Broad Leaf Drug
Broad Leaf Drug (BLD) refers to cannabis plants exhibiting wide, expansive leaflet morphology, commonly associated with indica-dominant or Afghan/Hindu Kush lineages. The trait describes leaf blade width relative to length, typically favoring stockier plant structures and denser canopy profiles. Breeders working in this category often select for the phenotype to stabilize growth patterns in offspring. Historical cultivation records in Central Asian cannabis production frequently report broad-leaf expressions as dominant in landrace populations. This morphological classification remains relevant in modern breeding for predictability of plant architecture and resource allocation during vegetative phases.

Breeders use broad-leaf phenotypes as a marker for indica genetics and as a foundation trait when establishing photoperiod sensitivity or flowering time predictability. Selecting for or against this trait allows breeders to control canopy density and internode spacing in breeding lines.
