In Part II of our Western Dooars survey, we document further observations of feral and cultivated cannabis, detail local cultivation methods and gather insights from growers across the Himalayan foothills

Surveying the Western Dooars and Kalimpong Range, we documented feral and domesticate cannabis populations, collected seed accessions and recorded cultivation practices across villages and foothill zones. Field Report #3 details our findings from Washabari, Bagrakote, Mal Bazaar, Satkaya, Sipchu, Paren, Upper Paren, Suruk, Todey and Chisang.

Field Report #2 surveys landrace cannabis in Mekliganj, Haldibari, Fulkardabri and the Tin Bigha corridor. Covers seed collections, feral and cultivated populations and insights into traditional cannabis cultivation in India’s Bengal plains.
