5 Most Famous, Classic Types of Marijuana
- Medical cannabis is an incredibly diverse and globally popular plant. Since the marijuana plant is a subject of enthusiastic, worldwide cultivation interest, we have an almost unbelievable selection of different varieties and strains, which are the result of long-term genetic modification and breeding development.
However, regardless of how modern and freshly bred varieties you choose, for most of them, when looking into their genetic history, the same classic names of their "cannabis ancestors" appear.
These varieties, marijuana types, have irreversibly inscribed themselves into the "old school" history of cannabis breeding. From their transfer from original occurrence areas to America, Europe, and other parts of the world, members of this plant team began rewriting both cannabis and medical and (counter)cultural histories.
Marijuana Types and Original Strains
Classic or "old school" medical cannabis varieties were originally bred and propagated mainly for newly discovered, exotic taste or aroma. It was mostly not about the strength (THC content) of a given model, but rather about its uniqueness and interest. Varieties that stood out in some way, whether through intentional grower efforts or simply "by wind", began to spread.
Mixing and blending completely original landrace varieties allowed us to create today's diverse genetic cannabis base. However, this phase was preceded by entirely original breeding of primordial models like Afghani or Haze.
During this period, several models were created that are recorded in cannabis history as absolute "old school classics":
1. G13
G13 irreversibly inscribed itself among street legends during its existence. According to legends of old cannabis veterans, the CIA and FBI during the sixties embarked on collecting the strongest varieties they encountered during their raids. Then a strictly confidential cultivation operation began to clarify the marijuana threat. However, one single branch, one cutting disappeared from the laboratory, which gave birth to the G13 legend...
Even if these legends are not based on truth, G13 is a strain you definitely don't want to miss. It is a very potent, unique Indica.
