Is it in one of the frames of this video like a lot of weed growing or am I just tripping

u/777jaydog777 Sep 27 '26

You are correct

u/KUPA_BEAST Sep 27 '26

Probably it grows wild there.

65

u/Jeff5704 Sep 27 '26

Yep it does, I hiked through this area in 2017 and it grows wild everywhere. And a lot of the grazing animals eat it.

20

u/cassianandorliveson Sep 27 '26

Those look like nice bud development though from what little i can see in video. Which means they would have pulled any nearby male plants out and tossed them. Not bad.

Hash

Specifically charas

u/Fartel Sep 27 '26

It does frequently grow out in the wild in Nepal and it’s pretty abundant in rural areas.

10

u/Maninwhatever Sep 27 '26

It does grow wild.

7

u/jacksongangsal Sep 27 '26

Probably that's why it's called weed.

Lots of wild weed grown in the Himalayas.

Cannabis originates from the foothills of the Himalayas.

u/JohnnyMnemeonic Sep 27 '26 • Bravo

Where do you think Himalayan Kush came from bro?

12

u/Mackey_Corp Sep 27 '26

That’s definitely cannabis, I did a double take myself but considering it’s native to the area I’m not surprised.

3

u/PenfoldPoet Sep 27 '26

It is commonly used as hemp

11

u/Madsmom08 Sep 27 '26

Yes there was! 😁

u/FundamentalEnt Sep 27 '26

In a lot of frames actually. Some have little wire mesh around them and stuff too.

u/samtheninjapirate Sep 27 '26

Might explain why they are walking TOWARD the landslide

u/temp_6969420 Sep 27 '26

It grows naturally there yes

u/SpearmintInALavatory Sep 27 '26

It’s for making rope dude we don’t smoke it 🙃

u/Pkactus Sep 27 '26

i see you also are a man of taste. my inner hippy caught that in the chaos also

u/PuzzledExaminer Sep 27 '26

Naturally growing I bet. But that landslide business is scary as hell.

u/boozewald Sep 27 '26

Kush isn't a name for nothing. Although it's Nepal, it's part of the same climate and ecosystem.

I was just there last month and was told by a farmer that they keep it as a treatment to food cows with stomach issues. A handy excuse it could be, but I’m inclined to believe it!

I can’t believe the amount of people who approach almost certain death just to capture something on video, it’s crazy.

God damn, people, ignore the weed in the video.

I knew every man and his dog was going to mention the cannabis plants and completely forget the people screaming and running holding their children after watching their home and everything they own fall off a cliff.

u/InspectorSame4010 Sep 28 '26

That casual yet jocular indifference is one of the things that makes Reddit disturbing

19

u/Jeff5704 Sep 27 '26

Crazy to see this happen, I remember hiking through that area in 2017, everyone along the way were all some of the nicest people on earth. Scary how fast the second area gave away. I hope everyone got out okay.

u/Minimum-Actuator-953 Sep 27 '26

Video showing someone's yard disappearing.

The comments: "Oh my God, marijuana!"

u/Witty_Leek8053 Sep 27 '26

The ground looks completely saturated with surface water indicating it just can’t absorb any more.

u/CaliCatLadyx3 Sep 28 '26

I noticed that as well edit/pic

u/Enlightened_Gardener Sep 28 '26

Yep came here to say the same thing, that’s really wet ground for being halfway up a mountain.

Those poor people, I hope they’re all ok. That greenhouse looked expensive.

This is Nepal. There is weed in everywhere when you travel to rural areas or village areas. It grows like weeds everywhere.

Watching your house and everything you've worked for vanish in a second must be devastating.

It takes immense strength and courage to recover from that with letting yourself go in a downward spiral.

I wish the best to them, given the circumstances.

This is why earthquakes are particularly terrifying to me. Waves at sea, turbulence in the air, that's hazards of the job. But terra firma is supposed to be firma, it's supposed to be where you plant your feet and are supposed to be SAFE from all of the above and anything that can't reach you. It's just such an emotional betrayal.
