Here we go again!
We board a flight from Amsterdam and in 9 hours we are in the Caribbean. After a layover of just a couple of hours on Curacao, we fly on to Jamaica. We land in Kingston around 11 am local time. The air is hot, but not too humid.
We have a 3 hours layover, so we decide to get out of the airport and go have lunch in Port Royal, half an hour away on the coast. It's a bit of a ghost-town, once a very rich merchant harbor, destroyed at the end of the seventeenth century by a powerful earthquake. It looks like it never really recovered…
We eat lunch in a small fish-restaurant, famous for its snapper. But I eat jerk chicken because I am picky with my fish, and the jerk-spices here are amazing!
Of course we drink some Red Stripe beers, and Simon and myself decide it's time to find some weed. It does not take long before we hit the jackpot: literally on the side of the local Police station, along the seaside, there are some barracks and shacks; inside a group of Rastas is busy cleaning and chopping weed and rolling it up in small balls, using rolling papers as containers.
We ask if we can buy some, and the guys are thrilled. It's cheap, less than 1 Euro per gram. But it's a bit bitter, very leafy, and we enjoy it just because it's been a while since we smoked in Amsterdam! Some of the Rastas in the back are smoking crack cocaine in a glass pipe, the smell is terribly sour. They ask if we like some, and we politely tell them we are just here for the ganja; they nod, and scream "Jah Rastafari"!
We sit and smoke a joint with them, and chat a bit about the local weed, and the cops. It's incredible that this is all happening next to the Police station.
We leave as soon as the joint is over, and we go back to the restaurant to join the rest of the crew.
It's time to get back to the airport and catch a Jamaican Airlines flight to Montego Bay, where our local contacts are waiting. The flight is really short, under half hour, and we arrive in MoBay before sunset. Bigga, Shanti, Nampo and Taleban are waiting for us and it's great to see them again; Arjan and myself spent some crazy days with these guys not long ago, during our scouting trips on the island.
These guys are a tight crew, and they are going to take care of us during the next days of this filming trip.
Nampo is a older Rasta, wise man, with lots of contacts and very respected.
Taleban, his friend, is a grower and a smuggler, a real pirate and one of the funniest guys we ever had with us during our expeditions.
Bigga is our driver/bodyguard, he's a man of the road and he knows who and what you need to know to keep us safe.
Shanti is a local singer, a reggae artist with an amazing talent and a great personality. I know him since he was 10 years old, back in 1994, when I spent a few weeks near where he lived with his father (the man supplying me with fine herb at the time). It was really special to find Shanti during our scouting trips back in July, he's now a grown up man… and I am getting old! Shanti will come along and make sure the soundtrack of our travels is inspiring and inspired.
We get the cars, two Toyota Fortuner, and we load up the mountain of gear we are carrying. Then we drive down to Negril in the sunset light, and when we arrive it's already dark. We decide to spend the first night at the Blue Cave Castle, a really cozy place on the rocky cliffs of Negril.
It's another true 1994-flashback for me, this is one of the places where I stayed when I was a 20-years-old ganja-traveler, already a Strain Hunter without knowing it…. Of course to make the flashback even more intense the same room where I slept then is available, so I take it.
It still looks the same.
We are tired from the long travel, and we decide to go for some food. Unfortunately the chef is sick, so we decide to find something not too far away. We hit a jerk-chicken stand by the side of the road and we eat like there's no tomorrow.
After a few Red Stripes and a few joints we go back to the hotel, where we smoke some good amount of high-grade weed, and some "gum", the local finger-hash.
The weed is definitely an indica-cross, it tastes sweet and strong, and they say it's from a site not too far from where we are. We make a plan for tomorrow, and we go to sleep. Jamaica is great. It's a true privilege to be here again.
Jah Bless!
And now we are back with MisterX pics, the man is a true artist..... enjoy!

2019 and Franco Loja is still remembered every single day. Much love from South Africa
Legal Grow ZA how did franco die
He contracted a form of cerebral malaria while he was searching for a strain.. I think on a trip from Africa or something.
Legal Grow ZA that’s right
I love these guys RIP Franco🙏🏾
Did he die?
@DankWeed jo? Sry for not having a clue
@DankWeed feck lmao
@DankWeed common bro😂
@@maslauer6411 yep, from malaria while he was in the Congo on another strain hunter expedition. And sadly, we just lost subcool from TGA a week ago.
This is great. Would love to meet some of those old growers.

