Memoirs of a Cannabis Breeder - Captain Jack (Documentary Interview)

- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2023
- Meet Captain Jack, a legendary breeder whose journey began in the rebellious 1960s. A life-changing encounter with a mythical Afghan hashish sparked his fascination with the plant, leading him to visit a small village out side of Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan.
After befriending the growers in Afghanistan, they graciously gifted him with their precious cannabis seeds. With these prized seeds in hand, Jack set forth on a mission to cultivate his own Gulzar Afghanica on the West Coast of the United States.
The aroma of Captain Jack's creations filled the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza, becoming synonymous with SNL and its legendary after-parties. Today, Jack's legacy as "The Smell of SNL" endures, inspiring the community and preserving a remarkable chapter in cultural history. Join us as we explore the captivating world of Captain Jack, his botanical wonders, and the profound impact he made on an entire generation.

Hes the kinda guy you could listen to him tell his stories for hours on end
Thank you Cpt. Jack. I grew out an afghani kush plant and it was by far the biggest plant I've ever grown - what an amazing plant cannabis is, the world could be so different..
Captin Jack single handily brought indica to America. Thanks Jack. Everytime I get couchlock I remember the Captin who made it happen
No you don’t.
Huh?😂😂 this dude was a baby when the 1st seeds came to the Westcoast via the hippies of the 60's.
That is the truth@@209Twinz209
LOL! I just woke up from a nap.
@@209Twinz209wrong
Man wish we were shown pictures from the 60/70's in Afghanistan and plants of that time...
Dudes got such a positive attitude, what a legend
Wow! What a legend. Thank you for helping make cannabis what it is today Captain!
A bit of a reach legend I don’t think so

What a legend.
Back in the 60's & 70's(UK /Ireland) a lot of us young adults took a sabbatical to a kibbutz in Afghanistan or somewhere before settling into full time employment.Everyone used to come back with pockets full of seeds.It's getting harder to track their descendants now..
Living in Manchester, England, dreaming of a greener future
I lived there for 5+ years, levenshulme, rusholme, chorlton, fallowfield, how is the life there now?
@@backinprezentrecords13 good here in Ladybarn! I've lived in Fallowfield, Withington, Rusholme and Manchester is my favourite city. Good prices for bud, good turnout on 420 at Platt fields

