Cannabis landraces are original strains that have evolved over centuries in isolated regions without human influence. They are characterized by unique characteristics such as resilience, genetic stability and regional terpene profiles. Examples such as 'Afghani', 'Durban Poison' and 'Thai' are cultural and genetic treasures used in traditional, spiritual and medicinal contexts. In modern breeding, landraces serve as the basis for new hybrids and help maintain genetic diversity. However, many of these varieties are threatened by urbanization, genetic mixing and lack of awareness. The preservation of landraces is essential to preserve their special characteristics and cultural significance for future generations.