thats real shit

+Renny thomas well said but he didnt give credit to the real people who wrote those lyrics
Mouth watering stuff. These guys have the best job ever.
Bamford Steele facts
True. But tbh there are quite a few people who travel the world searching and hunting for different strains.
Mike Hawk u child, where is your mother does she know you made this acct
Bamford Steele its very mouth watering
Bamford Steele these mouth watering stuff made me so happy and so jealous
It reminds me of the hills around where I live. Northern California has that same rocky soil and cool climate with the pacific wind currents. Beautiful.
Those people are living the real life! Much love en respect from the Netherlands
Alright i gonna move to Jamaica.
J* me 2
I m too
me too
Hell ya
for real doe
Jamaica looks amazing
Must be a beautiful trip walking amongs green freedom. Great vid
wow thanks for sharing a bit of heaven that is Jamaica
Guaranteed that Bob Marley is still watching over his people & ghanja
Thanks for sharing this GR8 video wish we could share some lambsbread landrace in a glorious spiff. God bless Jamaica. Wishing I was there.
I understand they are very poor but part of me yearns for that simpler way of living. Not this make lots of money at a job you hate to buy shit I dont need, but really live life and enjoy each moment and each breath you take. Each sunrise and each night gazing at the stars and dreaming of what lies beyond them..... that is a life I could live and die content knowing I did not waste it
Word Up... Well explained, beloved..
I agree,quit your job and move to the countryside, grow your own food and live as simple a life as possible.. its not easy, but its an amazing experience not having to answer to anybody but yourself, The real richness in life is FREEDOM, not as society would have you believe, possessing as many material objects as possible.. its all rubbish, just my two cents..

