GOING BEYOND: Migration and Bio roots for a Cannabis Future

Realising the politicisation of the oldest problem of humans, namely Migration, fundamentally also termed as freedom of movement worldwide and going 'Bio' for Cannabis a la 'back to the future' in a way .. like cultures at Altai ..

Citing statistics of vacant jobs in every country, where some countries do not have the population to fill these, can be an understanding of migration if this was not already a fundamentally accepted worldwide affair for any citizen of this world. But giving less value to names of who said what was a policy adopted, and thus we quickly moved away from this topic of another politician putting his foot in the mouth by creating turbulences between people based on divisive remarks - based on his own opinion but publicly stated. The provocation and lack of respect to work culture apart, the hypocracy of come here, and now simply don't be here anymore, and the sheer impracticality of a representative of people was brushed upon at the outset of the Newcomer News program. Well, someone has to say something for all the newcomers, given that this show was also created on a notion of integration and has indeed been a good player in this field. So not to discount our sweet reality, records had to be set right, again, that anyone can go and settle and live and work anywhere in this planet. Understand this as a human legality as well, honoured by systems that can guide political misbehaviour. 

The more embarrasing part of having to deal with a guest specially called on this show in the background of this insensitive comment on migration by a politician however was made easy by our guest. It was as if he had been on a radio show for years before, although this was his first time on a live radio show. Like many, who may be unsure first, his pleasure after the experience was clearly mentioned and lived, literally everytime we meet. He now has that glint in the eye. There is indeed no biz like show biz. But this guy is also an artist among the citizenry of Tübingen, feeding the correct senses for a universally appreciative outcome for everyone. To begin with, the idea of relaxing, to be able to make the best decisions is where this all sets off. With 'stress' about to be called an official sickness if it isn't already been called so, the recreational value inputs are increasingly important. Tobacco, was finally admitted by governments of many countries of the world, that it was a mistake to promote. To continue in this stride of things, the contents of the conversation in this show have been said and written here again to confirm the non promotion of any 'smoking' activity by any individual. The decriminalisation of cannabis, however remains a space in history where years later, many will realise the discrimination that a person using cannabis had to go through, given the criminalised status in our society. In a fast moving world, where stress is just another thing, although it is the most deadliest killer around but yet seen so casually, it is quite possible that many things get missed in the melee. 

Confirming the conversation to be a non promotion of smoking, the sheer reality for generation next may be totally different where there is no more smoking but just vaping. Having figured out that combustion or the burning is the unhealthy bit, few decades ahead our kids may even never smoke traditionally like we do today. Going however to the DIY (Do-it-yourself) concept of growing plants, Okan, our guest said it brilliantly that it is always nice to see something grow. The pleasure of seeing this apart from human offsprings, are animals and plants. Growing vegetables for consumption or cannabis, the pleasure of seeing this plant grow can be shared by everyone, without any stereotypes attached.

Helping this DIY culture, as recently clarified in the laws that be, for cannabis, Okan runs a shop called Altai Hemp in Tübingen selling specialised CBD. Clarifying the legal aspects, he helps us who are not in the know, to understand why the legal acceptance. Obviously, it was very very clearly thought, debated, discussed since decades till a group of people who consumed cannabis were finally freed from the law where the truth simply prevailed. Celebrating this, and marking this transformation is this event, the first of its kind in Tübingen, a cannabis gathering, called CAN DO 0.1 at the Franzwerk this November 1.

Going more into history, he provides us the information of the cultures in the Altai mountains who used the cannabis plant for all lifestyle purposed, including health, clothing, etc. The smoking is almost only mentioned for a reference maybe in hope that more people read about cultures due to identification with this popular activity. But the use of this plant has here been refered to from more that 3500 years. So it must be something real. 

So according to AI, "Archaeological findings suggest that the Altai Mountains are considered a significant region for the ancient use of hemp, with evidence of hemp use found in the region dating back to the 5th-2nd centuries BCE during the Pazyryk culture. The use of hemp in the region is also linked to the ancient Scythians and other nomadic cultures." That's how we bring ... The Nomad Spirit ! With ALTAI HEMP to Tübingen and the world at large, mentions Okan.

BIO finally became the most important conclusion for the future of cannabis after legalisation, citing a 'back-to-the-future' angle to things. Back to the roots is always good, being the start and ending point, it is very clear that everyone at supermarkets pay more for BIO products; predominantly for good reason of things being kept in a natural domain as much as possible. Then natural weed, grown from natural weed plants, which also classifies as BIO, is what the future looks forward to. Catapulting fair trade between countries like India and Africa where land raised strains are culturally cultivated, 'these are almost impossible in Europe' confirms Okan, to simply make more sense for the production of the BIO variety for cannabis, in Germany.  

So while Germany has no BIO variety but the laws to create a space for this already, the future is already spelt out clearly. Knowledge must be clarified about all what we have aoround us being genetically modified strains, giving only THC sometimes. Please do note, this is not natural by far. What is smoked in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and more countries where hemp cultures and civilisations have existed since thousands of years, is a natural weed or cannabis plant and not genetically modified. Hence, we do have issues with what is available today and how this effects people with hormonal issues for instance. Natural weed has no such side effects and collaborative effects with hormones, nor psychiatry simply because, true to a concept like Ayurveda, this is simply natural. 

Working from the point of view of cultures, our gentlemanly guest Okan, is polite enough to explain the details to whomsoever is interested in the understanding of life where it is always nice to see something grow. Definitely someone with a green thumb, there is lots more to know and learn. Equipped with gadgets to find details about cannabis strains and more, Altai Hemp, located round the corner from Tübingen rathaus, the street this shop is in,is incidentally the only street on the 'bobatz' map for cannabis smoking in the old city of Tübingen. But like we understand from the symbolism on this show: old is gold !
