotate MDMA microdoses (1.5–3 mg) for social reconnection and LSD microdoses for creativity. Pause for 1 month quarterly.
2. *Permaculture Projects*
– *Community Gardens:* Co-create trauma-healing sanctuaries with labyrinths, herbal apothecaries.
– *Wilderness Solo:* 3-day nature immersion (fasting, shelter-building) to deepen self-reliance.
3. *Relapse Prevention*
– *Triggers Mapped to Land:* Identify trauma triggers (e.g., loud noises) and pair with natural “resets” (e.g., submerging hands in soil).
– *Peer Check-Ins:* Biweekly calls with support network.
4. *Spiritual Praxis*
– *Daily Altar Work:* Offerings to symbols of resilience (e.g., stones, feathers).
– *Ecstatic Dance:* Community drum circles for embodied release.
—
#### *Phase 4: Long-Term Resilience (Years 2–3)*
*Goal:* Sustain autonomy and mentor others.
1. *Permaculture Leadership*
– Teach gardening/land stewardship to new participants. Host trauma-informed wilderness retreats.
2. *Sacred Economics*
– Develop micro-enterprises (e.g., herbal teas, mushroom cultivation) for financial sovereignty.
3. *Relapse Response Protocol*
– *Emergency Kit:* Contains CBD tinctures, grounding stones, and mentor contact info.
– *Booster Sessions:* Single MDMA/LSD session if regression occurs (yearly, if needed).
4. *Legacy Building*
– Co-author recovery stories into community art (murals, oral histories).
—
### *Scientific & Cultural Foundations*
– **MDMA**: Enhances prefrontal cortex-amygdala connectivity, reducing fear (Feduccia et al., 2019).
– **LSD**: Increases amygdala response to positive stimuli, aiding emotional reprocessing (Mueller et al., 2017).
– **Permaculture**: Mimicking ecosystems reduces cortisol levels (University of Essex, 2020).
– **Ritual**: Structured meaning-making buffers against PTSD recurrence (VA Boston, 2018).
### *Cautions*
– Screen carefully for substance abuse history; avoid LSD in dissociative PTSD subtypes.
– Partner with clinicians for SSRI tapering if needed.
This process merges psychedelic neuroscience with ancient earth-based wisdom, prioritizing *sustainability* (of self, land, community) as the core of trauma recovery.
Thanks Man!! Sheesh I would love to hear your L stories!! I know you got some 😉
I am SO glad for all the amazing work you did to share this treasure with us! I hope Oregon helps the entire USA see that legalization is a good thing, and Congress finally decriminalizes weed, so that other countries can also decriminalize and we can all have a legitimate worldwide trade, and people in far away places can earn a living doing something positive.
I just popped some Williams Wonder. Well at least I hope I wasn’t lied to about the genetics. But that’s what I ordered. Because this is also what I’m interested in.
We call gentlemen like him the tip of the spear to go to afghanistan the pakistan to do all that back when crazy😊
check thise wierd indica dom hybrids leafs behind him!!! J?
Hi Jack! Greetings from CT Ned from Cedar Beach says hello. 😊
I’ve always loved indicas, thank god for the landraces from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the surrounding area. I honestly think landraces are so much more interesting than things like cookies or zkittles tbh.
So true. Even using seeds from the same plant different growers will get different results.
Godamn love this guy .for all I don’t know about him this docu vid just rings true about what cañabis really is at it’s roots I could re play this over n over again. And I love hashish and as a 13 yr old teenager I probably smoked a boat hold or two. Peace yahl
I would love to get genetics from this man. I dig the seed only concept. This guys smoked up phenos that guys would absolutely kill for a cutting of.
How fucken great was this
