Memoirs of a Cannabis Breeder - Captain Jack (Documentary Interview)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- 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.
Hes the kinda guy you could listen to him tell his stories for hours on end

Thank you Cpt. Jack. I grew out an afghani kush plant and it was by far the biggest plant I've ever grown - what an amazing plant cannabis is, the world could be so different..
How can the world be different! Do tell!
@@axandio without cannabis, I never would've gotten stoned, thought of an app idea, submitted the app to a contest, won the contest, and gotten my first job. Getting high put me in the mindset to come up with the idea and motivation to win it.
Wow! What a legend. Thank you for helping make cannabis what it is today Captain!
A bit of a reach legend I don’t think so
@@tommygunnz5224 Shucks you missed national suicide prevention day to end your life but the day after seems ripe too!

Thank you so much for doing this back then and now. Im living in the Netherlands and can not grow my own medicine unless im dying of cancer.
I have ADHD and indicas are my medicine of choice so thank you so much for bringing us the kush brother.
My seeds come from the Netherlands.
Same dude. I tell people all the time I can only smoke indica. My adhd and saliva turn into a tornado of anxiety. But I got an indica sweet spot. Acts just like medicine.
Thank you for your efforts in the community 🙏🏿 truly appreciate you brotha
What a great life story! Thank you for your passion and tenacity !
Captin Jack single handily brought indica to America. Thanks Jack. Everytime I get couchlock I remember the Captin who made it happen
No you don’t.
Huh?😂😂 this dude was a baby when the 1st seeds came to the Westcoast via the hippies of the 60's.
That is the truth@@209Twinz209
LOL! I just woke up from a nap.

