Coming to England felt like a good idea at the time the promises of easy money and Status had made this journey seem like the obvious choice as a pathway out of poverty the debt incurred from being trafficked into the country would be nothing compared to the riches that lay

Ahead however now it seemed the only way to pay back the Albanian gangsters who ran the smuggling Rings would be to work in their underground pot Farms anyone who lives in the UK would admit that the country’s pot Market is highly active with a variety of different flavors but

One flavor that is particularly common for reasons that we’ll get into is stardog a strain that has been linked to the Albanian gangs who have been running the UK pot scene for a number of years now anyways welcome to the Trap tree series please make sure to the like

It so many years back Albania was the largest outdoor grower of pot in all of Europe if you would like to learn more about this you can actually go check out an entire video that I did on the billion dooll Market created by outdoor pot farms in Albania in the small little

Town of lazarat go check it out it’s really really interesting but the video is currently available on our new online platform sign up for free today l in the description down below like I said earlier but recently police have been making a greater effort to end these illegal Albanian P businesses over the

Years the Crackdown destroyed the more profitable Farms enough that the Albanian pot Market is now really struggling however many of these pot growers were businessmen so instead of just sitting around and watching their businesses be mowed over they decided to carry their expertise and businesses elsewhere and as you might have guessed

That elsewhere was Britain in just a couple of years they set up highly productive row and were in charge of the British pop Market in no time however they operated outdoor Farms back in Albania in the UK they were more careful keeping things indoors smell proofing

Stuff a bunch of other you know tricks stealing the power stuff like that so all over England though right now especially in places like Manchester Glouchester Peterboro and Leeds there are empty houses in industrial buildings that have been dedicated to growing pot and a good portion of that pot being

Grown in these abandoned buildings is is stardog before we jump back into the video I just want to say big thank you to Dr smoke for supporting this content if you guys go over to Dr smoke.com and use my discount code LMC you’re going to get 15% off your entire order again

Content some say starg got its name from The Shining tricomes that cover it mimicking the brightest star in the night sky Sirius also known by some cultures throughout history as the dog star so Canis Major the greater dog has been documented by countless cultures throughout human history the ancient Egyptians revered Sirius associating

With the Goddess Isis and basing their calendar on the Stars Rising they called it the Nile star or the star of Isis to the ancient Greeks Syria was a symbol of the hot humid days at the end of summer which were called the dog days because they coincide with the Stars appearance

Before Sunrise Homer in his epic The Iliad described it as a sign of the coming heat and Associated it with the warrior Achilles the Polynesians observed the star as it appeared on the horizon and used it to ensure their voyages were on the correct course the star also holds significance in other

Cultures such as the ancient Persians who saw its rise as a harbinger of Good Fortune dog on people of West Africa who have a complex cosmology centered around Sirius which they believe was the home of their ancestral Spirits the astronomical significance of Sirus is just as fascinating as the brightest

Star it has been a key object of study in the development of modern astrophysics throughout history the dog star has been a beacon of Wonder helping guide Humanity’s understanding of the cosmos both spiritually and scientifically now while Albanian pot dealers are responsible for a lot of the

Stardog that is making its way around the UK they did not create the flavor see the flavor was created by an man named JJ from Top Dog seeds in the US according to JJ the way to identify stardog is by the smell the smell is strong gassy kind of like a diesel and

Pine and it hits you immediately when you open it bag when he made stardog he never intended for it to be saturate the pop Market in the way that it has but that’s what happens with genetics right if the genetic becomes popular well organiz ations are going to utilize that

Brand or that train whether or not you have it even right if you would like to learn more about the history of the starg train we will be releasing a video on that through our genetic show called retro te stay tuned on that so what was it about stardog that

Shot it into the spotlight well with Pop flavors it’s difficult to say exactly what will click with a market but a major reason Albanian producers decided to start growing pot in their various UK locations is because in addition to being a good strain it has a high yield now these two characteristics make

Starock a financially viable flavor for organized crime groups so it makes sense that producers would start making a lot of it especially the black market producers and as was mentioned earlier some of these Albanian cultivators are guys who left their country because law enforcement was bulldozing their pop

