A Geo Korea Cultural Video

Korean Loomers are hard at work producing the finest of fabrics as a sacred act. Koreans bury their dead in hemp. It shows respect.
By the time one gets married they will have already paid a decendent of the ancient loomers to pray and sing their tears into the woven hemp fabric so it may transend into a sacred burial cloth.
"Paji" is Korean for men's pants. PajiMa when made of hemp. In western culture "Pajama's" were made of hemp. Coincidence? No way!
Read about my journey to meet and shake hands with the finest loomer in Korea. www.hypervue.com/chap10/chap10.html

  • I believe its because the hash is hand made i.e the trichomes are screened and the fallen trichomes are then gathered and rolled by hand until its large enough to press. were was this biologist and how did you ship hash?

  • I've watched film of the event many years ago. A friend of mine lived among the villagers for a few years & gained their confidence. There is a little more to the process but it's true. We sent a sample to a student biologist who confirmed a large amount of body cells.

  • WTF? im not sure that cannabis was a sacrament in korea but i know its been used as tradiotnal medicine and was recreationally used during the korean folk movement...

    Also are you joking about the afghan hash its hard to tell in text, because im positive hash is produced the same way in Afghanistan as it is done in the rest of the middle east which is by screening the buds and collecting the fallen trichomes..

  • Koreans have traditionally grown cannabis for medicine & sacrament for thousands of years. But since 1972 they grow in the closet as they ferment Kimchee.

    Afgan Hash is produced by the local population. They strip down naked, shower & shave all body hair. Then run through the cannabis fields with outstretched arms. Collecting the THC along the way. Finally caked with crystals, attendants then scrape it off the body, collect it & form bricks out of human body cells & THC. Yuk.

  • Cannabis ruderalis may be "dirt weed" but its been used to produce autoflower strains such as lowryder, thus it has its uses. Also i know that sinsimelia have been used but i believe that seeded bud was used to create hash and charas aswell.

    Also i know of Baji i own a couple of pairs of han bok that has been smoke dyed in the traditional method, and happens to be made out of ssam(hemp) plus i have seen feral landrace dae ma in jeju island couldnt collect a cutting tho.

  • Cannabis ruderalis is "dirt weed". When males pollinate females the THC is about 1 to 3%. The ancients said, "She would cry sticky crystals, staining to catch any stray pollen that might happen her way". Medicinal / Sacramental buds are about 15 to 18% THC.

    I visited 3 weavers in the town of Andung, South Korea, (see hypervueDOTcom in chap10, the Dali Llama. I held the plant & the woven fibers. It's hemp at it's finest. A pair of men's hemp pants in Korean is Paje-ma. Pajama in english.

  • Cryptomeria has no relation to cannabis sativa which is most predominantly used for hemp production. Cryptomeria is not even in the same family.

    Also what are you talking about? olny females produce seed males produce pollen sacks buddy.

    Also drug cultivar cannabis does not require you to pull males, look out how has cultivars are used....

  • Cannabis/Hemp or Cryptomeria happens when males pollinate the female plants & then both go into seed production. The stocks & seeds are harvested for toxic free paper, pesticide free fabrics from the finest linens to canvas, renewable earth friendly fuels, the finest foods, bio degradable plastics, paints & varnishes.

    "Weed" requires you pull the males so the females aren't pollinated. The girls go into THC production of buds for medicine & sacrament. Healing, prayer, celebration & inspiration.

  • Cryptomeria is not hemp, its revisionist history hemp is cannabis cant you tell its weed in the video...

  • i rili luv KOREA!!!!!!! Korea at its best!!!!
