1972 UMS Afghanistan Af B Reproduction is a reproduction accession of Cannabis sativa grown from seed recorded as coming from Afghanistan. It is known from twenty-eight herbarium sheets gathered between 31 July and 1 August 1972 in the National Institute of Mental Health Cannabis Garden of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy, by Richard Evans Schultes, Timothy Plowman and T. E. Lockwood. The labels carry the lot code Af B, in several spellings, and most call it the second seed lot. The sheets are held in the Economic Botany Herbarium of the Harvard University Herbaria.[1]

Seed lot

Twenty-seven of the twenty-eight labels call the seed the Afghan second seed lot, with the code written Af B, af b or ad b.[1] The label of sheet 00947914 reads AF B - Afghanistan, first seed lot.[2] Nine labels add Planted 1 Aug. 1972.[1] That season the garden also grew Af A (UMS-AFG-UNK-0019720001), the first seed lot, and Af A1 (UMS-AFG-UNK-0019720001-R1), its first generation. M. W. Quimby had grown Afghan seed at the university in 1971 under the codes af-b (UMS-AFG-UNK-0019710001) and af-c17 (UMS-AFG-UNK-0019710002).

Grow-out

The garden lay on university land at University, in Lafayette County, Mississippi. The sheets of this lot carry twenty-six plant numbers, each the figure 53 followed by one or two letters for the plant.[1] In 1968 the National Institute of Mental Health offered a contract for the supply of standardised marijuana to researchers, and Norman Doorenbos, who chaired the university's Department of Pharmacognosy, won it. The university's own account of the programme says that the first experimental plot, grown that year, was sown with seed from Mexico, Panama, Southeast Asia, Korea, India, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Lebanon, and that a secured garden was built in 1969 for the first substantial crop.[3] Schultes and his co-authors later wrote that their collections and studies in the extensive Mississippi plantation and elsewhere had shown that the characters of growth habit in cannabis seemed to be genetically stable.[4]: 356

Specimens and identification

Ernest Small determined the twenty-eight sheets as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica; Harvard dates the determinations 16 February 1976 (seventeen) and 16 March 1976 (eleven).[1] Harvard files seventeen of the sheets under that name and eleven under Cannabis Linnaeus, giving the subspecies as the current name.[5]
