Infobox fields

• Legal status. "Illegal" with 1989, on Decree No. 126-89, the Ley sobre el uso indebido y tráfico ilícito de drogas y sustancias psicotrópicas. The decree is cited to the International Labour Organization's NATLEX record, which gives its number, title and date.
• Enforcement reads "Prohibited". It no longer adds "no licensed sector documented": the field is stored as data, and an absence is not an enforcement level.

Sources

• Decree No. 126-89. The text of the law has not been read. The copy hosted by the Organization of American States redirects without resolving, and no other copy has been found, so the penalty scales given in secondary sources are not repeated on the page.
• ACE Seeds. The line's description, its comparisons with lowland Colombian and old Mexican material, and the year 2015 for the vendor's own preservation work are the vendor's statements, as recorded on ACE-HND-UNK-0120150001. No independent characterisation of Honduran cannabis has been found.

Statements removed and why

• "The wiki documents one Honduran accession" and "The one Honduran line the wiki holds": statements about the wiki's holdings.
• That this is "the only line in the vendor's pure and stabilised section for which it gives a year for its own preservation work": it rests on what the vendor's other listings do not say, which the one listing cited cannot show.
• That the line "exists because a seed vendor chose to keep it": an inference no source makes.

Open questions

• Conservation status. Whether a Honduran landrace population survives in the ground is not answered by any source found.
• History is a section stub. No reliable source on the history of cannabis in Honduras has been found: no date of introduction, no colonial or twentieth-century documentation, no ethnobotanical account.
• Geography, Demographics, Agriculture and Cultivation are section stubs. No source consulted names a cannabis growing region in Honduras or describes who grows or uses cannabis there, and the accession gives no department, site, farmer or cultivation detail.
• Trade and commerce is a section stub. Honduras is heavily documented as a transit country for cocaine moving north; nothing traceable in that literature concerns cannabis, and the section should not be filled from it.
