West Bengal (পশ্চিমবঙ্গ, Pashchimbanga) is a state in eastern India, bordering Bangladesh to the east, Nepal and Bhutan to the north, and the Indian states of Sikkim, Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha. The state extends from the Himalayan foothills in the north to the Bay of Bengal in the south, encompassing three of the wiki's documented growing regions: the Eastern Himalayas, The Dooars and the North Bengal Plains. It is the most extensively surveyed Indian state on the wiki, with all current Indian accessions originating from the 2025 WEB01 expedition across its northern districts.citation needed

Geography

West Bengal spans roughly 88,752 km² across three principal topographic zones: the Eastern Himalayan ranges of Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts in the far north, the alluvial Terai and Dooars foothills along the Bhutan frontier, and the Gangetic deltaic plain extending south to the Sundarbans. The state's documented cannabis populations are concentrated in the northern districts — Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar and Cooch Behar — spanning all three of the state's growing regions.citation needed
