ZaZA The Origins: Pirates, Port Royal, and Precious Seeds
Over 300 years ago in India, the original Zaza seeds thrived naturally along the sacred Ganges River. These weren’t ordinary seeds—they were the OG of cannabis genetics, preserved and perfected over centuries.
But how did they reach the Caribbean?
Enter the Pirates of Port Royal.
Known as the “wickedest city on Earth” and once the richest port in the world, Port Royal became the trading ground where pirates exchanged precious ganja seeds with the Taino Indians, the original inhabitants of the Caribbean. In return, they received spices, seeds, and fresh water—an early high-stakes trade that shaped cannabis history.
A Journey Through Time: From the Taino to the Maroons
The arrival of Christopher Columbus devastated the Taino people, with over one million lives lost. Yet the seeds endured, passed from the Taino to the Arawak, and later to the Maroons—a fearless community of formerly enslaved Africans who secured independence from the British in 1862.
For the Maroons, these seeds became a symbol of resilience and freedom.
James Zaza: The Modern-Day Ganja Guru
Fast forward to today. Meet James Zaza, a Toronto entrepreneur and direct descendant of King David. Determined to preserve cannabis history, he acquired the original landrace genetics from the Maroons for $1 million.
He then crossbred them with legendary landrace strains from Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Congo, Israel, Afghanistan, and Indonesia. The result? A one-of-a-kind strain—powerful, pure, and celebrated worldwide as the holy grail of weed.
Zaza: The Global Phenomenon
James Zaza isn’t just a cannabis connoisseur—he’s a trailblazer.
First launched in Canada, then expanded to Mexico, Colombia, 38 U.S. states, and Jamaica.
Helped finance global cannabis giants like Canopy, Aurora, Aphria, Supreme, and Tokyo Smoke.
Sold his Tokyo Smoke founder’s shares to Canopy for $286 million, turning a $6M investment into history.
This achievement crowned him “the first marijuana millionaire”, a title celebrated at cannabis conferences around the world.