Amen

love the show. please do more.
damn those jamaicans are so lovely
@Austin izzyton fucking piece of shit
pepe astro yes we are and very friendly and happy all the time
thank you❤
very interesting
nice pleasant attitude from the native people there. That would be a most relaxing place to be a part of ...even only for a vacation. LOVE the friendly , awesome people.
"Forget the time focus on the quality." Best advise to growers everywhere.
Awesome Job pls never stop to travel and show us more :)
Great movie guys, love what you do, keep it growing, peace and love
alotta respect! such good hearted people beautiful culture with an awesome connection with life
I wish I could smell through the screen.. that stuff looks amazin !! 😳
Top class, good job guys! I especially like the idea of promoting green tourism to provide the farmers of Jamaica a means to sustain their livelihood (38:30).
Such a positive approach and "thinking out of the box" is what is needed to end the cycle of debt and dependency in which countries like Jamaica are locked.
This documentary was eye opening
This plant is the only plant that'll save this planet
MOAH FIYAH!!!
And dmt and mushrooms
Spread the herb around the world will fix some problems.
starving kids in africa can have the edibles
all problems!!!!
So stupid. You think marijuana is going to save lives from illness, war, and starvation? Stop being such privileged phonies and do something that actually helps humanity or just stop talking; you're dumbing down the more naive people reading your comments. You're greatly contributing to the idiocracy.
выдыхай, бобёр
I agree, Weed Is the only product WHO can make this happen! Alkohol and Shitty other pills and Drugs Need to Go from this planet !!!!
If everyone on the planet was more like these Jamaicans, There would be no wars, Every one would help each other without question, politicians wouldn't lie they would act honorably. hits blunt~ These people are poor as fuck and super happy all the time, they've figured it out, Not sure who Jah is but he sounds alright w/e.
Jah Rastafari
yes man you right man bumbuclat
I think you have no idea about the real Jamaica... Have you ever been there?
No. Actually then everyone would be a bunch of hippies. Just FYI check the crime rate in Jamaica. Highest murder rate in the world. Homosexuality, or rather buttfucking another guy is a crime. These guys might seem happy, but they actually live in poverty. Look at how angry they are at their government.
FYI it's not the highest in the world, everyone is angry at their governments
This is why I've wanted to live in Jamaica. Cost of living is high but you have work, you have nature, my thing is the pot, but just this, the happiness and the in-touch vibes these guys exert are just plentiful feeling.
i miss Franco so much...i like how he used to smell the plants...fruity,piney,mango..Rest in peace!!!!
awesome, but I can't understand some parts. english subtitles would be great!
Thanks! still a great documentary though, well done! The natural hydoponics seemed a little odd, but it worked well! I would be so afraid of mold..
Nikoma Grob The natural hydroponics was a technique use in the Amazon region of south America before the spanish conquest. It was used to produce food and sustain a large population. I suspect this technique is the actual inspiration for the modern science of hydroponics.
phr tao
Thanks for teaching me something, awesome!
I didn't know this !
greenhouseseeds Hey guys! Are there crocodiles in Jamaica? Maybe a stupid question but those swamps looked like they held some freaky creatures lol.
TheOnlineAce Haha i just thought the same thing o.o
Im without words. The beautiful jamaican girls in the jungle spa, the weed, the people, the pure happiness. Im sure there are bad parts of Jamaica but Im in love with it.
Thx franco.
U was not only a strain hunter u was a fighter for freedom! We will never forget u m8 . Franco 4ever
This video is one classic big up💛💜
R.I.P. Franco❤
Judging by the number of views, all we want is to just smoke weed and have fun. Please LEGALIZE.
screw legalization the whole systems need to go
+SignatureBeatz no please,the president is submision!
Fascinating series! Great work!
am still watching right now. september1 2019.
I just love the talking and story.
I
One love, Franco.
Rest in peace, brother in spirit.
Thank you greatly for this video. A real eye opener
My family from Black River to Orange Hill, I love them all. They are wonderfully amazing people. Anytime someone wants to come and visit just drop me a line at "A Promise Kept Guesthouse" in Brighton, Westmoreland. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy Jamaica as it was meant to be, natural and stress free. One Love, Shanaga :)
This reminds me of this Jamaican guy I meant in jail once. Long, natty dreads, his hands were like stone. He told me if I go to Jamaica to ask for the Orange Hill Indica. He said "tell them you want to cough, accept noting less!". Was a cool and interesting dude.
Saturday nature programming~~enjoy the view
Some of the best I have smoked 😆
Franco was such a lovely fella a genuine down to earth person , rip man , im appreciate the work you guys have accomplished and the legacy you left franco
I watch this for the soundtrack regularly!
one day i will visit this beautiful island..
The Caribbean could legalize weed harvest and sell it to make billions. Sunlight is an advantage.
Yea, but politicians hate weed for some reason I guess :/ or maybe the people...
People would probably pay more for it, too! This would bring more money and opportunities to the Caribbean!
Yeah, it would be like Cuban cigars. People would pay just for the name.
"Money is the root of all evil"
montanatorice1985 truth!
Ten grams a day what !,,,you are disrespecting a Jamaican smoker?
Franco mis respetos!. Gracias a ti hoy hace 7 años cultivando la sagrada ganjah JAH RASTAFARAI!!!!.
this should be legal in every country !
Legal Ohio Cannabis 2015
+jaybond vagabond In Croatia you can get up to 10 years in prison if police finds you a joint..
Yah man y not everyone will love it
+Zaheer Khan not everyone has to smoke it
+SlavenskiNacionalist 14 Legalize and blaze it.
If marijuana isn't legalized, it should be at the very least decriminalized!
They only way people get there life ruined by weed is when they are arrested by police!
*Take a look at the video on my channel!*
Personal use should be legalized worldwide!
cool, i actually liked your video man, goodjob mate
I totally agree that the only way people are hurt by weed is when they are arested and thrown into the prison industrial complex......I am on of those people.....I will be going to prison soon on delivery charges.....i was sharing something i loved with people and was snitched on......now i have had to spend my life savings and borrowed around $20,000 to try to get a reduced prison sentence........before i was in any trouble i was donating time and money to those who needed it more than my self.....helping several cancer patients....and working on several environmental projects to better the world.......now i am a rotting person in am empty shell.....purpose of life has been striped from me.....Go justice system and police your doing a great job protecting society. keep writing speeding tickets and not responding to burglaries and shots fired....
very true! ^^v
Neil Brisbin
its a natural plant from earth, their should be no way in the world that you can make a plant that grows from earth illegal
The guy smoking from 27:35 , what an amazing bong and damn.. The amount of smoke there was, was enough for people to confuse with fire. 🤣🤣
Its called chalice
Thats what the jamaicans use
Wow this was excellent guys! Truly excellent!
REEEE-SPECT........GREAT VIDEO.
fantastic guys, thank you !
Those purple hues are called anthocyanin’ s for anyone wondering. And you only get purp/pink/red stigmas outdoors different variables different expressions of the plant. For example a super sour skunk grown at a low altitude in high temps will grow differently compared to one grown at a higher altitude that’s further north, therefore you can end up with different varieties of the same species.

Yeeesss!
+Noyselee Yo ..

