Babylon

Babylon is a rare landrace indica strain sourced from the ancient province of Babylon in Iraq. This strain was collected by an American soldier stationed in Iraq in 2004 during the war, making it a unique piece of cannabis history. The seeds were collected from plants growing near the Euphrates River, likely descended from Turkish or Iranian genetics that had naturalized in the region over generations. The strain represents one of the few documented examples of Middle Eastern landrace cannabis genetics and has been kept pure since its collection. The plants were found growing in what appeared to be cultivated crops, suggesting they were part of traditional regional cultivation practices.

This indica-dominant landrace exhibits typical characteristics of strains that evolved in harsh climatic conditions, having adapted to the specific latitude of 32° North at an elevation of 34 meters above sea level. The strain shows the resilience and unique chemical profile typical of landrace varieties, which have developed naturally over centuries without human hybridization. Babylon represents authentic genetics from one of the world's oldest cannabis cultivation regions, potentially connecting modern users to thousands of years of cannabis cultivation history in Mesopotamia.
