enjoy POT PILGRIMAGE: by Kent Gruetzmacher In the middle of the Cold War era, scores of Western youth wandered between Istanbul and Kathmandu in search of enlightenment. While these idealistic kids certainly personified the many stereotypes of the love generation, they seem to have discovered something real with their acceptance of meager travel amenities and the ritualized use of cannabis. 64 grow. heal. learn. enjoy. myhydrolife.ca
In the late 1960s through to the end of the 1970s, hundreds of thousands of counter-culture youth embarked on a voyage along the now-legendary Hippie Trail. The overland route loosely traced the footsteps of both Alexander the Great and the Silk Road. Starting at the edge of the European continent in Istanbul, Turkey, the Hippie Trail meandered through Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Nepal, where it reached its conclusion in Kathmandu. Winding across Asia, these mercurial vagabonds abandoned the materialistic Cold War mindsets of the United States, Western Europe, and Australia. They hoped to be transformed by the foreign cultures of the region; to discover something spiritually palpable in an era wrought with war and civil unrest. In their travels, the trail’s eccentric pioneers infused their deep mistrust for the establishment with a sense of adventure, writes Agnieszka Sobocinska in her article “Following the Hippie Sahibs.” It gave birth to the contemporary notion of “alternative travel,” which was grounded in ideals of culturally genuine travel experiences. In their attempts to experience the locales of the Hippie Trail more holistically than with traditional traveling, voyagers toured about on a tight budget and absorbed all they needed from local people along the way. Perhaps the most common social cord between these starry-eyed youth and the populaces of western Asia came in the form of marijuana use. Not surprisingly, as Boštjan Kravanja writes in his review of the book Thai Stick: Surfers, Scammers, and the Untold Story of the Marijuana Trade, the term “Hippie Trail.” is often used synonymously with the term “hash route” A large reason for the association of cannabis and the hippie trail is the fact that areas along the route—most notably in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India—provide exceptional environments for growing cannabis plants. These regions of the Himalayan foothills feature hot, dry summers with an abundance of sunshine. myhydrolife.ca grow. heal. learn. enjoy. 65
