Our favourite landraces
Chosen by our team for their unique qualities
“[Four traditional drug taxa] represent critically endangered reservoirs of germplasm … in urgent need of conservation.”
“[Current hemp and drug cultivars] diverged from an ancestral gene pool currently represented by feral plants and landraces in China.”
“[South and Central Asian drug Cannabis domesticates] have undergone widespread introgressive hybridization in the past 50 years. This has obliterated differences between hybridized ‘Sativa’ and ‘Indica’ currently available.”

So we got togetherand we decided to do something about it...
Go to the source ourselves. Sit with the families who keep the old lines, buy seed at a fair price and document everything we can: place, elevation, harvest, the person who kept it, how they respect the plant and nourish it... Or not...
We've been doing this for a while now...

The documentation
Want the full record?
landrace.wiki is an independent encyclopaedia of landrace cannabis, and every accession here is mirrored there with more in depth information and references.
Ethnogeography for anarchists
WTF is a Zomia anyway?
Zomia is a massif stretching from the highlands of Southeast Asia to the Himalayas. These hills and these people grow some of the oldest and most isolated landrace cannabis populations on earth. It's where we work, do our research and seed collecting.
Practical
You probably have questions
How do I pay?
Bank transfer, PayPal, Western Union or crypto.
Where do you ship?
Worldwide. Seed law differs by country, so check yours before you order.
Is the packaging discreet?
Yes. A plain padded envelope with only your name and address on it, no company name and nothing about the contents. The seeds are packed so they do not get crushed on the way.
What is an accession?
An accession is the record of a collection event from a given landrace population. Each accession has a unique number, to differentiate it from other accessions.