I dont smoke weed but im fascinated about the plants and health properties truly gods gods gift so much weed need to learn about it
Live the life you choose. Choose the life you live. It's all up to you. If you want it and don't have it, make it so. Blessings and respect.
I look forward to seeing your Nor Cal episode.
Watching this makes me feel like I'm vacation lol. They are living in another world
Ciao Franco, sei sempre stato il migliore in questa terra di coglioni riguardo all'uso e alla considerazione di questa pianta meravigliosa. Requiescat In Pacem
respect from tunisia
hope visiting jamaica soon
Respect to Jamaica and the people thank you.
Slow but sure 💞😘😍 go to JAMAICA 🇮🇩🇧 I LOVE IT JAMAICA 😘 IM FROM INDONESIA
Bacot
my brother, what you do is very good. I hope you understand my English. Here we love you in Guatemala. Keep it up and don't stop. because daddy and mommy want to know more about the culture. Mommy is from Jamaica ... that is respected ... we love you. and don't stop teaching the customs of the island. as well as Bob Marley, the prophet of Jamaica. Be original and do not get stained with perversity ... we love you keep it up my brother.
I so wanna go to Jamaica😢
I'll take you there
This was great, the only thing I think was missing was the recipe for that medicine liquor. :D
I apologize on behalf of the film makers for the lack of Patios translation. The recipe is simple- Jamaican white rum, pimento seeds, and your fav strain. Let it ferment for about a year or so.
sexualdookie
trackerbignose do you split the beans?
If you're referring to the pimento seeds then no. Those seed are very potent, no splitting required.
sexualdookie Thanks I will give it a go one of these days. :)
They have a lot of weed there. When I buy weed at home in UK I cant waste anything because its too expensive. These guys smoke an ounce a day, but when they load the pipe they burn whole clouds straight into the air. When I smoke, the only smoke is coming OUT of my lungs
beautiful video. Thanks. :D
this is awesome! I love it!
My man with the fitted at 17:04
is smoking heavy and drinking the tea!! HE MADE IT TO THE MOOOOOON
Jason Osborne drink tea smoke and took shots of it too .they higher than high
Sometimes I want to drop all the shit that I got going on in my life and go to Jamaica or anywhere nice where I can grow and be happy without any wars, politics and other bullshit. Just live life with mother nature and people who think the same...
take some seeds and got head for the hills of california
HowToMakeBeats
I would love too, pussy attitude sounds great haha
You know nothing about Jamaica lol it's illegal over there too
Kamie Regis Im just saying... I dont want the control of what the have these days.
Love how the plants are super tall. They are this way because they are competing with the plants around them for the sun light. Great tip if u want tall plants
You are wrong bro, it's sativa dominant strains and the plants don't veg long
Great video❤
so awesome... those expeditions must be the most fun thing in the world... smoking weed WHILE getting shit done... this is how its supposed to be...
*****
they dont always smoke sativa... my theory is, that they keep themselves motivated by acknowledging the fact that they can smoke a different strain not even an hour away completely for free... kinda like the donkey with the carrot on a fishing pole
+Biotic_Commando I LOVE sativa for getting SHIT done...Indica for pain n sleep
Man this is heaven
This Expedition and the Swaziland Expedition was fire too
every one that hasn't experience the free living in nature and wants to do it.my advice is to do it you wont regret it. i myself had the urge to do it sence i grew up with my grandfather and he though me alot of thinks that really are morw inportant in life. i whent to mexican sierra for two months and stayed in the mountains,showered in beautiful natural waterfalls ate fruit from the vegetation, hunted for my meat/ fishing.the people that i stayed with also had many little gardens of weed and are the happiest of people.very respectful if respect showed.had the time of my life wont forget those memories.they showed me how to grow/maintain and harvest marijuana when i didnt know.thank you for the video i recived many happy flashbacks.lovenpeace
27yrs ago when i was 17 my father who was a preacher took us to Jamaica on a missionary tour as he wanted to convert the Rastafarians... I'm very happy to say it backfired on him and was a very pivotal moment in my life. I will say i totally agree with these guys, avoid the tourist traps and resorts I found the locals extremely hospitable and friendly so long as you are not a dick and respect them. Had a Rasta Simon Brown teach me to make my first pair of leather sandals for which he required me to help him cooking on an open fire :) all in all it was the best 3months of my teenage life..... One Love
I about passed out when they made it to the dry-house. God Damn
Very nice...and an interesting contrast to my experience as told in the memoir "My Most-Wanted Marijuana Mom" when my mother was one of the biggest marijuana smugglers in the world (also out of Jamrock!!).
never gets old :)! one love!
18:50 probably one of the best internet moments ever
are the tires organic? I am sure they share some great chemicals w plants.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The tires are made of petrochemicals. They are toxic waste.
FazyCruck have u ever tried Indian stuff ......if no then Ur welcome to my land of green grass heartily
+satish mohanty I havent done an indian ceremony in YEARS. The sweat lodges were brutal! I guess I am not clear with what you mean by Indian stuff. I walk on lands long lost by the indians everyday. My favorite thing to do while I walk my dogs, is to imagine how they lived. I have found arrowheads...matates, manas and a at least two burials. I live where Geronimo roamed.
What a great idea for a show! I would add a cook to the cast for when the munchies kick in...
Watching this awesome video made me high gor a while, yah man.
Хорошее путешествие... ;-) Особенно купание на реке, так расслабляет... :-)
I love Jamaican from Ethiopia I wish one day visit there
Me too bro shashamene family
Man.. I really hope there will be new strainhunter series in the future.. :(
Muy bueno parceros los felicitó siempre haciendo el mejor trabajo
Respect !!!
God bless Jamaica
2 weeks ago i had over production mucus in the throat..i didnt take any pill . so i smoked little bit of weed and i was relieved..last night i was sniffing and had chest compression .i smoked little bit weed and in the next morning i felt good..
Good work ❤️
