PROFILE: 

NAME: HEINRICH MAAR

AGE: 38

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: KAZALHSTAN

HISTORY: MARIJUANA AND TOBACCO ADDICT

MY PAST: I was born in southern Kazakhstan, about 70 miles [120 km] from the city of Tashkent. The area was dry and hot in summer, with temperatures of reaching 110 degrees Fahrenheit [45 degrees C.], and in winter the temperatures dropped to about 15 degrees [-10 degrees C.]-ideal conditions for growing both grapes and marijuana.
