ABC (Australian Bastard Cannabis)

Australian Bastard Cannabis (ABC) is a unique cannabis mutation originally discovered as a wild hemp strain naturally growing throughout Australia, sometimes called the ABC strain or Australian Bastard Cannabis. Beyond its peculiar appearance, Australian Bastard Cannabis is a strain that holds a certain mystique among cannabis enthusiasts, with the fact that this mutation naturally emerged in the Australian wilderness leading many to speculate about its evolution. ABC has an unremarkable THC content at around 5% in its pure form. Analytics conducted on hybrid plants showed relatively high levels of terpenes Myrcene, Limonene, and surprisingly high levels of Terpinolene. Its flavor profile is described as peppery and reminiscent of a strong Sativa, with a strong lime aroma and earthy accents. Historically, ABC was known more for its odd looks than for knockout potency, but contemporary breeding projects have substantially closed that gap. By integrating ABC's recessive leaf trait into high-performing cultivars, breeders have reported test results reaching mid-teens to low-20s THC, depending on the cross. The strain is now both a novelty and a serious breeding tool, bridging stealth genetics with mainstream quality.
