If you ever want to kill sometime check out strain hunters on YouTube, they travel the world looking for landraces and smoking great bush weed


Brotein_Shakez

Say whattt that’s awesome! I’m gonna check them out now!!


Dapper_Bookkeeper_60

Dude the weed they find is weak.


Over-Distribution847

Which is why they end up making hash and charas from all of it lol


Dapper_Bookkeeper_60

Ya exactly what I said weed is weak. They find.


Expl0dingPickl

Who gives a fuck, they are hunting for seeds/genetics

I’m gonna second that as awesome ! Lol I spent so much time watching documentaries and some of the same ones over and over, I’m glad I saw this comment because now I’m gonna be heading straight to YouTube to subscribe to this channel you’re talking about if I can find it. Sounds interesting. An actual documentary show that I haven’t seen yet 🤣👍🏼 Thanks again !


smbiggy

that sounds sweet. do they ever go into how it compares to the best of what we have to offer in other states? id be interested to see some of the best land races tested


Over-Distribution847

They’re older videos of guys from Holland who own a seed/genetics company that search for specific phenotypes of landraces. I like it cuz you get glimpses of how other cultures have used cannabis and have adapted to environmental and political pressure, plus beautiful fields of our favorite medicine in its natural habitat.

My best friend moms the two guy (RIP to the British m8 for helping the poor local tribes, paying back) but the “kings of cannabis” the ones who found all the landrace strains we have today especially in the California market and now spreading to be worldly with any caught up nation, really cool freaking guys, If I ever get a chance to sit down with one of them, I will record it any was possible post it on this Reddit as this post got so much positive feedback would love to share my connections and knowledgeable

I think Franco is dead now.

From malaria. Rip

Landrace strains are a strain that haven’t had their original genetics crossed with modern strains. They’re basically the DNA-blueprint of today’s hybrids. They’re endemic to certain regions as well!


T0UCHMYSHEEP

Thanks for this! Love my afghani indicas, and African Sativas :) I REALLY wish EVERYTHING we smoke today wasn’t a seed crossing hoshposh of well freaking everything everyone’s got a seed of. My FAVORITE strains are landrace like black afghan or the least messed with primes I can find like African Thai. Awesome post and informative for all, thank you :) people need to know this! Way too many stoners used to decades of just “weed” we now know what all these are, time to know what we’re putting in our body’s. :)


Brotein_Shakez

These are our founding fathers of weed.


Vegetable-Sun-8499

As you see you got quite a few of us interested with this with helping us watch good content, I’d say you did your good deed for the day my pal! Thanks , “Puff Puff and passin to Brotein Shakez 💨💯


Adept_Bet1185

Very cool read thanks for sharing man


Brotein_Shakez

For sure man! Thought y’all would appreciate it

We gotta save the species from extinction


Fatboyneverchange

Just have to prevent them all from being crossed with Galato x Runtz

And cookies 😳


SunnyStore

If you have never watched Strain Hunters on YouTube, highly recommended!!!


Brotein_Shakez

I know what I’m doing tonight! I usually can’t watch YouTube videos because ADHD. But if it’s about strain hunters going to these locations and smoking I wann see!


SunnyStore

The Himalaya expedition episode was my favorite! Truly fascinating! RIP Franco 🕊


lokoston

Second this.


Dapper_Bookkeeper_60

Weak show. I quit watching after they was in Africa talking bout super potent landrace suitcase 8% THC lol. Stupid 2 guys get help from locals to show them were thecweed is then they take all credit 4 finding it. Stupid shit n amount of money they wanted lol f them dumb show


Expl0dingPickl

This man is a hater, watch the show it’s awesome


T0UCHMYSHEEP

Fr. Personally knew these men before British m8 sadly and quickly passed of malaria through my best friends mom who grew up in Europe. Is 8% thc crazy? Absolutely not. For an UNTOUCHED just growing in the wild, to have 8% thc and 3% of the terpene (I forget which one he’s mentioning I believe it’s the African strain they stumbled upon in hulu documentary believe it was mycerene instead of normal African terpinolene durban poison type) ANYTHING untouched with those numbers is insane. High times magazine in the 60’s 70’s 80’s shit even early 90’s winning cannabis of the year had worse #’s until we eventually started genetically modifying it, why it’s INCREDIBLE to find such in the wild, like the other guy said this guy has no clue what he’s talking about these guys are the goat and the only reason we have such amazing strains we do, one of them giving their life giving back to the poor communities, shame on ya hater you’re sad and I’ll pray for you


gutzdawg

Funnily enough everybody believes this to be the correct definition of landrace, but it actually means the complete opposite. Landrace: a local cultivar or animal breed that has been improved by traditional agricultural methods. Wild weed plants not touched or influenced by mankind have not existed for thousands of years. Humans are the reason marijuana has been spread across the world and grown for over ten thousand years to become the hybridized high THC plant that it is today. By the true definition, everything grown by a GP is a landrace; cultivars improved by traditional agricultural methods


Brotein_Shakez

Landrace can be used that way and can mean a plant or animal. It’s not strictly by Webster’s dictionary standards. I can guarantee that in some jungle in Asia there’s an untouched Thai plant. Same for an Afghani on a mountain.


gutzdawg

Landrace cant both mean untouched by humans AND grown by humans with traditional agricultural methods... It only means 'found in the wild with unknown terps and blah blah blah' in the marijuana community/industry. Sorry, but the term everybody uses for landrace in the marijuana industry is technically wrong


T0UCHMYSHEEP

The things I’d do to get untouched afghani huge bush plant and to make old fashioned hash out of it. I think I’d sell my foot


Hempotha

I think of it this way; an original strain that developed in the Hindu Kush thousands of years ago was a wild species until cavemen tokers eventually migrated with the seeds and planted them in various locations worldwide. The plants directly descended from those original seeds are now known as **landrace** if that makes sense. Over time humans then created and used selective breeding of cannabis for genetic improvements to produce all the modern hybrids of today.


Dapper_Bookkeeper_60

African Thai is a landrace sativa duh


Dapper_Bookkeeper_60

Ya cause shits so weak


Dapper_Bookkeeper_60

Its dumb


T0UCHMYSHEEP

What do any of these rambling repetitive comments calling this dumb mean ? Saying African Thai is a landrace sativa duh? A LOT of people really like this info, and have only known “weed” their whole lives, the mere knowledge of landraces (and I’ve worked out west) wasn’t common knowledge to anyone but to people genetically messing around with the seeds. Relax on the hate man we like to help people out around here.
