By 1895, some Indian immigrants in Trinidad had become specialised ganja producers, growing the drug plant in Venezuela and smuggling it back to Trinidad to avoid colonial customs authorities.[1] Duvall counts it the second-best evidence found for seed transport by Indian labourers — though by that late date the entrepreneurs more likely sowed seeds from plants already growing in the Americas than seeds direct from India.[1]
