Join us as we venture into the remote northern region of Saint Vincent, where traditional cultivators thrive on the slopes of La Soufrière, the island’s active volcano. This exploration delves into the profound impact of recent legislative changes on the cultural and agricultural landscape of the area. For generations, cultivation has been intertwined with the identity and livelihoods of local communities.
As laws evolve and modernization accelerates, traditional practices and native genetics face both new opportunities and significant threats. Our mission is to uncover and preserve the remnants of original Caribbean landrace genetics, rare native varieties that have influenced globally recognized strains yet are becoming increasingly scarce. Guided by local farmers and Rastafarian cultivators, we document ancestral growing techniques and gain insight into the knowledge passed down through generations.
Set against breathtaking landscapes overlooking the Caribbean Sea, this narrative reveals extraordinary cultivation sites and tells a story of resilience, heritage, and the urgent need to protect a unique genetic and cultural legacy before it disappears. Explore how tradition, biodiversity, and legislative change are shaping the future of cannabis in Saint Vincent.
