Modern hybrids have complex parental histories. As we have more scientific research about this plant and its components, we can create varieties to target specific medicinal, mental, and physiological effects. With legalization, hybridization has advanced breeders now target for specific properties. This was a counter measure to increased repression during pothibition. The first wave of hybrids focused on manipulating cannabis to flourish indoors under lights. It is only since the 1960s that breeders have been breeding the landraces to combine and modify their characteristics. Varieties look different, thrive under different conditions, and produce vastly different profiles of cannabinoids and terpenes. Plants evolve, with each generation better adapted to its new homeland or growing conditions. This increase in diversity has been going on for thousands of years. The second influence was the environment where plants adapted to latitude and climate. First, human pressure when growers selected the most vigorous plants that served their purpose. ![]() The plant adapted to its new environment in two ways. Until recently most of the genetic flow was one way. Cannabis originated in the Himalayan foothills and is now found all over the world. ![]()
