Champasak General Population 2024 is a landrace cannabis accession from Champasak District in Champasak Province, Laos, listed as Champasak in the seed catalogue of The Real Seed Company (RSC). RSC classifies it as a Lao-Thai ganja landrace from the Mekong region of southern Laos. The Real Seed Company lists the line, currently out of stock, on its Kwik Seeds site (checked 17 October 2026).

Geography

RSC reports that the landrace is grown by a Lao household in the district of Champasak, directly across the Mekong from Isan in northeast Thailand. It gives a latitude of about 15° N.

Collection Details

The listing gives the sourcing as The Real Seed Company, Laos (2024). The Kwik Seeds listing of the same line, on the shop RSC calls its other site, calls the accession newly collected. Neither listing names the household or its village.

In August 2026 Angus gave Champasak seed to the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System. The system holds the seed as accession G 34097 at its Plant Genetic Resources Unit in Geneva, New York.

Cultivation Details

RSC gives the purpose as ganja, which it glosses as sinsemilla or semi-sensi. It gives the regional growing period as six months from seed to harvest and lists greenhouse or outdoor growing.

RSC states that the listing's photograph is a customer's, showing the landrace indoors at four weeks under an 11/13 light cycle.

Botanical Characteristics

RSC gives a height of 2 to 4 metres and a Sativa architecture. It describes the cannabis landraces of this region as classic Sativas, narrow-leafleted with resinous buds and compelling scents. Versions of the listing from July 2024 to April 2025 classified the line as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica var. indica.

Aroma

RSC describes powerful tropical aromas.

Effects

RSC describes a strong and euphoric high and calls the line feel-good cannabis, "powerful, but in a nice way". It describes the landraces of the region as famous for potent, uplifting highs.

Notes

RSC writes that aficionados unfamiliar with old-school Sativas will understand the legendary reputation of "Thai Stick" ganja once they have experienced the effect of a real Lao landrace.
