“Most dealers use crude presses made out of automobile frames in order to make the harvested marijuana into bricks, or kilos. A large hydraulic jack is used to push the marijuana down into the press.” “The finished kilo—2.2 pounds of gold—is shown here. Many dealers soak their grass in a sugar solution before bricking—here Pepsi-Cola is being used. The sugar helps bind the weed, but destroys some of its potency. Gringo smugglers try to avoid sugared marijuana.”

Ganja is a very superior grade of Indian hemp much stronger than the best marijuana available in the United States. Allen was in India for a long while, and his “First Manifesto to End the Bringdown” is perhaps the best source of reasons why marijuana smoking is one of the most beneficial things a person can do, and not a little holy. — Harry Monroe, San Francisco Oracle (1967)
