Landrace Marijuana Strains Explained

Therefore a cannabis landrace is a marijuana plant that has been geographically isolated from the possibility of cross-breeding with any other marijuana strain of a similar plant species.

There are some important reasons landrace marijuana has become popular.

• First because they're the best marijuana strains for cross-breeding to make new marijuana strains or brands.

Some of the more famous landrace cannabis strains are from Afghanistan, Africa, Brazil, India, Mexico and Thailand but that's generalizing because according to botany a plant growing from the same strain of seed, such as Jamaica Lambs Bread, for a long enough period of time, without being crossed with another strain, can be known as a landrace.
