Unknown (Landrace heritage)
**Landrace Heritage** refers to the original, indigenous cannabis strains that evolved naturally in specific geographic regions over centuries, long before modern breeding programs. These are the foundational genetics from which all modern cultivars descend.
**Key Regions & Characteristics:**
* **Afghanistan/Hindu Kush:** Source of broad-leaf, resinous, indica-dominant plants prized for hashish production and sedative effects.
* **Thailand, Vietnam, Laos:** Origin of tall, lanky, sativa-dominant plants with long flowering times, cerebral effects, and tropical aromas.
* **Colombia, Mexico, Panama:** New World sativas known for their energetic, uplifting highs and adaptability.
* **Africa (Morocco, Malawi, Durban, Swaziland):** Diverse genetics ranging from kif-producing varieties to unique, potent sativas like Malawi Gold.
* **India & Nepal:** Sacred regions with genetics used for charas (hand-rubbed hashish) and spiritual purposes.
* **Jamaica & the Caribbean:** Sativa strains that formed the basis of much of Western cannabis culture.
**Philosophy & Contribution:** These strains are the result of natural selection and traditional agricultural practices, not a single breeder. They represent pure, stable gene pools adapted to their local environments. Their immense contribution is providing the raw genetic material—the building blocks of cannabinoids, terpenes, growth patterns, and hardiness—that all modern breeders have used to create today's hybrids. Preserving these landrace genetics is considered a critical mission for maintaining biodiversity and historical lineage in cannabis.
