Hi!

Very cool thread I am glad there is place to talk about it!
I am not sure how it works here, if I should create a thread about my experience in cannabis in Madagascar, my english is not perfect…

Things coming from Madagascar are called Malagasy and we don’t say Zamala, it’s Jamal, Rongony, Maintso, Meina or simply ganja. Zamal is how they say in La Réunion, a French Island (actually Mayotte too) close to Madagascar. I am not sure the how term “zamala” is actually used but I might be wrong.

As for the different strains, it’s complicated.
I found few different kinds, the Créoles gave them names but from what I’ve experienced there is tomato taste one, mango, pepper/spicy and red pistils. Many are molded/cobbed in some way. But they are all mixed up in the fields, there is loads of herms, it’s very seedy for the most part.
Locals seems to prefer the most seedy ones that are spicy and hit quite a bit if you are patient enough to sort the seeds out. It’s trippy effects, psychedelic high.

I got to mention, there is also actual fields of hybrids and kush/skunk types of high quality. I know there is an old Kush here in the mountains that have been selected and kept for decades and mixed up with the other landraces to make very good hybrids, with no more seeds or very few. I nowadays smoke that kind.

I probably should have post those pics here… Please forgive my amateurism this is guerilla growing

thanks

Salut et bienvenue à toi sur OG CrazyLemur,
Manahoana! :star_struck:

Ya i mainly use the Malagasy term “zamala” as education, connection and origin of La Réunion’s famous. By the way i wonder how it was called longtime ago, knowing that in the last century the cannabis become very taboo “fady” partly due to its powerful effects i think. ^^ Jamal(a) sounds nice old but i know rongony is the most used in literary Malagasy.

Thanks welcome again and by the pleasure to send you my work in future, my next generation will be focused on the few purple fruity moms’s offspring i separated. I think to develop and isolate multiple lines in the line and the fruity purple one is my first cap with Zam will see! Veloma!
