Happy 420. Yeah, it’s a Monday but here is 4 hours and 20 minutes of Kaya-tude to get you through the case of the Mundanes. 20 sec.

Cooked this show up in my Secret Dubratory. About 50 songs devoted to the Seen Leaf with all my 80 plus Cannabis soundbytes, movie clips and other tomfoolery.

Played my favorite Seven Leaf gems from A to Z. Took a break to smoke some spliff with Queen Elizabeff

Then I wheeled it backwards from Z to A till it adds up to 260 minutes and zero seconds.

I tell you the story about how Reggae and the Bible and the Hairy Eyeball all mashed up at my sister Stacey’s wedding 20 years ago.

bozrah
Isaiah 63:1. Verse I turned to at random from Gideon Bible at my sister’s wedding. Reggae lyrics synchronicity: “Who is this man from Bozrah with his garments dipped in blood?” Eerie

Smile Jamaica: Reggae History Lessons Tab

Cover-the-story-of-jamaica-1962-001

Greetings,

I added a new Tab up top on the Smile Jamaica Webpage entitled Reggae History Lessons

I’m going through Smile Jamaica Ark-Ive air checks and harvesting the stories that I call Reggae History Lessons. My show for 25 five plus years has been to entertain and maybe do a little dab of educating about the Roots & Culture behind Reggae.

All my knowledge of Reggae and Dub for over 25 years makes its way into the show.

One more 420….Smile Jamaica’s Cannabis History Lessons (4/19/14)

stonedsilly
Celebrating his 5-4 victory over Al Gore on Airforce One Love

Greetings,

Hope everyone came out of the Holiday weekend okay. One last 420 before I move on in another musical direction.

Things you may not know and I didn’t tell you during the 20 Days of Cannabis

  • Adolph Hitler’s birthday – Apr. 20th (1889)
  • Bay of Pigs attack – Apr. 20th (1961)
  • Columbine High School Massacre – Apr. 20th (1999)
  • Deep Water Horizon catastrophe – Apr. 20th (2010)

Nevermind…

I have been doing Smile Jamaica Reggae Radio since Oct. ’89; under George “Ganja” Bush the Elder’s term. History degrees and working in a Research Library also from about ’88’-89.

So I combine my “vocation with my avocation” through little segments I like to call Reggae History Lessons. I am going to add a category of these short sound clips from the Ark-Ive Edition podcasts and a description.

Here is what I “harvested” (pun intended) from the Apr. 19: 20th Annual Cannabis Service Show:

Cannabis History Lessons (4/19/2014 Ark-Ive of Smile Jamaica) ; #1

Kif – Author Paul Bowles, who lived in North Africa, talks to the kif seller. I said, “Kif. From the Arabic kayaf. “To make high”. The sticky trichomes that shake loose from buds and are pressed into bricks of hash in Morocco and North Africa” (53:46-54:31 on sound file)

Kief_(yellow)
Kif – Morocco hash

Kif – Paul Bowles clip & Smile Jamaica explanation (45 sec.)

Now Wikipedia on Kief

 Cannnabis History Lesson #2:

Sensimilla – From the Spanish “without seeds”. Buds without seeds have higher potency or so I’ve heard.  I laugh sometimes at the grocery store when I see watermelon labeling in spanish “Sandia sinsemillas”. Seedless. Makes sensi to me! (54:56 in sound file)

Wikipedia definition

Sinsemilla Smile Jamaica explanation; 5 sec.

Cannabis History Lesson #3: Lambsbread

I said, “a type of flavor in Jamaica so called because of the fluffy nature of the buds on the stalk looked like a lamb’s tail. From lamb’s tail to lamb’s breath to lambsbread. 

Lambsbread – Urban Dictionary
