Mazar i Sharif
Mazar i Sharif is the Afghani indica landrace from the region around Mazar-e Sharif in northern Afghanistan, a cornerstone lineage in the global indica family tree and a foundational genetic for nearly every modern hash-leaning cultivar. Rarely shows up unmixed on modern menus.
Aroma is dry earth and pressed hashish with a spicy pine backbone, the canonical Hindu Kush mountain range profile. Myrcene and caryophyllene lead, with CBD often reading higher than modern hybrids. THC sits moderate by 2026 hype standards, but the depth of the body experience is what made Mazar lineages famous. A historical benchmark for adults 21+ exploring landrace indica heritage, occasionally surfaced through heritage seed libraries.
