Cannabis is said to be generally discovered in central Asia, but as time passed, many explorers would carry the plant to different locations and bred them there, giving rise to a new species with different shapes and sizes, and these varieties were called landrace strains. Horticulturists further cross-bred the plant with different strains and got many different strains with distinguishing properties.
