I have been visiting India for last 7 years. This year I came to Nepal for the first time. The country is very beautiful and nice friendly people. I was in western Nepal for last the six months, where no other tourist go. I came across many good Charas, something that I have never tried. Very high flying and very good. Some thing similar to Manali first cream but even better. The main thing that grows here is Cannabis and nettle. People are extremely poor and they survive on barley and maize. Most of the charas grown here gets exported to Kathmandu and goes directly to European countries. The actual people who rub it, do not get any thing out of it. The people who transport also do not get any thing out of it. At the end, the dude who exports gets all the cash.
I made few friends with nice young people here on the mountains. I took a huge piece of land on a lease with the villagers and I showed them how to grow the Cannabis properly. They are already happy that they have made more money just by lending the land to me. Now they are also working with me. I have not paid any salary yet and I have promised them that I will start paying them from November and they are quiet happy with it.
I did not use any imported seeds. I used the local seeds. Only thing here that the plants grows wildly, the plants are not taken care. They do not cut it regularly. So the plant it self becomes massive and the buds do not grow properly. Also, naturally it starts growing around of April and by mid May, Monsoon starts, so lots of rain and the sun. This is very good for the plants but they grow very fast and Buds do not get enough time to develop.
Now I am planting over 30k plants with 2.5 meters apart from each other using locally produced organic fertilizers. So I have enough time until Monsoon season. The plants should be ready by early October.
So we will have the best of the best Charas, hand rubbed from the buds and not from the leaves at all .
During October, I will need one more person who could work with me. Since I will be in the village growing and taking care of the plants. I need some one who could take the charas to bigger city like Delhi or Kathmandu to post it to our SR friends and give them the best of the best.
I will not reply for request to meet me in person. You willl have to come to Doti district in Nepal. If u come there, I will know and we could have a chat. I am not afraid of any authorities there and there is none, first police station is 7 hours walk and i also know none of the cops would want to trek for few days. Farmers are very supportive and they see the light in their lives. Something good happening. So the whole community has given me love and protection.
I will up date on the plants and how things are going in the mountains. Stay tuned. the best Charas in the world is coming soon on your door way.

Sounds like an amazing and beautiful journey! Especially now that you have set up such a large number of plants - hopefully you will be offering a fair trade with the farmers also and making sure they are paid better than they normally would. :)
Hope that you find someone that will be able to sell this Charas on The Road as I for one would love to try some, hope that the harvest turns out great with higher than anticipated quality and quantity. :)
Good luck mate, subbed to this thread so make sure to keep us updated!
