Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong? — Willie Nelson Marijuana, cannabis, hemp, weed, ganja, pakalolo, boo … it goes by many names, and has a long association with mankind. It is one of the oldest domesticated crops, so much so that there are no true wild strains, all feral plants have been found to be escapees from somebody’s garden, sometime, somewhere. Author Joseph Pietri takes us back to the burgeoning of the hippie counterculture, amid the energy, excitement and adventure of the times. Times when you could travel freely in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, India and other countries, where you could freely buy, smoke and consume marijuana … as had been done for millennia. The King of Nepal chronicles the rise, heyday and demise of the Hippie Hashish Trail. An adventure that always lead to Nepal, where the marijuana trade was regulated by the government, giving stability and income for the locals and an exciting locale for the Westerners that met, partied, and endeavoured to bring the hashish to the their friends at home — a good ol‘ boy (and girl) network soon developed. Many of these travelers embraced the local culture and a vibrant scene developed in Nepal, Goa, and other places. Then along came, Dick Nixon’s War on Drugs where Asian governments were paid millions to make marijuana illegal. Soon the hippies were replaced by heroin- selling gangsters. Imagine that! Prohibitions don’t work. Never have. Never will. The current strictures are not about our health, our children or our community, but in keeping in place a black-market that creates huge profits giving “hidden” forces undue influence in our lives. The unconstitutional Drug War needs to end. Onwards to the utmost of futures, Peace, Kris Millegan Publisher TrineDay 4/20/10 Dedication In memory of the Queen of Nepal, my beloved friend and wife Victoria Anne Wells. 1949-2006.