What a great interview! I'm an old stoner, 63 now, and I loved the original SNL. Always knew that was going on. My mom and I would die laughing at all their skits. Is Capt Jack still with us? I followed his IG and the last thing is from 21 i think....Hopefully still alive!
What's SNL Sir? Please can you explain what it means? I was born in 1988, so I think that term or whatever it is, was before my time.
Saturday Night Live?
@@CodyRayDees513 ok, yah I looked it up, nevermind.
I’m so glad some are able to tell these stories. A lot of us need these stories along our way👊. Thank you 🫡 🧬
45 years now for me and I'm good at it
Legendary.
Would love to try some of his afghanica. Agree 100% that most stuff out there today no matter the taste or look give almost the same effect and there are few and far between that truly stand out.
Thanks Captin. I can't wait until I can try it. I'm in Louisiana and I am hopeful that we will be soon.
Don’t hold your breath here bro… this place more corrupt than DC… fk um just roll with it…
infinite Gratitude from Mississippi
You sir are inspiring thank you
Back in the 60's & 70's(UK /Ireland) a lot of us young adults took a sabbatical to a kibbutz in Afghanistan or somewhere before settling into full time employment.Everyone used to come back with pockets full of seeds.It's getting harder to track their descendants now..
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. I have a product that will do this and much more. Thank you for this release, I haven't felt this good about my many years in the game until this take. Stay Up and Stay Blessed My Brother.
Great interview! Really enjoyed the history and stories, thanks CapN'
A true LEGEND 💚💜💚💜
Props and respect to all the OG’s out there 👏👏👏
An amazing human being
Jack personally: Friend brought seed from Afghanistan to Vermont in ‘75. Whole area smelled like skunks everywhere l. Gave Many seeds away. I grew for it original landrace; widest leaf’s I have ever seen. Some still doing it since then, keeping strain excellent.
Hit me up for history fellow hippie freak Jack! Still living history, Marc✌️❤️🐝☸️
Good for you! It`s been 50 years since I got busted and grew my first plant in ohio, now 52 years closet smoking, wish it was legal here! love to trade some seeds?
How things change in 7 months.
I’m a fan! Thanks for sharing your story; I love everything about your adventures. How does one purchase some of those afghan seeds? ❤😊
had your saturday night live strain back in the day I forgot what you called it grown on maui it was the best I had and I'm 65 Thankyou Captain Jack
What a cool time to be around during the greatest time in SNL.
Oregon seems like the place to be.Nice stories👍😎
Absolute legend and the creativity of snl
Whats SNL?
Saludos desde Chile genios
I love the weed that leaves you laughing your ass off too. Alas its not available in most markets.
The only man in the game that isn’t full of shit up to his eyeballs. 🍻😎Cheers Capt.
❤😂🌎
Plant breeding is incredible. Fun fact: Many don't know that a plant's seeds are its grandchildren due to alternation of generations.
What?
I bet you have some amazing stories you can`t share !
Nice to see someone grow plants to there potential instead of this bs small pots for a quick turn over rate to make the money I’m a big pot guy and this dude gets a thumbs up👍 big plants are the way to gonif your going to do something something do it right make it worth your effort.
True OG
Perfect wake n bake story😅 thanks Jack
loved it
Thankyou 🎉You are the Man 👍👊🙌🤟🏻❤️
Good old captain jack!!!
This is what a breeder should sound like. Don't tell these kids, though. LOL
Check out the leaf form on the tree right behind him
Thanks captain
Cool guy, interesting video.
Where can you get his seeds? I’m on the East Coast of the US.
A lot of Weed Legends come from the NYC area...
I want some of those seeds Cap'n
I've been to Afghanistan and rolled finger hash from the resin. I would love to go again, not in the role of a soldier.
At 24:36, it was a pleasure to hear my name. 😂🎉
I swear I met this guy before.
Are his seeds available?
Iv been growing for 45 years now I do all right
I see you hold your accent well!
Nice
Growing for seeds must have zero contamination of pollen from outside sources or on your clothing .
It is private no access area during flowering stages.
No friends or fan tours allowed !
I need his contact I have seeds from Afganistán from world war 2
What is the variety or strain? is it for sale anywhere
I'm another grouchy old hoarder,
still living in the "land of prohibition". lol
Man, when I go over to my uncles he really resists looking at his plants during the day in case the neighbors might see him.
The neighbors are 80 years old.
He is still paranoid and it's legal to grow here.
I can't talk him out of that mindset
@@josephhertzberg2734 It's what us old timers have had to endure over 50 years of the fear of getting busted for a damn "weed". Ordering seeds and praying you didn't get a knock at the door from customs. You younger folks have no idea what it's been like. People bitch if they don't get their order in 3 days or less in todays world. Lucky if ours came in 2 months if they came at all. lol
Plus!
Did I mention the smell?
The smell is what got you busted. The "Skunk" is not the so called "Skunk" today.
That about all I'm gonna say about that. lol
The old fellers know what I'm talkng about.
good video
Now the entire market is indica dominant and nothing gets you that high. Oops
I wonder what a 40 hour work week looks like in this here normal world!???
Sensi seed company damn I was young back then..I remeber
nice thumbnail
Where can we find Captain Jack seeds I would love to grow some of the old landrace cultivars
No you wouldn't
?@@omuerta7605
@@omuerta7605Wut why
@@terryskorczewski4727Belushi's company, maybe.
How old is Captain Jack ? He seems too young for this story.
He looks no more than 60.
Man wish we were shown pictures from the 60/70's in Afghanistan and plants of that time...
There's an Afghan channel on UA-cam who still sorta grows pretty old school big plants you should check him out I'll try find it and link.

I absolutely loved this! I am a 64 year old scientist myself, lol. I’ve grown since I was 14 years old back in Illinois. Now in California, and loving it! And, like Jack, I have my own lil’ baby. Thanks for sharing!

