Kings of Cannabis

Follow Arjan Roskam and his team as they hunt for three of Colombia’s rarest strains of cannabis, which have remained genetically intact for decades, travelling from the country’s still-violent south to the breathtaking north.

Arjan opened his first coffee shop in Amsterdam in 1993, honing his marijuana-growing skills, and now runs an empire selling cannabis seeds that generates millions each year. He has bred some of the world’s most prominent marijuana strains, including White Widow and Super Silver Haze. As the legal tide in many nations turns away from criminalisation, Arjan is positioned at the vanguard of the legitimate side of the trade.
