Featured Accessions
🔴 Critical • Northeastern Thailand
Legendary landrace sativa known to many as 'Thai Sticks', grown in the Phu Phan hills of Sakhon Nakhon province in Northeastern Thailand. Famed for soaring cerebral effects and traditional bamboo stick curing. Facing extreme pressure from hybrid contamination and changing cultivation practices.
🟠 Endangered • Northern Afghanistan
Heavy indica from Afghanistan's historic hash-making region. Dense, resinous buds with sedating effects. Population declining due to ongoing regional conflicts and security issues.
🟡 Vulnerable • Himachal Pradesh, India
Sacred variety from the isolated village of Malana, traditionally used for high-grade charas production. Facing extinction from tourism pressure and commercialization.
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.
