Ceylon​

​

Sri Lanka, historically known as Ceylon, is an island of immense biodiversity and deep cultural heritage, lying at the crossroads of the Indian Ocean. From the misty peaks of the central highlands to the tropical lowland forests and sun-drenched coastal plains, this island nation is home to a remarkable array of cannabis landraces that have flourished in its diverse climates for generations.

​

Cannabis has been intertwined with Sri Lankan history for centuries, deeply rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, spiritual traditions, and cultural practices. Revered in ancient texts for its therapeutic properties, it has been used to restore balance in the body and mind, while also playing a role in traditional healing, religious rituals, and daily life. Beyond its medicinal and spiritual significance, cannabis has long been valued as a fiber crop and a source of sustenance in rural communities.

​

Our Sri Lankan collection brings together rare and distinctive cannabis genetics from across the island, each variety reflecting the unique environments and traditions of the region. These landraces stand as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the cannabis plant, shaped by centuries of natural and cultural evolution.

​

As you explore our Ceylon collection, you’ll uncover a wealth of extraordinary cannabis genetics, each with its own story to tell. From the ancient forests of the Wet Zone to the arid plains of the north, these landraces capture the spirit of Sri Lanka’s vibrant landscapes and rich heritage.

​

Join us on a journey to the island of Ceylon and experience the rare and exceptional cannabis genetics of our Sri Lankan collection.
