News and Events -

Over the past few millennia, humans have been discovering and harnessing the properties of countless substances in nature, from plants that help facilitate the digestion of food to others that provide a series of psychoactive effects, thanks to which our most spiritual and transcendent side has been greatly expanded. From plants like cannabis to magic mushrooms, there are a large number of completely natural compounds that we have used to open the borders of our minds. Today we are going to talk about one of these substances, undoubtedly one of the most powerful known. Exactly, we are talking about DMT, a compound present in some plants (and also in animals) that has been used for millennia in shamanic ceremonies and rituals in countries such as Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, or Venezuela to access altered states of consciousness.

How does the THC drug test for driving work in Germany?

As you may know, cannabis has recently been legalised in Germany in a political move that many other European countries are eager to see on their own territory. Naturally, this legalisation has been accompanied by a series of laws and regulations that all users must respect if they do not want to come into conflict with the German administration, and the issue of driving under the influence of THC is no exception. Today we are going to tell you everything you need to know about this controversial topic, as it is known that tests to detect THC in saliva confirm its presence in the body (in fact, that of the metabolite 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC, also called THC-COOH), without determining whether the person has consumed it a week ago or a few minutes ago. Let's see below how this issue will develop in Germany.

Fuertedélica: III international conference on psychedelics

This is also why events such as Fuertedélica were born. They aim to delve deeper into psychedelic therapies and expose their advantages and disadvantages compared to other types of therapies. Today, we tell you everything you need to know about this unique event, which will soon bring together some of the world's leading specialists in this discipline.

Horoscope and cannabis: the secrets of the zodiac

A blog doesn't become a reputable blog just like that. It takes years of innovative publications, with top-notch posts and bold and creative writers. We believe we have achieved this, but we had left out a key aspect to become a reference blog: the post about the horoscope and the signs of the zodiac; of course, we have taken it to our territory. In this article, you will find the marijuana family that best suits you depending on your zodiac sign. We have not dared to select a particular variety for any sign, which would be like shooting a three-pointer with the eyes closed, rather we recommend a family from those we have on the web; any of the descendants of this one will surely match the description we make of each genetic branch. We would love to hear your feedback on them if you feel represented and if you like the variety we have chosen for you, or if you think another one might be better suited to you. We'll read you in the comments section! ;)

30 Years Of Dutch Passion

Humble beginnings Dutch Passion were formally established in 1987, but the first genetics were collected in the 1970?s when Henk van Dalen was a Biology Student at Amsterdam University. In those days cannabis was being imported into Amsterdam from all over the world. Henk began collecting the different seeds from various batches of cannabis which in the early days came from numerous sources. Nigerian, South African, Brazilian, Filipino, Thai and even Californian cannabis was making its ways to the early Amsterdam Coffee shops. These varieties were often quite different in terms of the effect of the cannabis and the quality. The seeds were collected and became the basis of the early Dutch Passion breeding. At the time, indoor growing techniques and equipment were quite basic. But Henk managed to grow the seeds, and eventually the best plants were selected for breeding and eventual crossing. Soon it was clear that the cannabis being grown in Amsterdam was of superior quality to that being imported. The 1970?s indoor growing scene was small, but the community of first seed pioneers was already at work, and they had a good selection of cannabis genetics from all over the world to start from. Today Dutch Passion still operate out of Amsterdam and have remained true to their original goal - to focus exclusively on supplying the best quality cannabis seeds.
