A landrace accession newly collected directly from the Helmand region of southern Afghanistan, winter 2022 harvest.

Most cannabis cultivation in this province is recent and emerged around 2008 following intensive eradication campaigns implemented by Governor Abdullah Abdullah across the traditional northern centre of charas production, Balkh Province.

The most popular landrace among Afghan farmers is the Mazari type, with perhaps 75% of farmers favouring this strain for its large yields, so there is a high likelihood of this accession being representative of the strain we offer as Mazar-i-Sharif or Mazar-i-Sharif #2.

Repeatedly tested for viability, these seeds show close to 100% viability.
