Cannabis, or wisdom tooth implant

Hashish is Bohemian drug, glue is drug of children from unilluminated streets

Toxic

Some spiritual searcher from Kazakhstan have smoked weed on Puna town cemetery in midnight, and realized the Meaning of Existence. Obviously in the morning he forgot it again. Then he complained to the friends about low quality of Indian marihuana from very India. If he could have the domestic product, the Meaning of Existence would surely keep with him. Whatever onу could say, but Kazakh made marihuana is certainly competitive.

Among three basic kinds of hemp (sowing, Indian and weed) only Indian one represents genuine narcotic interest. Of course, if desired one also can extract psychoactive substance of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from sowing hemp, which is used to industrial production of fibres, cellulose and foodstuff (hemp oil, aromatic hemp extract). But compared to its content with Indian hemp is the same things like irrigating your garden from a well, when you have a river nearby.

In Kazakhstani part of Chu valley there are around 135, 000 hectares of wild-growing hemp. How many among it is Indian is hard to estimate, but the main thing is that it is growing in Miracle valley. Kyrgyzstan share in this natural area is around 30, 000 hectares, and thus it is on surface that’s got the main raw supply. In administrative-territorial terms the wilds of narcotic containing hemp are spread in seven districts of Zhambyl region of Republic of Kazakhstan, each of those in terms of space is relatively close to a half of Lebanon.

A typical feature: when you speaking to local authorities’ representatives as a journalist, they are unanimously stating that hemp on territories under their jurisdiction is not snoozing, as opposite to what is growing on their neighbors’ territory. And when you dealing with local commons (and its main consumers in the same time) then they are usually praising particularly local products.

Stance to cannabis in Kazakhstan is extremely ambiguous. From one side, it is a pure narcotic; from the other, anasha, hashish and other “grass” are not irreparably harming physical health and social connectivity, as heroin do: and if it leads to such result, then not only for one or two years. Generally, according to researchers from British magazine Lancet, marijuana is holding 11th place among deleterious narcotic substances (alcohol and tobacco are on 5th and 9th place respectively). That’s why from one side one witnessing annual and international police operations such as Channel, and from other side – satellite pictures, which are forcing to doubts about wilderness of Chu hemp. It can be seen even from space that local people are implementing irrigational tasks to establish agricultural supply to wild cannabis.

Drug-dealing in Kazakhstan is double layered. On top, heroin, layer there are broken lives, miseries and tragedies, huge finance, drug kings, corrupted policemen and authorities. Lower, marijuana, level is sort of carnival. There are wisdom, communication, laughing, cosmic vibrations reactions and modified reality in there. Obviously, you can’t avoid personal dramas, but destinies here are braking clearly not in industrial scales, as on heroin layer or neighboring structure of massive alcoholization of people. If to estimate this from financial measures, then heroin layer is big players, and marijuana is small and medium business.

However, even narcotic small and medium business is dry behind the ears and steadily looking forward in the future. Taking at least the story with Kazakhstani-German joint venture, which must have been processing Indian hemp into various fibers, isolating materials and paper, also replacing drug-containing cannabis on industrial one, i.e. non-intoxicating. In 2002 on this event dedicated press-conferences they were speaking about thousands of new working places in Southern regions of Kazakhstan straightly and about tenth thousands by multiplication effect. And somebody even believed that.

What’s the matter? German officers’ uniforms were made from hempen fibers of very good quality during second world war (Hitler was low on resources including cotton and wool, using what was at hand). Until the moment, when United Convention of UN by year of 1961 on banning cannabis there were tenth of factories working on this profile. During 90’s German government had approved reestablishment of hemping industry, and to 00’s it’ been sowed for 4 thousand hectares, with over 30 processing plants. That’s why theoretically it could have been believed that from 2005 a similar process can be started in Kazakhstan too; but only theoretically. The year 2010 outside is proving it quite transparent.

From point of reason it would be obviously better, if familymen in Chu valley would have work on hemp paper plants, and not hanging around unemployed on roads, and not rolling a joint (weed in mouthpiece cigarettes instead of token out tobacco). But from two trends the stronger won, i.e. narcotic. They say that this route leads to nowhere, but it is hard to lose it. The more that even in fed years the state money to avoid this route was reliably shared among corrupted officials; in crisis times there are no finance for it. And if it w

While the government and development institutes are trying to play off cement factories for examples oа implementation of advanced technologies and complicated industries, it is already working in cannabis sector. At that without any support from state and budget finance. If to remove cannabiologic enthusiasts, then it is just a response reaction on purchasing power. Thus, hydroponics.

Hydroponics (hydra, ponika, parsley, turkey etc.) is slang name for marijuana with high content of Tetrahydrocannabiol and psychoactive contents, grown without soil in nutrient liquid, typically under intensive artificial lightening. As a matter of fact, when in 90’s the government paid attention to hydroponics, then it was sorted out to supply tomatoes, cucumbers and greens to regions with poor soils – Karaganda, Mangistau. But somehow vegetable hydroponics never made it, although no good soils happened in those bad regions. But hydra and ponika are growing up very intensively, even despite the presence of huge natural area in terms of cannabis bushes of Chu valley and generally stabile supplies of it.

There are also handymen who are achieving narcotic qualities higher than natural even without hydroponics, i.e. growing it in soil, but with artificial lightening too. One of my colleagues assured me that the second option is even more honest, since hydroponics is too much affected. He also named a lot of very loud names, from moviemakers to journalists, who are smoking a number of joints every day for the matter of it. However it’s an open secret. Besides, Moscow bohemia knows what Kazakhstani weed is and are love to be given some on any occasion.

Beer consumption per person in Kazakhstan is two times lower than in neighboring Russia. If to compare with Germany and Czech, then the difference will be ten times more. By consumption of vodka Kazakh people are far from leaders. Instead, they are selling perfect weed by glasses, whereas in Omsk, over-the-border Russian city – by matchboxes. At that any consumer is afraid to by Chechen sorts instead of Ganja blend. Cannabis trading and quality culture is on higher level; it is in the same league as Kyrgyzstan – when they selling Issyk-Kol weed, they are responsible for that. In times of Russian Empire Omsk was administrative center of Steppe country, thus informal capital of Kazakhstan, but situation with glasses and matchboxes by prices of glasses is showing that this unity connection is broken. There was even a case there, when group of intermediates from Kazakhstan ( let’s call them this way), being in a visit to their relatives, was being on mutiny and materialized a true militiaman from fear, who checked everybody’s passports and then disappeared; because all of this are illusions.

It’s like surfing. Sliding between consciousness and unconsciousness on cheerful and capricious snake Cannabis. In Netherlands it is discriminalized. In Italy it is allowed to carry no more than 40 joints with you. In germany since 1995 there is Cannabusiness exhibition. But in Kazakhstan Cannabusines can bee seen only on MIA special stands. Maybe it should be staying like this. Or maybe it is worth legalizing? Because it is absolutely impossible to convince anybody in this question by any means, let it is stay for personal and group opinion. When a pupil is ready, a teacher sees him.
