Looks like the UK is going to be the last place in the world to ever be legal cañabis. At least for another ten plus years. Our governments are too uptight rod up their ass.
R.I.P the legend Franco 💯
Czech Republic is next with legalization! We have legalized growing 3 plants per person from 2026!
Unfortunately without coffeeshops, but better have something than nothing..
Glad you got the mics straight old vids are aggravating lol trying to make out thecwords that pop in an out sure sm are good mics so I figured it was possible keep up the good work brother
Sadly the actual Situation in Thailand is getting worst, in terms of cannibis politics and the conflict with Cambodia…
UK is bad for everything we get access too. Or that’s available .it’s all crazy food. Just look at the sudden rise of low and high level mental health. It aint the drugs it’s the poison from pollution and it’s poison in the food etc .the lack of ecological diversity also and yes drug abuse is bad but a Coke head now is more mentally suffering than a Coke head 30 years ago. I think all drugs are ok in moderation and if we all ate and lived healthily the drug uses would be healthy also.
I do believe Trump will surprise everyone
The knights code of chivalry etc etc ain’t just fairytale that stuffs real man and is an example to all. Build a foundation on those principles and it’s going to be strong. Peace yahl
What he was saying about the PGR and the puking .. good heads upp tho . . should be more known here in the Netherlands.
Such a great episode, thank you! Where in the states can we find their powdered nutrients?
13:59 HOOOLLYYYYYY Arjan im sorry to hear the OGs was that picky even back in the day, those two strains are HELLA similar in retrospect, i love both so i can say that. only ever had and found some CatPissKush once but it was a great unique one, provided you actually LOVE DANK WEED Lol.
Just popped some super silver haze !!!
3 seeds and I’m hoping for girls 🏁🏁🏁
Mongolia, calling it.
soooo: Skunk #1, Northern Lights, Haze and many other ‘modern’ hybrids were introduced to the Netherlands in the 1980s by breeders such as Nevil Schoenmakers (The Seed Bank, later Sensi Seeds) – and appeared on the scene and in coffeeshops even before Arjan’s first coffeeshop (1992)
Arjan and the late great Franco are and will always be 2 fundamental pillars of cannabis culture.
Thank you for all you have done for this plant!
I have had CHS since 2015. For a few years DRS and myself both at first didn’t know what it was and i had alot of tests, bloods, cts ect At my very worst I lost 18kgs in 7 days. It was all very worrying and confusing until I did my own research and then diagnosed myself with CHS, after DRS unnecessarily removed my gall bladder too mind you and for a long while I was I denial that THC was the cause, though through many years or changing diet, lifestyle ect I was still getting very very sick and then I had the realisation that yes it is the cannabis, no matter where it was sourced and i mainly consume my own organic soil grown. It’s funny though I have been growing, smoking and purchasing my own cannabis for most of my life and have never been sick before 2015. At first CHS symptoms may look similar to IBS, CHRONS ect. You suddenly get VERY lethargic and feel tired. Then the stomach cramps start, the uncontrollable nausea. The only thing that help ease symptoms at first may be a hot shower/bath, capsaicin rub. And i have found through my own experience that a hot water bottle with applied pressure to the LEFT side of your body helps and as does sipping BLACK TEA and heavy bass music. Though if you do need to go to the hospital ask for Haloperidol , an antipsychotic medication aka the HALO 😇 is used because it help stop or ease the stomach cramping. Through MANY MANY years of this happening now I have concluded that people like myself must have a predisposition to high amounts of THC introduced to the CB1 CB2 receptors in long term high use amounts, DR RUSSO also speaks about this in his findings. I have personally found that I can still smoke cannabis (mainly my own orgnic soil grown) and don’t need to give up completely though I do need to take regular tolerance breaks, from 1-3 months, which seems to help too. I also find that eating certain foods can trigger symptoms too ie fatty foods. CHS was first recorded in aust in 2010, though its only gaining attention now due to more people consuming high THC cannabis IMO. I think the endocannabinoid system is just getting over exposed to thc at large doses at 3+ grams per day. There is suggestion that those with CHS can still use CBD without the same symptoms as using THC products, though more research needs to be done.
This was a KILLER episode! Big cheers, such legends in the community. Many thanks for the work you guys have put in
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉! Another great episode!
I don’t understand how GHSC gets so much hate in the Canabis community, I been growing there stuff from the beginning, they have really good genetics.
So I got my copy of the breeding book. How long do I have to keep it under my pillow before the knowledge seeps into my brain?
I’ll strain hunt with you, ARJAN!
