Meet two of my cannabis heroes, Don E. Wirthshafter and Mike Bifari. Both are very strong personalities that are helping the Nasa Indians in Colombia. Google them to see what I mean. I love that cannabis is at the base of Don and Mike’s work!

Maribel, Marino and Victor are Nasa Indians that are growing a new commercial crop, cannabis. They are growing more cannabis and fewer coca plants which are used to make cocaine. Cannabis is replacing coca as a cash crop.

Colombian President, Juan Manuel Santos, was awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 2016 for stopping 50 years of bloody war between guerillas, including FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) and paramilitary death squads that claimed more than 220,000 lives and displaced more than 6 million people.

This video was shot in the Cauca Valley Colombia, located in the “Cordillera Occidental de los Andes.” The gardens I visited are located from 1,700-2,100 meters (5,500-6,900 feet) in elevation.

This is the first in a series of video reports on cannabis growing in Colombia.
