Coromandel peninsula
-
A beautiful twig of land in New Zealand. Has built up a huge reputation concerning artists, hippies, communes, and a whole lot of marijuana chucked in. Also known as the Dope Capital Of New Zealand,(I have heard people refer to [Napier] as this too but really - no. Napier just-just-doesnt compare.shakes head reminiscently)it is famed for its long history of producing some very good quality marijuana. The THC content( Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol)of Coromandel cannabis is rumoured at being higher than anywhere else in NZ.
Geographically it is compiled of a [volcanic], forest-clad range, [fringed] with stunning ivory (beach)es and flaming pohutukawas. There are several towns along the [coastline], but these are nothing special, except for perhaps Coromandel township. Thames is a hole to the highest order, and unfortunatly enough, is also the gateway to the peninsula. If youre coming to Coromandel, then dont let Thames put you off. It gets better [the further] north you go. Its only bad quality is the plethora of [J.A].F.As that swamp it around the summer months. However an off-season visit ensures you miss these unsavoury [saprophytes].
