Apples, Sure. But THC is from Kazakhstan too?
Yet another story about Kazakhstan and marijuana in only a few weeks. This little teaser for a documentary to be shown today on Australian TV implies that THC first evolved in Kazakhstan. Off-hand it seems to me that would be a much bigger tourist draw than apples OR wolves….
Plus, the tourists you would attract would be up for eating pretty much anything!
So the question is, are any Australians planning on watching this? And can you post clips on YouTube? Or KazTube perhaps.

It looks like it was a BBC Horizons program a few years back. There is a bit more on it here – http://ukcia.org/wordpress/?p=53
BBC’s iplayer has a record of it, but it is too old to play. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00hhmd1
If you want to watch it, obviously having obtained the copyright holder’s permission 1st… http://bit.ly/9Qnpl6
So this is something that’s been out there for a while. Wonder why the Kazakh government hasn’t embraced this.
I should also mention that while writing my last two posts, I was thinking of you.
There was an old PDF a few years back that was a presentation for Kazakh big-wigs, about how Kazakhstan was ideal for the commercial production of medical marijuana. No idea if it was ever shown to anyone though. I think http://www.pollinator.nl/default_center.asp?link_id=24&sec_id=7 has the English and Russian versions.
