Lebanese Landrace
Lebanese Landrace encompasses cannabis populations that developed organically across the Bekaa Valley and surrounding mountainous regions of Lebanon over centuries of cultivation. These plants adapted to the region's Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and cool winters with notable elevation variation. Landrace specimens from Lebanon are commonly associated with sativa-dominant morphology, though growing conditions and informal selection practices created significant phenotypic diversity across different valleys and microclimates. Historical documentation indicates these populations were widely cultivated for fiber, seed, and cannabinoid production before modern prohibition policies. Breeders and geneticists study Lebanese Landrace genetics to understand climate adaptation, terpene expression in arid regions, and the genetic foundations of Mediterranean-adapted canna

Lebanese Landrace genetics serve as source material for understanding natural sativa development in high-altitude, resource-limited environments. Modern breeding programs incorporate these lineages to explore drought tolerance, late-flowering phenotypes, and terpene profiles associated with Eastern Mediterranean cultivation practices.
