Australian Bastard Cannabis (ABC)

Australian Bastard Cannabis (ABC) is a rare and unique landrace strain that originated in the wild landscapes of Australia, first documented in the 1970s. This strain represents one of cannabis's most distinctive mutations, featuring drastically altered leaf morphology that makes it virtually unrecognizable as cannabis. Instead of the typical serrated fan leaves, ABC produces small, glossy, rounded leaflets that resemble parsley or succulent plants, making it an exceptional stealth strain for discrete cultivation. The mutation is believed to have developed as an adaptation to Australia's harsh environmental conditions, possibly arising from cannabis plants that became genetically isolated or through natural hybridization with introduced strains. While pure ABC landrace plants typically contain low THC levels (around 5%), modern breeding programs have successfully crossed ABC genetics with high-potency strains, creating hybrids that maintain the distinctive leaf structure while achieving THC levels of 14-20%. The strain exhibits remarkable hardiness and drought resistance due to its thick, waxy leaves and compact growth structure.
