Look around, i bet u find many wild grow hemp, but many also will be childs of industrial hemp, with low thc content. For an irony we got nice sativas here, they got huge potential for future, so far they very low on thc.

Really so there is nothing really high in thc that naturally grows there. Is that climate related?

Probably a product of breeding, Hemp was used for many reasons since generations and centuries, mainly to produce ropes, linen type of cloth for sailing ships, trousers etc. Plus the seeds for feeding animals, birds and to make hemp oil to cook or to grease machineries... Back in the 19th century growers knew about the potential for smoking. They used it as a replacement for tobacco called Knaster or Knatter, because of the popping sound of seeds inside the pipe exploding.. Some will have produced some stash esp. for smoking. Buds probably but not without seeds, so low grade, Plus it was a low THC ruderalis in the first place. Made to grow large and strong with resistance vs all kinds of plant diseases.

I doubt there was a cannabis smokers culture. People started smoking not that long ago from Columbus days with tobacco from Cuba etc.

yeah well tokage said it ^^

I would say too that in this part of the world you "might" find some nice ruderalis landraces, that would be some nice seeds to get hands on :)

If you ever manage to get your hands on some keep us updated ;)

Good luck in your search

Agricultural Sativas:

I've heard that the thc content increases year after year autoaticly until it reaches 8%. Thats what the german hemp farmers say about their plants... they use hybrids (feminized males? is this the right terminus?) with a thc content of 0,2% and they turn back to dioecious plants (with a thc content of about 8%)...

The closest thing I've got to a pure ruderalis is a couple Ruderalis Indica seeds from Sensi Seeds.

I have a friend living in Hungary, he says there is plenty of wild stuff growing near him but it's not very good.

I am pretty sure that the smoking of tobacco and even the smoking of cannabis had their beginnings well before Columbus' Exploration.  I have heard it said many times that the Chinese had it at least 5000 B.C.  And it appears that ancient Egypt had it as well.  Re: my current Icon:

About us

Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
