Summary
For those who have grown up surrounded by mountains and marijuana plants - like the farmers of Cauca, Colombia - it is a habit to watch them grow in disarray, experiment with them, "create" new varieties and quickly identify any insects or fungus, which damage the entire crop. Many learned to grow in the illegal market but today, organized, they fight to formalize their work and demand laws to finally get the plant out of the prohibition hole.
