seaofgreen

On the ferry to Vancouver island Flash smoked his last joint of lousy “broken bud” it tasted a little green .He knew where he was going he would not be in short supply . In 1961 or 62 before Flash was even born many of those dodging the draft ,most of them farmers took refuge on Vancouver island .One in particular had a education in botany and the money to travel and brought back from Africa, Europe and far reaches of the globe such strains as are now known as BC strains Burmese ,Swazi . These guerrilla farmers formed a family farm community shared information and experience and raised their children in the art of growing . Where as before Mexican type weed would come packed in blocks most of the THC and healing cannabinoids destroyed in how it was handled and “cured “,herb that was grown inexpertly .These farmers and scientists and experience experts who couldn’t support their families by legally working in Canada became so talented at the craft that they attracted the attention of hightimes and in 1997 published a story on BC ‘s Sea of Green. A reporter named Chris flew in and interviewed the young marc emery and breeder Steve and the captain ,mr t Mr d and others . The green carpet was layed out for them and they were toured three houses on vancouver island where the sea of green methods were being applied it was agreed that the story was not to be published for two years when it was published nothing happened then emery was busted and the three houses that HighTimes toured was busted With the united states paying off Canadian Mounties to pay 1000's of dollars to inform on B.C. growers as was exposed on the Fifth Estate on CBC Flash was honoured to be trusted by one of the original clan whom he had met on the Internet to witness the sea of green medi med system , A hydroponic set up that would fit in any small closet’ and can be altered for wheel chair users ,using two tiers of tubing in a pyramid structure .growing 48 small plants yielding about 7 grams each that can be rotated to provide a patient with 4 to 7 grams a day and is “as easy to run as making koolaid “or could be run potentially on microsoft windows . It must have been with some trepidation he was invited to meet his wife ,whom he had been together with ever since teen years of whom he said it was hard to find a wife who would stick with a guy who is always around the house and can never go on vacation .She had had cancer and they had nearly lost her cannabis brought her back and she needed it for her medicine this was one way he could provide for her without going bankrupt ,and his sturdy sons who do not get into trouble excel in sports love their parents and are extremely loyal , and his helpers needy people who he’s helping to get by with dignity. They had even helped runaways get home and out of prostitution and hard drug users get off the shit .They had witness their friends make miraculous recoveries from cancer and AIDS . It was truly a family run cottage industry paying taxes into the economy of the island with everyone from the donut shop owner to the hamburger vendor and gas station attendant and neighbourhood hockey team benefiting .Amazingly or not landlords who are tired of sneaky tenants filling their basements with dirt have even asked Mr. D if he would install his clean system in their houses pay the rent and maintain the property as opposed to having to evict and renovate after a bunch of yahoos. Flash knew next nothing about how to grow cannabis himself not even enough to ask intelligent questions but he knew his medicine and when toured the likes of KD rhino Burmese sunshine he knew this was the best he’d ever seen better than the quality of what’s available at the BC compassion club ( www.thecompassionclub.org ) .Mr D held distain for the “biker strains “ northern lights and big bud , it hurt him when they crossed the true BC strains with them to bulk them up .Yield wasn’t everything to him ,smaller buds were sometimes better depending on the strains. More than anything else it had to be good medicine it had to work for his wife and all the other patients he helped including those members of Hempology 101 ( www.hempology101) who had access to it .
