Afghanistan.... but most of that has been imported to America along with their oil too since 9/11....
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ; i was just searching for afgan black pot and found a ton of info , look at some of this ... But fields of cannabis plants, some well over 6ft-high, line part of the main road leading west from Mazar-e-Sharif, the biggest city in northern Afghanistan.
With the main harvest expected in one to two months, growers in the roadside village of Khana Abad said they would ignore government warnings to tear up their crops.
"Maybe it isn’t good for our people, but we have to do it because of our economic problems," said Rouzudin, a farmer who said he heard the warnings broadcast on the radio only after investing a large sum in his hemp plot.
He said he might be able to harvest his leafy, dark green crop without state intervention.
Since the Taliban were ousted in a US-led war last year, Afghanistan’s new government and the United Nations have focused anti-drug efforts on eradicating opium-bearing poppies, which are used to make heroin.
Afghanistan was once the source of 70 per cent of the world’s opium, much of it originating in the south of the country.
The Taliban successfully banned poppies in 2001, but farmers quickly planted them again after the fall of the regime.
During the harvest earlier this year, the government offered compensation money to farmers who abandoned opium, but many reaped their harvest anyway.
Cannabis is less of a priority, even though Afghanistan, especially the northern part, is a major producer.
There is widespread hashish consumption in the country, and smugglers ferry the drug through Iran and to markets in the Gulf, Europe and beyond.
The United Nations has conducted surveys of poppy crops, but has not done so for cannabis.
Class C substance. It's illegal to own it and it's illegal to supply it. It's also an offence to grow cannabis.
Possession can get you up to two years in prison and an unlimited fine, although most people are either cautioned or fined. Serious offences of supplying cannabis can get you up to 14 years in prison and an unlimited fine.
Supplying includes passing a joint to a mate. If you're convicted, the court has discretion to take account of the circumstances of the offender and the offence before passing sentence

Never tried to compare myself but I do know that cannabis "Dagga" grown in Southern Africa is reputed to be amongst the strongest in the world.
