Dedication by S.T. Oner

I dont care if I fall as long as someone else picks up my gun and keeps on shooting.

Ernesto Che Guevara

As always, I dedicate this book to the fine people at NORML and everyone who has fought against the unjust war on this incredible plant. Now more than ever, the drug law revolution is in sight, and the above quote from one of the 20th centurys most inspirational figures should serve as encouragement for us all. Though some may have fallen the wonderful and very much missed Jack Herer coming immediately to mind the rest of us must battle on. Education is our weapon and eventually, our war will be won.

I almost feel like the most insignificant part of this wonderful project; the smallest of cogs in a vast and expansive machine thats been working for hundreds of years. My greatest thanks go to Mother Nature herself, for giving rise to this plant that has changed innumerable peoples lives for the better.

My most heartfelt thanks also go to the fantastic breeders and seed companies whose work appears between these pages. This book features breeders from the USA, Canada, Holland, Britain, Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, Russia, Australia, Ukraine, New Zealand, and Denmark, and quite a few other countries which cannot be listed due to certain draconic laws against this most holy of plants.

There are some contributors who wish to remain anonymous, but who deserve recognition and respect nonetheless, as does everyone on the online forums, especially the people at Breedbay.co.uk, thcfarmer.com and icmag.com

Finally I must thank the growers, breeders and writers who inspired me to learn more about this incredible plant; Ed Rosenthal, Jason King, Danny Danko, Mel Thomas, Mel Frank, Greg Green, and Jorge Cervantes are some big ones, and of course the aforementioned Jack Herer, may he rest in peace. These guys are true trailblazers and their tireless efforts set me on my first steps on this wonderful journey. I feel that Cannabis Indica Vol. 1 is a true representation of the variety of cannabis genetics in existence today, and were it not for the hard work and effort of everyone featured in it, it would not exist at all. For this, I say thank you.

Preface

A Trip With Indica

Just by picking up this book, you are playing a small but important role in the global cannabis community.

Whether youre a grower, a breeder, a daily smoker, an occasional toker, a medical user, an activist, a connoisseur, a horticulturalist, a coffeeshop owner or the kingpin of a growing empire, you are reading this book for one reason and one reason only: you love cannabis!

I wrote it for the same reason.

This book is much more than a few pages of information about the strains that you smoke on a daily basis. This book is the result of months of tireless research, tracking down growers, writing emails, calling nonexistent phone numbers, hunting down breeders from places Id never even heard of, and digging through years of folklore and rumor to get to the truth about strains we know and love as well as newcomers to the scene. Its the result of years, and sometimes decades, of passion and hard work on the part of the breeders, who dedicate their lives to not only growing this most sought-after of plants (in many cases risking unwarranted jail time and massive federal charges) but also to taking the best of the cannabis plant and making it even better. This book may not have a central narrative but the breeders are the true heroes of the story; they are the nuclear physicists of the movement, pushing their own limits and those of their plants, without whom wed still be stuck in the dark ages of cannabis cultivation.

These heroes arent just the celebrated faces we know, gracing the covers of pot magazines and the pages of growing forums the world over; many breeders featured here are unsung heroes of the terrible and costly war on drugs. They might not have thousands of dollars to spend on industrial grow rooms or a staff of 20 to produce a new and exciting variety, but they do have more tenacity and drive than many of us could ever hope for. These breeders take their most precious plants, the ones theyve lovingly grown right from seed, and walk them through generations of backcrossing and crossbreeding, choosing the best phenotypes, enhancing the best traits of each and stabilizing them until they have a brand spanking new and original strain to call their own. And if this wasnt enough, they then seed the thing and offer it up to the rest of us. We can never be grateful enough.

In this book, I have tried to include a good representation of every corner of the cannabis community: from the established, world-renowned growers that youve all heard of, such as the formidable Sensi and Green House Seeds; through the pioneers you might not have heard of but whose strains you have definitely smoked, like DJ Short and The Joint Doctor; all the way to the absolute unknowns, who grow just for the sake of growing, because they love what they do, such as Russias Original Seeds and Sativa Tim from the USA. This book contains indica-dominant strains from every corner of the world to provide a truly global view of the cannabis community as it stands today.

Thats not to say, however, that the big hitters in the seed game dont deserve our respect. Dutch Passion, Sagarmatha Seeds and Soma Seeds are all represented here and, indeed, their work in the field of cannabis cultivation has paved the way for many smaller companies and individual breeders as well as influencing and improving global opinion of cannabis as medicine. Some of the best and most stable genetics available come from the futuristic labs of such companies, and these varieties more often than not form the building blocks from which new strains are created.

As you flip through these pages, youll notice that some strain names come up time and time again. These are the superstars of the breeding world, the strains that changed the way we grow weed and the way we appreciate it too. The prevalence of the Blue family genetics within this book is a testament to the quality of Canadian breeder DJ Shorts Blueberry, a strain that has been around since the 70s. Blueberry has become a legend unto itself, known for its high yields and fruity taste, but most of all for its lavender-colored buds that are so popular on the street that they fetch a higher price than most other varieties. Almost every seed bank now has its own Blue offspring strain, many of which are featured in the following pages, and there are now generations upon generations of plants that can be traced back in one way or another to Grandma Blueberry.

Kush is a name that you will definitely have heard, and I dont know a smoker who doesnt get a gleam of excitement in their eyes when you tell them that youve got a stash from this family, whether it be Garberville Purple Kush, Kamoto Kush, Olivia Kush or any of the myriad of strains that dont even list that heritage in their names but still exhibit the incredibly potent and euphoric high that the Afghani/Pakistani variety is so loved for. Kush is revered as a classic strain and deservedly so.
