Spanish Landrace Cannabis?

Cannabis landraces have been a topic of heated debate among cannabis enthusiasts for years. As an avid cannabis cultivator, I find myself constantly discussing the origins and evolution of landraces.

Take Spain for example, which lies on the border of the sativa and indica line. For hundreds, if not thousands, of years, plants have been traveling through Spain in both directions. Similarly, Morocco is only a stone’s throw away from my doorstep. Over generations, these plants were crossed and lost, with a certain percentage thriving and growing wild in the mountains and on the plains.

After a considerable amount of time, these hybrids have evolved into their own unique landraces, perfectly suited to the Mediterranean climate and environment. I believe that this happens all over the world, with different environments and plants adapting to their surroundings.

Naming strains has become a recent commercial phenomenon, with growers naming and marketing their strains for profit. However, in reality, many of these strains are simply hybrids that have evolved into their own unique landrace over time.

Despite their initial background relations, there must come a point where they are a landrace in their own right. Just as not all people of African descent identify as African, not all landraces can be categorized as their original ancestor.

What are your thoughts on the evolution of cannabis landraces? Do you believe that they eventually become their own unique strains? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!
