Strains of Landrace Cannabis 

For the last decade or so, cannabis went from being a drug that people thought was illicit, to an industry that’s booming, making billions of dollars. In the past, the consumption, holding onto, and even the growth of cannabis and hemp actually led to jail time, and major consequences. As legalization continues to move forward, things are finally getting better. Over 36 states are allowing medical usage of cannabis, and 16 of them offering adult use that’s legalized, and more and more dispensaries are making packaged items that are slowly the new normal. 

With legality continuing to be a big part of this, there is now new changes to the industry. Cannabis infusion, especially in food and drink, different cosmetics and beauty products, you don’t have to just light a bowl and smoke some flower. 

The industry progress is quite remarkable, and there is a lot of different strains are different from the original landrace kinds that were out there. While all cannabis can be traced back to the Hindu area of Pakistan and Afghanistan, they’ve made major changes, especially from migration and trading, and t’s become a super versatile item to grow, and it’s adapted to many different climates too, with the cannabis landrace strains being some of the first cannabis to be grown in multiple parts of our world. 

Sativa origins 

This is something that has multiple meanings, and it’s one that’s known for the energizing, uplifting, and highs that are creative in a sense. 

This is also something that’s known for looking thin and tall, and it’s got wispy leaves. It’s traced back to southern climates that are warm, since the more sunshine, the temperatures that are warmer, and summers which are longer are helping to achieve the proper growth for a plant. 

Indica Origins 

Indica is something that isn’t seen around the globe, but it was found particularly in the mountainous regions of the middle east, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan. It can be said though that the origins of all cannabis come from indica strains here. 

This one comes with leaves which are broad, a stature which is short, and flowers that are dense. It’s something that still actually is related to the place it got cultivated from, and today’s names still pay homage. 

Terroir 

This is a recent kind of strain of marijuana that’s recently shown up. It’s pretty much related to the Durban poison, Thai, and the Acapulco gold strains, and this is something that’s changed because of the different practices and environments that are specific to these locations and are influenced by the characteristics that are unique to this, and there is a certain appearance along with chemistry that’s particular to this. 

This is something that’s kind of similar to the wines that you see, and this is basically similar to how alcohol strains have different characteristics, such as French wines having certain tastes. 

Do landrace strains still exist? 

Well, it wasn’t until people started mixing the Indica sativa strains together that hybrids came around. However, by creating this, it caused a plant to hold both of these strains, and it basically got rid of those characteristics that people don’t want from this. 

In the current growing climate, hybrids are more of a norm than ever before. Rather than purely sativa or purely indica, a lot of consumers prefer the hybrid from the landrace types instead of just one that’s pure, and this is definitely something that’s cool. It does vary, and a lot of people like the options, but do note that you have a lot to choose from. 

What Wax Pens Are 

Wax pens are something that’s great for vaporizing different concentrates of cannabis and is great for different types of usages. 

While it does take a bit of time to learn, if you’re someone who loves to use cannabis, and is willing to learn, this is a good way to vape it, without needing to invest in a dab rig. Learning how to utilize these and why you should consider them is really cool. It’s important to note though, if you’re going to buy one of these, always get them from dispensaries’. There are a lot of black marker pens that are dangerous to consume. 

What they are and How they Work 

Basically, they’re vapes that involve wax, and you consume this, or other types of concentrate. It can also include different dabs as well, and you don’t need a bong or anything super complex to use these. 

They work similar to other types of vapes. 

They each contain the following: 

  • A battery to recharge 
  • A chamber or otherwise called an atomizer to put the wax in 
  • A coil or thing to heat up your concentrate 
  • The mouthpiece that allows you to inhale that vapor 

When you turn this on, or if you inhale this, the heating part of this starts to work, vaporizing those concentrates, and it goes directly to the mouthpiece. You inhale, and you get the cannabinoids there.

They do get hot though, hotter than a normal vape pen, and you should get into the habit of cleaning these so they stay useful and functional. 

How you can use these 

It’s pretty simple, but once you get it, you’ll probably want to just use this. The first step is to first and foremost, ensure that the battery is charged priority to using this.

Once this is charged up, take the pen cap off, open up your atomizer where it concentrates though. Put the wax in there but give it some room. Don’t just stuff it up. Put the chamber back, place the cap on top of it to close this. Press the power button, or inhale into this.

When you inhale, you might have to also press a button, but usually, once you’ve inhaled, you hold that directly into the long area, and then you let this out.  Put the cap back on top of this so you don’t have any concentration leaking 

There you have it. Simple, right? One thing you have to make sure that you do, is to clean this up often, simply because it can get really gross, and sometimes, mold and bacteria get on there. If you don’t want that, which is actually dangerous, make sure that the concentrates are safe for you to put your lips on, and are clean enough for that too. Alcohol, a swag of cotton, and some war water is really all that’s needed in order to clean one of these guys. 

The pros and Cons 

This is something that’s a little bit tricky in order to provide upkeep that’s regular, and the correct functionality, but it also offers portable and flexible ways for concentrates. 

Compared to say having a full-on dab rig and using a blowtorch though, this is so much easier, and it usually involves less trial and error.
