Jambaló is a cannabis appellation in the Northern Cauca growing area, covering the municipality of Jambaló in the department of Cauca, Colombia.
Geography
The appellation is the municipality, at the southern end of the growing area. It adjoins the Toribío appellation to the north-east and Caloto to the north. The municipality lies within an indigenous reserve (resguardo); according to the local ombudsman, 98 per cent of its people are Nasa and two per cent Misak.[1]
Cultivation
In 2018 a resident of Toribío told the Dejusticia researchers Luis Felipe Cruz and Isabel Pereira that at night the lit crops could be seen "from Corinto to Jambaló".[2]: 59 In 2023 a Nasa leader of Jambaló, Ana Elcy Tombé, said that more than 2,000 families in the municipality lived from marijuana or coca and that there was marijuana or coca in almost every vereda (rural district). The municipal ombudsman reported that the two crops had spread by 70 per cent in that half-year, and 800 people were registered in a guild of marijuana and coca growers in Jambaló. Women trained as community mediators worked with the indigenous authorities on manual eradication, offering growers other crops such as lulo in exchange.[1]
Indepaz estimated 790 marijuana growers in the municipality in 2023–2024; the 1,739 families of Jambaló in the national crop-substitution programme are coca growers.[3]: 46–47, 52 A survey of the anti-narcotics police reported in 2021 located 1.9 hectares of marijuana in Jambaló.[4] The Ministry of Defence's eradication data list two entries of marijuana eradicated in Jambaló, in January 2015 and April 2020, about five hectares in all.[5]
