What is Cannabis?

Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) is one of humanity's oldest cultivated plants. Archaeological evidence places its use in China more than 10,000 years ago, initially for fibre and food before its psychoactive and medicinal properties were widely recognised.

Today, cannabis is understood through its three primary species — Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis — each producing distinct chemical profiles dominated by cannabinoids such as THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC is responsible for the well-known psychoactive effect, while CBD has attracted enormous scientific interest for its non-intoxicating therapeutic potential.

Modern cannabis breeding has produced thousands of hybrid strains, each engineered or selected for specific cannabinoid ratios, terpene profiles, growth characteristics, and yield. Our strain database documents the most important and popular of these — from legendary classics like OG Kush and Northern Lights to cutting-edge modern cultivars like Runtz and Gelato.
