Meet Captain Jack, a legendary cannabis breeder whose journey began in the rebellious 1960s. A life-changing encounter with a mythical Afghan hashish sparked his fascination with the plant, leading him to visit a small village out side of Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan. After befriending the growers in Afghanistan, they graciously gifted him with their precious cannabis seeds. With these prized seeds in hand, Jack set forth on a mission to cultivate his own Gulzar Afghanica on the West Coast of the United States. The aroma of Captain Jack's creations filled the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza, becoming synonymous with SNL and its legendary after-parties. Today, Jack's legacy as "The Smell of SNL" endures, inspiring the cannabis community and preserving a remarkable chapter in cultural history. Join us as we explore the captivating world of Captain Jack, his botanical wonders, and the profound impact he made on an entire generation.
