Andhra Bhang
Also known as: Jungli
What is the Andhra Bhang strain?
Andhra Bhang is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 12.0% THC, known for its cerebral effects and earthy and floral flavor profile.
Andhra Bhang is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from Andhra Pradesh, a state situated in southeast India between the Tropic of Cancer and the equator, and is recognized as one of the oldest and most traditional marijuana strains in India. This strain represents the infamous bhang variety, also referred to as "jungli," which is widely used for making traditional bhang edibles and beverages as well as for smoking. This particular landrace sativa originates from the Bay of Bengal coastal region, where the seeds were sourced directly on location. The strain's historical significance is deeply rooted in Indian culture, where bhang has been consumed for centuries as part of Hindu traditions, particularly during festivals like Holi and Maha Shivaratri.
Physically, Andhra Bhang produces very fast-growing vigorous plants that grow horizontally as much as vertically, creating a distinctive growth pattern typical of equatorial sativas. Like other tropical strains, it demonstrates high resistance to heat, rain, mold, and pests, making it well-adapted to its native humid, tropical climate. The preservation of this landrace strain is considered invaluable, as thousands of acres of cannabis plantations and wild plants continue to be destroyed in eradication campaigns, with 650 acres destroyed in 2022 alone in efforts to make Andhra Pradesh cannabis-free.
