Caput bonae Spei hodiernum (1719)
The Caput bonae Spei hodiernum ("The Present State of the Cape of Good Hope") is a description of the Cape Colony and the Khoikhoi people by Peter Kolb (1675–1726), a German astronomer and naturalist who spent nearly a decade at the Cape of Good Hope from 1705 to 1713. First published as a folio in Nürnberg in 1719, the work was translated into Dutch, English and French, and reissued in an abridged German edition in 1745. It was for several decades the principal European source on the Cape and its indigenous inhabitants.
Chapter XVI of the first part, on food and drink (Nahrungs-Mittel), contains the earliest detailed European account of cannabis use among the Khoikhoi, including a description of the plant they call Dacha, its effects, its preparation mixed with tobacco and its role as a travel provision. Chapter XVII, on childbirth, records the use of Dacha in obstetric medicine and contains the statement that the Khoikhoi used Dacha before tobacco was known to them, placing cannabis use at the Cape before Dutch settlement in 1652. read more →

Featured Varieties
🟡 Vulnerable • Central Thailand
Legendary sativa from Thailand's central plains, known for soaring cerebral effects and traditional bamboo stick curing. Facing 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.
🔴 Critical • 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.
