Chitrali General Population 2022 is a seed accession of a cannabis landrace from Chitral, Pakistan, held by the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) as G 33696. Angus donated the seed, and the system received it on 22 August 2023.[1] The donor's note dates the collection to the winter of 2022 in Chitral District.[1]
Collection Details
The note describes Chitral as a region of the Hindu Kush long known for dry-sieved charas. Before the 1970s, it says, charas was grown on a large commercial scale in Upper Chitral, above all around the Yarkhun and Laspur valleys, and eradication campaigns have since reduced cultivation to small household plots for the growers' own use. It describes broad-leafleted plants that mostly fit the Western idea of a classic Indica, some of them well over 2 m tall. The note gives the purposes as charas, bhang and seed for food.[1]
