Cannabis origins and first crosses

Cannabis has a long history dating back to the first cultivations thousands of years ago. The plant originated in Central Asia, where it was used for healing purposes and spiritual rituals. Over time, cannabis spread via trade routes to the Middle East, Africa and finally to Europe and America. The early crosses that laid the foundations for many of today’s varieties are particularly exciting. Classics such as Haze or Afghani form the basis for numerous hybrids that we know today.

From landraces to modern strains

The first landraces – pure, unmodified varieties from regions such as Afghanistan, Thailand or Colombia – still characterize the genetics of modern strains today. With the advent of crossbreeding in the 1970s and 1980s, legendary families such as Haze, Skunk and Kush emerged. These basic lines have been combined again and again to optimize certain effects, aromas and THC levels. In this way, breeders around the world developed a variety that makes it possible to meet specific medical and therapeutic needs.

Today’s growers, producers and variety
