Mediterranean Cannabis
Mediterranean Cannabis refers to cannabis populations historically cultivated across Mediterranean regions, including Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. These landraces developed under consistent warm, dry climates with specific photoperiod patterns, resulting in distinct morphological and chemical profiles. Breeders classify Mediterranean strains by their adaptation to long growing seasons, relatively compact plant structure, and terpene profiles often featuring limonene and pinene. Historical trade routes distributed Mediterranean genetics widely, influencing modern breeding stock globally. Documentation of these landraces remains important for understanding genetic diversity and regional cultivation heritage.

Breeders working with Mediterranean genetics often select for heat tolerance, drought resilience, and photoperiod adaptation when developing cultivars for warm climates. These landraces provide genetic material for outcrosses aimed at combining Mediterranean robustness with other desired traits.