Businesses at home they needed a country that was a bit more conducive to their operation and decided on the UK they already knew how to run successful pop businesses and including which strains to focus on now that said a significant portion of these producers are just people who escaped their country because

Of the financial hardships at home coming to the UK to run pot grow was their only way out of poverty now in contrast to the people making a bulk of the money at the top of the organization these people inadvertently find themselves forced to grow pot they escape Albania in search of greener

Pastures however they do it illegally paying or owing human traffickers like the Golden Lion an Albanian gangster who runs the smuggling route from Dunkirk thousands of pounds to move them into the UK now apparently they are promised that the UK government would provide them with food blankets and everything

Else that they need even putting them up in hotels till they are able to get on their feet however they soon find out that they have been deceived now unfortunately because many of these escapes could not afford the thousands of pounds to pay their way through well they don’t just find themselves

Shelterless and hungry upon entering the UK they also find themselves steeped in De debt and this is where the drug lords come in they recruit these people to work in their indoor pot Farms with Promises of quick and easy money and while this might not have been part of

Their plan with these immigrants that left their home country they were now in too much debt to resist this kind of offer so some of the people being smuggled do it voluntarily but many are there without consent and this is a common tactic employed by criminal organizations around the world if you

Haven’t seen the video by the way that I did on the Chinese Mafia and the Bubba strains I highly recommend you go check that out this is a very very very similar video it’s very very parallel but human trafficking for the purpose of forc Labor in the illegal drug trade is

A form of modern-day slavery it usually goes something like this individuals often vulnerable due to economic hardship displacement or coercion are trafficked and then exploited to cultivate manufacture or distribute drugs traffickers use violence threats and other forms of coercion to control their victims who are made to work in hazardous conditions without proper

Protection or Fair compensation debt bondage is a common method of control and the situations victims are told they owe a debt which they must work off but the terms of the debt are often undefined or structured in a way that makes it impossible to repay thus perpetuating a cycle of endless

Servitude victims are often kept isolated and their movements are restricted to prevent them from seeking help or escaping the psychological and physical impact on those who are trapped in such conditions is profound leading to long-term trauma and health issues sometimes though these organizations will uphold their side of the deal too

But kind of too far few in between so whether con ual or not though human trafficking from Albania and a number of other countries to the UK is a big business with people like the Golden Lion reportedly making up to $1 million per week now those who have either

Chosen or had to resort to pod growing after they found themselves increasingly in hot water as the UK authorities have been cracking down on Albanian pot operations in general but back in 2022 the ministry of Justice reported that the amount of money spent on hiring Albanian translators to communicate

Legal proceedings to suspend ected criminals had more than doubled in just 5 years which is a pretty indication of how many people flooded in from Albania now the implication here is that the number of Albanian pot growers who have been caught in the UK has increased significantly in The Last 5 Years which

Suggests that there has been a huge spike in the number of albanians that have been smuggled into the country according to official reports more than 32,000 people were illegally smuggled into Britain in small boats via the English Channel in 2021 alone and of that number about 60% were albanians

However the actual drug lords most likely the ones that moved their established operations from Albania to the UK are not the ones who have found themselves in police custody they try as much as possible to operate a hands-off business they employ these immigrants who are looking to survive or pay back

Their debt and put them in a house that is furnished with a kitchen toilet and PlayStation and only communicate with that employee via calls with SIM cards that are changed regularly the employees that have to be in the house around the clock for as long as it takes a batch to

Grow only leaving to get food or other necessities and all they have to do is water the plants adjust the temperature when weather gets too hot or too cold and wait to receive a call from the boss at the about the time that the crop yields the bosses usually know when to

Call because plants like stardog take between 55 and 60 days to grow that said it has to be mentioned that the employees are treated as well as possible and paid well too but it looks like the only reason for this is to keep the employees loyal in case they get

Caught and as a result while the number of these workers that have been caught in increases the Albanian operated pot businesses in the UK has continued to expand as well because the bosses themselves have evaded capture now these pot growers are in the business not because they love it but because they

Want money and want it quickly so it makes complete sense that they would latch on to the pot ST which has that high yielding and potency however it’s not enough that a strain has a high yield there also has to be a customer base for that strain to be successful

