Landrace Strains
Landrace strains of cannabis are native to a specific region and have been growing there for centuries. They have not been crossbred with other strains, and they have a unique genetic makeup that gives them their own distinct characteristics.
Landrace strains are often prized for their high levels of terpenes and cannabinoids, which give them their unique flavor and aroma. They are also often more resistant to pests and diseases than other strains and can be grown in a wider range of climates.
All equipped with higher levels of THC, here are some of the most popular landrace strains:
Afghani - An indica-dominant strain native to Afghanistan known for its relaxing effects.
Colombian Gold - This sativa-dominant strain is native to Colombia and is known for its uplifting effects.
Hawaiian Haze - A sativa-dominant strain native to Hawaii, known for its euphoric effects.
Malawi Gold - A sativa-dominant strain native to Malawi and is known for its uplifting effects.
Some of the benefits of using landrace strains:
Landrace strains often have higher levels of terpenes and cannabinoids than other strains. Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its unique flavor and aroma. Cannabinoids are the active ingredients in cannabis that have a variety of therapeutic effects.
Landrace strains are often more resistant to pests and diseases than other strains. This is because they have evolved to grow in often harsh environments.
Landrace strains can (generally) be grown in a wider range of climates than other strains.
