Landrace.wiki
The open database for landrace cannabis populations, their genetics and the traditional knowledge that sustains them.
Landrace.wiki is the comprehensive database for traditional cannabis genetics and their conservation status. Browse our collection of documented varieties, track conservation efforts, and contribute to preserving genetic diversity before it's lost forever.
⚠️ Conservation Alert: We've documented 288 landrace varieties globally. Current status: 🟢 127 Stable • 🟡 89 Vulnerable • 🟠 43 Endangered • 🔴 21 Critical • ⚫ 8 Lost Forever

Balkhi General Population 2019 is a landrace cannabis accession collected at point of origin by the Real Seed Company in Balkh, northern Afghanistan in 2019.
Cikitsasarasangraha
The Cikitsāsārasaṅgrahaḥ (Sanskrit चिकित्सासारसंग्रहः, "Compendium of the Essence of Treatment"), also known as the Vaṅgasena Saṃhitā, is a Sanskrit Ayurvedic medical compendium composed in Bengal in the 12th century CE by Vaṅgasena, son of Gadādhara, of Kantikapura. It is counted among the eight complete sangraha (epitome) texts of medieval Indian medicine, alongside the Aṣṭāṅgasaṅgraha of Vāgbhaṭa, the Śārṅgadhara Saṃhitā and the Bhāvaprakāśa.
The work is one of the earliest Indian medical compendia to record cannabis, under the Sanskrit name vijayā (विजया), as a named ingredient in standardised polyherbal formulations. The principal cannabis preparation, Vijayā Cūrṇa, is a twenty-eight ingredient compound described in the chapter on haemorrhoids; additional vijayā preparations appear in the chapters on fevers, sprue and indigestion.
The standard printed Sanskrit edition is the 1891 Calcutta recension prepared by the Bengali pandit Jīvānanda Vidyāsāgara Bhaṭṭāchārya, which runs to 1052 pages and is the source documented on this page. It is in the public domain and freely available through the Internet Archive. 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.
