Ketama 'Beldia' General Population 1990
Ketama 'Beldia' General Population 1990 is a landrace cannabis accession of the beldiya landrace, collected in Ketama, Morocco, in the early 1990s. From these seeds The Real Seed Company (RSC) created the heirloom line it lists as Beldia, which is recorded at 1990 RSC Ketama 'Beldia' IBL. RSC describes that line as a Ketama heirloom, believed to be a pure Moroccan line that has never been outcrossed. The Real Seed Company lists the line, currently out of stock, on its Kwik Seeds site (checked 17 October 2026).

Lao people
The Lao (Lao ລາວ; Thai ลาว) are a Tai-speaking people of the middle Mekong. They are the largest ethnic group of Laos, where the 2015 census counted 3,427,665 Lao, 53.2 per cent of the population. A larger population of Lao speech and culture lives across the river in Northeastern Thailand, the region called Isan. Many of them have come to call themselves khon isan, "Isan people".
The present division of the Lao between two states goes back to the 19th century. After the defeat of the Vientiane king Anouvong in 1827–1828, Siam destroyed Vientiane and moved much of the population of the left bank of the Mekong to the right bank. The Franco-Siamese treaty of 1893 then made the river a border, ceding the Lao lands of the left bank to France. Lao is the national language of Laos. The Lao of Isan speak a variety that Thailand classes as a dialect of Thai and that its speakers have traditionally called Lao. Lowland Lao life centres on glutinous rice grown in paddy fields, on Buddhism blended with the cult of spirits and on the music of the khaen mouth organ. Cannabis, kan xa in Lao, was sold openly in Laos in the early 1970s. A seed seller associates ganja culture in Laos and Thailand above all with the ethnic Lao. read more →
