“In 1979, Old Ed came from Oregon to the Netherlands. He brought us
his knowledge of ‘Sinsemilla’ horticulture and his seeds.
For 5 years he lived in my house and I felt blessed in his presence.
For me he was send by God. He taught me to smoke pure, grow organically
and communicate with the plants.
His seeds were the first in Europe to be commercialized by the Amsterdam
Lowlands Seed Company (1980-1984). That was the start of Eurocannabis.
He was a dedicated opponent of the anti-cannabis laws and saw that it
was an almost moral obligation to break them.”
