Landrace Cannabis Growing Region and Accession Map

   Northeastern Thailand

Northeastern Thailand

Southeast Asia - Khorat Plateau

The Khorat Plateau NLD landrace corridor retains core Thai-stick genetics, but diversity is eroding rapidly; conservation and documentation are urgently needed.

Endangered {{#if:| {{{GrowingArea}}} | } 100+ accessions

Profile coming soon

   Northern Laos

Northern Laos

Southeast Asia - Lao Highlands

Rugged northern Lao highlands with NLD-type landraces still in cultivation, but under intense pressure; documentation and conservation are urgent.

Critical {{#if:| {{{GrowingArea}}} | } 9 accessions

Profile coming soon

   Western Himalayas

Western Himalayas

South Asia - Western Himalayas

Charas heartland where high-elevation, village-managed NLD landraces persist despite tourism and law-enforcement pressure—resilient yet not invulnerable.

Vulnerable {{#if:| {{{GrowingArea}}} | } 100+ accessions

Profile coming soon

   Phu Phan Squirrel Tail, Phu Phan Hills Population

🔴 Critical Phu Phan Hills Population

Phu Phan Squirrel Tail

Southeast Asia - Mekong Basin - Khorat Plateau · Sakon Nakhon, Thailand

ID: ZOM-2023-TH-001 Collected by Éloïse, Zomia Collective} 2023-11-15 Tier 2 Seed bank

Legendary NLD associated with “Thai Sticks”; selection under hybrid pressure.

🟠 Endangered Khao Luang Population

Meun Sri (Khao Luang)

Southeast Asia - Peninsular Thailand - Khao Luang · Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand

ID: ZOM-2020-TH-001 Collected by Éloïse, Zomia Collective} 2025-04-15 Tier 2 Seed bank

Southern Thai landrace from the Khao Luang massif; historically selected for resin and aroma; now under heavy hybrid pressure along the lowland trade routes.

Profile coming soon

Unknown Sipchu Population

Sipchu Domesticate (Kalimpong Range)

South Asia - Eastern Himalaya - Kalimpong Range · West Bengal, India

ID: ZOM-2025-IN-054 Collected by Éloïse, Zomia Collective} 2025-06-20 Tier 2 Seed bank

Himalayan foothill accession from tea-garden margins; mixed feral/domesticate mosaic with monsoon hardiness.

Profile coming soon

We are witnessing the rapid disappearance of traditional cultivation knowledge and genetic diversity in cannabis. These landrace populations represent thousands of years of natural and human selection, containing unique genetic traits and chemical profiles. Systematic documentation and conservation efforts can serve as a bridge—preserving irreplaceable genetic heritage while supporting traditional communities and advancing our understanding of this remarkable plant.
