• Leafly lists 6,822 cannabis strains. Though ‘strains’ or more aptly cultivars are often not reflective of the actual underlying chemical nature of the plant [source]. They are ultimately not very meaningful in general.

    Based on this database, Europe has 104 varieties of hemp registered.

      It’s also not really fair because potatos are one of the easiest plants to monocrop with how you can propagate them without seeds.
