87. The Secret History of Cannabis Strains

Episode • Aug 3, 2021 • 11m

Love a mystery? The original cannabis plants that existed in the world are from Asia, the Middle East, Central & South America and the Caribbean, and they are called Landrace strains. These strains have some amazing characteristics - for years, people have enjoyed them to relieve pain or stress, help with sleep, or just relax & laugh. And despite cannabis being illegal, someone loved the effects so much - and yes, thought they could make some money from it - that they made a really big effort to share them across the world. Landrace strains have helped create literally thousands of new hybrids. On today’s show, we’ll share the secret history behind 5 classic landrace strains: Acapulco Gold, Lamb’s Bread, Durban Poison, Thai, and Afghani.