And luckily for The Growers they didn’t need to do much to promote it the train already had an exotic reputation the UK before the Albanian grower started selling it now no one knows exactly who brought stardog into the UK or who first smoked it there but rumors say that

Someone named Manny did it first which is why you might have heard stardog being referred to as Manny’s cut so by the time the Albanian Growers got into stardog this rain was already quite popular within the smoking communities in England however there’s no denying that these Growers were responsible for

Making this rain more locally available by significantly increasing the supply now you would expect that this increased Supply would result in reduced earnings for The Growers but it actually is not for one you’d have to remember that stardog has high yield which means that just a few seeds would produce lots of

Buds so production costs are really low leaving room for huge profits in addition to that smokers in England really enjoy stard doog and have continue to buy wherever they’ve seen it so it looks like as long as the Growers continue to grow this drain they’ll continue to have a market unless the

Authori step in there also is a potential for oversaturation to occur right and I’ve talked about this in the video where I talk about the Chinese Mafia and the Bubba strains right whenever you have tooo much Supply you’re going to devalue eventually the more stardog out there the less exotic

Is going to feel and the less you know less likely over time that people are going to want to smoke that Albanian pot producers are becoming increasingly known not just for their control of the British pot scene but also for their violent activities as each gang tries to

Gain as much influence in the market as they can so the possibility of being caught and imprisoned by law enforcement is not the only threat that Grower’s face there’s also the possibility of having your product stolen or even being victims of potentially violent attacks now there have been of people getting

Beaten up to the point of paralysis some having aone in their faces even being you know axed right but people still go into the business because they believe that they don’t have any other choice and as for whether the stardog will continue to dominate the market well that’s difficult to say for sure

Probably won’t you know just like anything it’s going to be the more volume that comes out and the more saturation there is of the string the more it’s going to devalue but the demand in the UK is still somewhat high but there’s no saying whether or not a

New better strain will be introduced into the market soon rendering stardog obsolete I’m sure there probably is if you are from the UK let me know Down Below in the comments are there any new Popp and strains that are really making the same kind of impact potentially or

Have the potential to reach that impact who knows now another aspect too I want to just highlight is that you know the albanians are also now known for like you know they dominate The Powder Game what I’ve talked about in other past videos is that while I don’t think the

Consumption of this plan is necessarily a gateway drug I do think it’s potentially in Gateway economic portal and and what I mean by that is that it’s a Gateway for dealers to start to sell harder drugs right because it starts out with weed and then because they have the

Smuggling routes set up because they have you know that client base already they’re much easier to just quickly add on new harder drugs to sell to their customers and just make more money right anyway there’s definitely a lot of parallelisms there when it comes to like

I said the video that I did a year or plus ago about me talking about my experience in Seattle with the Platinum Bubba packs the Asian packs whatever you want to call it but really interesting stuff so in addition though know law enforcement agencies right they might be

Successful enough in their raids to completely wipe out all the mother plants or sources of the stardog train but for now those Star Dogs continue to reign supreme among the smokers in Britain and so do the Albanian pot gangs so in conclusion a combination of potency novelty availability and people

Involved all play a role in the popul strain price is also another component as well at the wholesale level now the albanians hold on the UK pop Market combined with the highly sought-after flavor profile and Powerful effect of this Trin have cemented stardog at the

Top of the UK pop Market but how long can this last as we’ve seen repeated over and over again in other markets it’s only a matter of time before these factors push another strain into the favor of consumers what strain do you think is up next in the UK please and

Especially I would love to hear from anybody that’s living in the UK from the UK let me know now if you’re interested in learning more about the history of stardog and other iconic trins check out our show retro Tech we will also be releasing an episode on JJ and the

Stardog soon so let us know know what you think in the comments down below so yeah the albanians have been going off for sure but the albanians really AR just another group in this long succession of or this you know long succession of just different different Mafia groups pretty much utilizing this

Plant as a way to make a lot of money and they leverage obviously you know human trafficking people trying to get into certain countries and they blow up the you know genetic right the one that’s popular in that area they figure that out they then over Mass produce it and then they just

Pretty much take over the market but it’s always you know so like I said if you guys haven’t seen the the video that I did it’s called how the Chinese Mafia destroyed the Bubba strains go watch it it’s very similar the the parallelisms here are uncanny um it’s like literally
