In a posting last fall here at the 3LB’s Cannabis Chronicles - More Buds in Bekaa - we detailed (with the help of a Christian Science Monitor article) the return of hashish production to Lebanon’s Bekaa valley. We also recently found a Dutch blogger who related much the same story - Revisiting Lebanon’s [...]
