Letter: Skunk and soap
Sebastian Saville, Executive director, Release The Guardian
Tuesday 20 Mar 2007 In the 60s and 70s cannabis in the UK was readily available from all over the world: hashish from Nepal, Afghanistan, Morocco and Lebanon; grass from Thailand, Hawaii, Panama and South Africa (Gangs and ghosts push UK's homegrown cannabis harvest to a record high, March 13). These were largely naturally occurring plants yielding cannabis of all strengths (plenty as strong as anything one can find today). The huge increase in demand, with the huge profit margins created by the irrational legal status, has led to a situation in the UK where we really only have two products: heavily reconstituted hashish from Morocco, known as soap, and indoor-grown skunk. The hashish is regularly mixed with all sorts of bulk-increasing agents and the skunk is often overbred and fed on a plethora of fertilisers and other chemicals. This is why, like alcohol during prohibition, the cannabis of today is largely unpredictable, nasty stuff.
