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.

Baul
The Bauls (বাউল) are a heterogeneous group of initiatic singer-practitioners of Bengal, spanning the Indian state of West Bengal and present-day Bangladesh, whose sādhanā (esoteric practice) makes consistent use of cannabis. Recruited from both Hindu and Muslim communities and overlapping in personnel and practice with the Bengali Fakir orbit, Bauls divide broadly into ascetic and householder lines, with the term itself denoting both a class of person and an idiom of song.{{rp|1–7}}
Cannabis figures in Baul life on three registers. Smoked ganja (also referred to in Bengali contexts as siddhi) is a routine accompaniment to gatherings, song sessions and conversation about practice; ingested cannabis preparations appear in ritual offerings; and within the internal physiology that bartamān-panthī initiates use to talk about the body, ganja is explicitly classified as "cooling" and ūrdhva-gāmī (upward-moving), in contrast to alcohol, which is "heating" and downward-moving.{{rp|209, fn. 11}} This classification places cannabis on the same side of the body economy as the bodily substances Bauls seek to retain, conserve and redirect through sādhanā.
Bauls inhabit the same Ganga-Brahmaputra plains and Bengal floodplains where the regional ganja landrace populations are grown, and akhṛā (Baul ashrams) and shrines associated with figures such as Lalon continue to function as nodes of ritual cannabis consumption. read more →