🫡🫥😶🌫️😎✋️💯
"PICK ME"
Arjan is so right about the THC percentages in the US vs. Dutch grown. US breeders need to learn more from other nations. Cultivars in the US on the commercial market are so over bred and the effects are so bland and taste and smell the same. We don’t want the bland hydro super high thc bud anymore.
NOT ALL IONS ARE CREATED THE SAME MAAN. GROW A SALT PLANT AND GROW A BIOLOGICALY SOURCED NUTRITION PLANT AND COMPARE THE TWO AND YOU WILL SEE A CLEAR WINNER AND AN OBVIOUS DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO but i will say we cant all be purists all the time as much as we would like to be so settle for our own situational situation and try our best to build on that. Peace yahl
James, what do you use for nutrients?
“Ive never seen haze grown in california” haze is from california
Is that the guy who plays Denethor in Lord of the Rings?
F bag appeal
The more I listen to Arjan, the more I like and respect him. I don’t understand the hate he gets.
arjan and franco are my teenage day idols with a few other old-school veterans and pioneers, theyr old 240kbps videos of them both telling us stuff about their strains was the moment I knew that I wanted to grow cannabis aswell and support the legalization movement, this is not just a herb to get stoned, this is way more, its a lifestyle. jah bless everyone.
Growing Arjans Super silver haze this year✊
I was in the dam in ’88 & there was as much quality weed in the coffeshops as hashes, much of it dutch grown too, arjan has a selective memory…..
exelent genetics from greenhouse i started some guava gelatto and auto bomb…beatiful fenos
I love how Arjun doesn’t hold anything back! ❤😂
Loved listening to francos passion in his voice.
dammm getting into organic vs coco, an hour in, gooooooooood discussion
Lib haze is a really good plant. Tho there are many good plants lib haze is one of them.
What a legend Arian is and what a great human for hes stance on Israel horrible child murdering state
Joia international send ❤
My all time favorite breeder I’ve ever had the luxury to grow seeds from. Such stable varieties and a true connoisseur. Year to year it was like I was growing clones from feminized seed. Can’t wait to start his new varieties I have stashed waiting to pop!
What a EPIC talk guys. Thank you all 3 of you 💚 RIP Franco 💚
Listen to this ppl.!
This is the best podcast you’ve done. Have them back on again!
Firstime i bought an eighth of resin hash me and my mate spewed up. But firstime smoking resin before then it never made me sik. Maybe theres something in the maybe the farmer used salt fertilizer or mould sprays etc. ????
Salts are not hazardous chemicals. The chemicals in salts are already everywhere, living soil included. Living soils have more to them than strictly salt based hydro. They still have phosphorus in them.
He’s wrong about think salts are unsafe, or different. Organic to him is some weird gray area he can’t explain. As long as you don’t use harmful chemicals like pesticides or hormones or anything, it’s just as safe as non salt based organics.
These compounds are the same whether in manure or salt or in a vacuum.
I hope the super lemon Haze and super silver haze fire cause i plan to grab both nd at least one them exotics like noir cake or moweeto
Cannabis hypermesis. Poisoned weed! Pesticides, same crap they have done with our foods!
I’m now a gardener in Washington, raised in SF, smoker for 22 years now, so grateful for these guys work, literally probably the reason I have a career in Cannabis now. Great lessons hidden within this video, love the touch on branding and the cannabis visual genetic selecting going on.
1:14:11 i had the same Symptomes . Chelates is a force osmosis in hydro .
That is Not healthy. Of course you get sick from Pestizides and synhtethic Minerals . The only way growing is to Go Natural biological with Minerals . But Not syhnthetic Minerals in liquid Form bottle stuff which is connected to EDTA‘s and Chelates. Arjan take out the Chelates . There is no Need for Chelates as ph Range extender. Always use humates !
Chelates Are accumulating also Uran and many Heavy Metals. That is why hydro weed is so hard Like Stone . I dont like to smoke Heavy metals .
Indicas Take up much more of These Heavy metals and when its grown with Chelates then you get of course sick. That is why you say Cali weed makes you sick .
An appeal to nature is a logical fallacy.
The plant available nutrients are chemically identical. There is no evidence of CHS correlation with salt nutrients.
Such great info . Thank you for the content watching them all . Awesome stories and great advice for everyone from the home grower all the way to a large scale facility operator. Keep the content coming . Def on my must watch list
Yeh those money me just take every part of a company into pieces and sell off every aspect and then there’s no original one dynamic concept left. It’s all fractalised into dollar signs .and ideas and image etc etc .good foundations are better than bad ones. And you catch more flies with honey than you do shit man. Peace