A true LEGEND 💚💜💚💜
Wow! legend!!!!!!!!!!!. Thank you for helping make cannabis what it is today Captain
Legend!
That was such an authentic dude...Really appreciate the perspective and attitude Captain Jack!!!
Awesome hearing about your adventures in the early days! Thanks for your pioneering life in service to the contemporary Cannabis culture. I’m a longtime grower in Oregon too - though not nearly 50 years!! 😂30+ years as a Cannabis scholar & photographer. So many stories...
Seeds are AmAzinG!Will travel. Carry a big field of plants in your pocket. From over there to over here.
Thank you,
Captain Smart Cookie
Thank you Captain Jack you did something very special and unique, the protection of a plant that is a cultural heritage. What would we do without you and people like you who believed in what they were doing and worked hard to make their ideals a reality you've done something unimaginable to some people especially during the time you did it. Absolute living legend
Would love to try some of his afghanica. Agree 100% that most stuff out there today no matter the taste or look give almost the same effect and there are few and far between that truly stand out.
Thank you so much for doing this back then and now. Im living in the Netherlands and can not grow my own medicine unless im dying of cancer.
I have ADHD and indicas are my medicine of choice so thank you so much for bringing us the kush brother.
My seeds come from the Netherlands.
Same dude. I tell people all the time I can only smoke indica. My adhd and saliva turn into a tornado of anxiety. But I got an indica sweet spot. Acts just like medicine.
What a cool time to be around during the greatest time in SNL.
Thanks for bringing the Indica Seeds!🎆
So many of these Og’s around the country and world. Grow the plant and spread its wisdom. Money is fake governments are corrupt, love is real ❤. Overgrow the planet 🌎
Great story thanks for sharing. 🤙🌳
Thankyou 🎉You are the Man 👍👊🙌🤟🏻❤️
That was an honor
What a humble guy. ❤
Most of the great ones are.
indeed!@@greggasiorowski1326
Happy man 👍🏾 u can see it on his face and hear it in his voice ❤️
Interesting listening to you mate. Keep up the good work 😁
Could listen to this man all day, mazar was the first proper indoor grow I did and is still one of my favourites, yes it’s not the original mazar from Afghanistan I think the Dutch crossed it with skunk but it’s still a very nice indica, has such a strong jiff lemon and pine smell
Legend
I worked at a small tofu facility back in the 90s, we'll, it's 2023 and some of your genetics are still played with and grown here in the middle of W.V. outside every year 💚
What a great interview! I'm an old stoner, 63 now, and I loved the original SNL. Always knew that was going on. My mom and I would die laughing at all their skits. Is Capt Jack still with us? I followed his IG and the last thing is from 21 i think....Hopefully still alive!
What's SNL Sir? Please can you explain what it means? I was born in 1988, so I think that term or whatever it is, was before my time.
Saturday Night Live?
@@CodyRayDees513 ok, yah I looked it up, nevermind.
loved it
Such a nice guy
What a life and a story to tell he's the og
Absolute legend and the creativity of snl
Whats SNL?
Jack, it sounds like you knew the Original Founder's of the Super Sativa Seed Club! Before the Sensi Seed guy! Much Love from Lashkar Gah!
I think he is referring to Nevil who started the seedbank of Holland mail order catalog and got in trouble in which sensi seedbank bailed him out to get thier hands on nevils genetics and the cannabis castle where Nevil became the master breeder before going to greenhouse seeds. Karel from SSSC was none for the second seedbank but closed after Nevil got in trouble. Both Karel & Nevil as well as positronics & flyiin Dutchman got most thier base stock from Sam the Skunkman aka Dave Watson💚
@@anthro_sensimilla8020 Shanti Baba! Maybe went over to Greenhouse! Heard it from the Fly on the Wall!
What a Great story Captain Jack, Thank You so much for sharing!!! I would Love to 1 day be able to grow the smell of SNL and of course Smoke It 😤😲🥰😂☮☯💚🔥🌿
After watching this I want a time machine to go back to 80s
such a nice person..💚💚💚
Best background ever. :)
bless u jack!
had your saturday night live strain back in the day I forgot what you called it grown on maui it was the best I had and I'm 65 Thankyou Captain Jack
My friend's hippie father grew Afghani circa 1980. There was always a cookie tin full of buds on top of the fridge. It was killer, but I prefer old-school sativas.
👏 There really is no cure for curiosity 💚☀️
Good all around kinda guy... God Bless.. I live in Vermont.. Afghani weed seems to grow good here because of the similar climate as Afghanistan has...
I am SO glad for all the amazing work you did to share this treasure with us! I hope Oregon helps the entire USA see that legalization is a good thing, and Congress finally decriminalizes weed, so that other countries can also decriminalize and we can all have a legitimate worldwide trade, and people in far away places can earn a living doing something positive.
MORE ! Subbed !
Jack personally: Friend brought seed from Afghanistan to Vermont in ‘75. Whole area smelled like skunks everywhere l. Gave Many seeds away. I grew for it original landrace; widest leaf’s I have ever seen. Some still doing it since then, keeping strain excellent.
Hit me up for history fellow hippie freak Jack! Still living history, Marc✌️❤️🐝☸️
Gotta love the o.g's. Afgani, Thi, Columbian gold, Panama red. As an old smoker absolutely loved the old skunk varieties. Haven't seen any of these strains in 25 years. Lambs bread anyone?Maui wowi, aculpoco gold. Miss these strains
SOME.OF.THEM.AROUND BUB.
Thai stick, I’ve even had some really good Mexican that wasn’t block pressed.
The strains now are pretty sweet though.
@@MrFancyFingers We all mention Thai Stick, Man o man. I was surprised to hear it is a sativa strain as it gave me couchlock decades ago.
Some of those are actually still around. Ace Seeds works with a lot of old school landrace genetics, especially tropical sativas. They haven't had any Central or South American lines for a few years, but they've definitely carried them in the past. All worked to increase how frequently quality phenos show up. Lambs bread seeds are still available if you look carefully. And there are at least 4 road kill skunk lines still making the rounds, full of onion and straight skunk piss funk.
You'll have to avoid all the seed vendors selling goofy corporate hype or relabeled Spanish junk, but those just good ideas regardless IMO.
@@RevShifty wish I could grow some of that road kill skunk. My favorite. I would have all the neighborhood think I have a dead skunk in my yard. No skunks in n.c.
LIKE THIS GUY. TOP DUDE.
