Jalpaiguri General Population 2025 #7 is a domesticate landrace cannabis accession collected by Éloïse and Isabella of the Zomia Collective in West Bengal, India.
Geography
Jalpaiguri town is located in Jalpaiguri District, West Bengal, India, within the Jalpaiguri landrace cannabis growing area of the North Bengal Plains growing region.
Administratively, the area belongs to Jalpaiguri Sadar sub-district in the Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal state.
Collection Details
This accession was documented by Isabella & Éloïse in June 2025. [citation needed] A total of 65 seeds were sifted from compression cured flower purchased by Éloïse from a local dealer in Jalpaiguri town.
The flowers, processed as 'chaap' sticks, were sourced from a landrace cannabis population of 1000+ plants grown near Jalpaiguri town. It is unknown whether this accession is still actively cultivated at the point of origin. The cultivation system type is unknown.
Processing
The flowers from this accession were processed using compression curing methods, formed into low quality 'chaap' sticks. This traditional processing method involves compressing partially dried cannabis material using a hydraulic press. Often, mustard oil is used to coat the cannabis in an effort to prevent mould growth. In some cases, psychoactive adulterants are added to the cannabis material during the pressing phase. These include but are not limited to locally available cheap pharmaceuticals. [citation needed]
