Aaron Zeeman: Preserving Hawaii’s Lost Cannabis Genetics & The Hemp Ritual Handbook

This week on High on Home Grown, we’re joined by Aaron “Professor Potgrower” Zeeman, a Hawaii-based cannabis breeder, author and cannabis culture advocate. Aaron has spent more than 30 years in Hawaii and founded Big Island Genetics, where he works to preserve and breed Hawaiian heirloom cannabis genetics. Aaron joins us to talk about his book, The Hemp Ritual Handbook, a fascinating look at the culture, history and traditions that have surrounded cannabis for generations. It’s much more than a book about growing cannabis, exploring the rituals, experiences and culture that grew up around the plant long before legalisation and the modern cannabis industry. We also get deep into Hawaiian cannabis genetics, the legendary strains associated with the islands and the importance of preserving the genetics that have been passed down through generations. Aaron explains what he is doing through his breeding work in Hawaii and why keeping these old lines alive matters. From Hawaiian heirloom genetics and breeding to cannabis culture, his book and the history behind some of Hawaii’s most famous cannabis, this is a fascinating conversation with someone who has spent decades living and working with the plant. If you’re interested in cannabis history, genetics, breeding or simply the stories behind the plants we grow today, you won’t want to miss this one. 🌐 Website: High on Home Grown 💬 Discord: Join the High on Home Grown Discord ▶️ YouTube: High on Home Grown on YouTube
