Lebanese

Lebanese is the landrace sativa lineage from the Bekaa Valley, the historic terroir that built the world's hashish trade for generations before modern North American breeding shifted the center of gravity. Rarely shows up unmixed in modern menus, but heritage seed libraries and a small handful of California cultivators have brought it back into circulation.

Aroma is dry earth, hashish spice, and a faint herbal pine, the unmistakable Bekaa profile that every modern hash-rosin run is chasing in stylized form. Caryophyllene and myrcene lead, lining up with the grounded but elevated feel some users describe. THC tends to read lower than modern hybrids, and CBD often clocks above 1%, which is part of why hash makers prize the lineage. A historical benchmark for adults 21+ exploring the roots of cannabis culture.
