Jason is doing amazing work by bringing together voices and perspectives from across the world of Cannabis. So, when he asked if l was alright for our discussion to be released like this, I didn’t hesitate to say yes. The informed and ethically grounded approach he brings is exactly what we need more of. In our era, awareness of where people and plant are coming from and where we’re headed is more important than ever.

Their interface lies between the Indus River watershed (the northwestern border of var. himalayensis) and the Kunar/Chitral River watershed (the southeastern border of var. asperrima).
