Mediterranean Cannabis Landraces
Mediterranean Cannabis Landraces refer to cannabis populations that evolved across Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East over centuries of cultivation and natural adaptation. These landraces—including Moroccan, Greek, Turkish, and Lebanese lines—developed distinct cannabinoid and terpene profiles shaped by climate, soil, and human selection rather than modern breeding programs. Lineage records frequently report that Mediterranean landraces often express moderate to high CBD alongside THC, with earthy, spiced, and herbal aromatic signatures. The plant structures of these populations commonly range from medium-height bushy forms to taller, more open canopies adapted to warm, dry conditions. Modern breeders working in landrace preservation and international genetics often source these lines to document genetic diversity and develop stable hybrid crosses. Understanding Mediterra

Breeders value Mediterranean landraces for their genetic stability, climate resilience, and terpene diversity. These populations serve as foundation stock for developing disease-resistant hybrids and cannabinoid-balanced cultivars suited to warm-season outdoor and greenhouse production.
