The landrace behind a Middle Eastern hash-making tradition
The Middle East's reputation for traditional hash making was not built on luck; it was built on genetics. Lebanese, the landrace this video covers, comes from a region where the plant was worked into a craft tradition over centuries, and the strain's resin and character made it a foundation of that trade. The video above tells that history and what the strain itself really is.

A craft tradition needs its genetics
Every craft tradition has a raw material at its centre, and in this case the raw material is a living line. The character the region's makers depended on came from the plant itself, adapted over generations to its home ground. That character cannot be improvised; it has to be carried forward in living form.
Carrying lines forward is exactly the work of CloneBuzzz Genetics. Verified living clones keep a strain's true character intact from grower to grower, so that the genetics behind a historic tradition like this one stay available to the future rather than surviving only in the retelling.
