An Indica-type cannabis landrace accession newly collected directly in the Helmand region of southern Afghanistan from winter 2022 harvest.

Seeds were re-tested in summer 2025 and are showing good germination rates (c. 80%).

Plants exhibit semidwarf architecture and Indica-type leaflets.

Most cannabis cultivation in this province is recent and emerged around 2008 following intensive eradication campaigns implemented by Governor Atta Muhammad Nur across the traditional northern centre of charas production, Balkh Province.
