Please let me begin this Travel story by stating that "I am absolutely no expert in the Technical aspect of Ganja". To me if the colour is green and it looks like a leaf then it's Marijuana, Cannabis, Weed or Hemp.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they are all the same natural substance (just different terms). I have no idea what a BUD is or exactly which plant it comes from. I'm saying all this just incase the more experienced Cannabis users on Blurt think that I'm talking rubbish! As I probably am 😂
Anyway, on with my story...

After searching through some of my old Holiday photo folders I found something that resembles a cave. Not quite a mountain cave but something interesting erected in the back of the Hotel grounds at Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt (2006).
I guess this meeting place was more of a tent than a cave, so you have to use your imagination LOL but it's kinda similar. This picture was taken early afternoon, so no people were there. At night though it was buzzing with the local "Bedouin Tribe" Nomads who worked in the Hotel. From the very first night I was invited to sit with them, drink coffee and smoke shisha from the huge Hookah pipes.
Shisha is a sweet smelling sticky substance that is available in several flavours, my personal favourite was Strawberry. Their offer of mixing in a small amount of Cannabis very quickly comes, for a couple of extra Euros (of course), but this is how they make a little extra money. These are poor people, and I was happy to give them something for their hospitality & kindness.
The Egyptian guys were friendly, and loved showing me pictures on their very out-dated mobile phones and asking all about England. None of them had ever visited the United Kingdom.
I felt very at ease with these guys, as we chatted, one even offered to sell me his head band and fabric head cover. Which I accepted for just a few Euros, he fitted it on my head & I wore it proudly for most of the remaining holiday. Another guy offered to sell me his shirt, can you believe that? These Arabs would sell you anything probably, including a Camel LOL ~ I declined his offer, smiling! 😀
Yet More Hookahs...
- In the photo below, you can just see the Hotel Complex in the distance on the right. The rest of the view is mostly desert and mountains, somewhere they walked to their main base camp (not sure exactly where) to sleep.

🤣 so bud is from Cannabis, marijuana is cannabis slang.
Hemp is the same family of plant but has no THC normally some CBD but it is what's used for the fibers to make clothing and many other great things like plastic
Thanks for sharing this awesome post.