Living in Manchester, England, dreaming of a greener future
I lived there for 5+ years, levenshulme, rusholme, chorlton, fallowfield, how is the life there now?
@@backinprezentrecords13 good here in Ladybarn! I've lived in Fallowfield, Withington, Rusholme and Manchester is my favourite city. Good prices for bud, good turnout on 420 at Platt fields
Dudes got such a positive attitude, what a legend
How would a person purchase some of the captain jack gilzar afghanica seed? I absolutely love the story and would like to work with that strain!
Thank you for sharing your awesome stories with us. Much of it is very familiar and brings back a lot of good memories! Really enjoyed this❣️
WHERE DO WE GET THE SEEDS NOW?
A bro check my dogs out @SuperiorPresa
Isn't he growing on the Belushi farm? Or is that just a tv gig?lol
Such a great chilled guy!!lively interview and thank you guys for everything ✅🇿🇦
This is amazing. To be able to grow some true Afghanica would be a dream
Brought this strain back to Wisconsin from California in 1983… 10’ tall plants in the short grow season here. Thank you very much. Peace
Beautiful plants! Those Afghanica leaf structures are mesmerizing! Thanks Jack.👍💯🙏✌️
I love the smell, as soon as I catch a whiff. I’m like a magnet son I’ll breath in even deeper and appreciate how truly amazing Mother Nature can be.
Karen: “that stuff stinks” (sprays cheap hooker perfume)
I can listen to this old guy all day, these younger breeders are all full of their image and are ego driven. Don't ya just wish people would drop the look at me and jealous of others attitudes?
Yes !!
I want to try his strain he's talking about. I know Jim is growing a version called "Captain Jack".
Good stuff Jack and G’day from down under.
Thank you Captain❤ Much love & respect for your passion! Crawdaddy❤
Awesome ❤ total respect for Captain Jack ,preserving the Good stuff😊 Cheers from B.C Canada hope to try your seeds one day soon.
In the UK in 2023, this man's house would be raided by police at 5am, everything would be taken from the property under the Proceeds of Crime Act, he would face up to 14 years in prison, and be left with nothing. The UK. In 2023.
Thanks for paving the way Jack. God Bless The Cannabis Breeders! ⛽🔥
Thank you, Indica ! What a great video, thank you so much for the genetics. Interesting hearing your philosophy, kindred spirit. I like me better this way, too 🧙🏼♂️
You're OK, Captain Jack. As you said, we are all the same.
Would love to hear the origins of the monker he got of the name of Caption Jack?
Good all around kinda guy... God Bless.. I live in Vermont.. Afghani weed seems to grow good here because of the similar climate as Afghanistan has...
Great episode 👏🏿 👌🏿 👍🏿
What a legend.
What a Great story Captain Jack, Thank You so much for sharing!!! I would Love to 1 day be able to grow the smell of SNL and of course Smoke It 😤😲🥰😂☮☯💚🔥🌿
This man deserves his flowers so to speak!
When you see someone like you who smiles the way you do, you can tell you are very good-hearted and a loving person. I really enjoyed the video i hurt my back years ago, and canibus has been amazing in helping me cope with my pain. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.❤❤😊
It’s nice to hear old times HS in Germany 🇩🇪 72 finished school and lots of black Afghan 50 cent a gram or better. I know part of his story. 😊
Captain Jack 4 PM!
Love from AUS❤❤❤
Jack, it sounds like you knew the Original Founder's of the Super Sativa Seed Club! Before the Sensi Seed guy! Much Love from Lashkar Gah!
I think he is referring to Nevil who started the seedbank of Holland mail order catalog and got in trouble in which sensi seedbank bailed him out to get thier hands on nevils genetics and the cannabis castle where Nevil became the master breeder before going to greenhouse seeds. Karel from SSSC was none for the second seedbank but closed after Nevil got in trouble. Both Karel & Nevil as well as positronics & flyiin Dutchman got most thier base stock from Sam the Skunkman aka Dave Watson💚
@@anthro_sensimilla8020 Shanti Baba! Maybe went over to Greenhouse! Heard it from the Fly on the Wall!
I wonder if the guys who he is talking about are the same farmers who grew and supplied hash to boel that schultes also met during his visit to Afghanistan
Thank you captain Jack !!! 🎉🎉
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
I saw a clip where he said that he hoarded great genetics for years and I get excited when they say or talk about releasing them
