Beldiya Cannabis: More Chemically Stable Than Imported Strains
The Stability of Beldiya: A Promising Cannabis Cultivar in Morocco A recent study conducted in Morocco has revealed that the traditional local cannabis cultivar known as Beldiya exhibits remarkable chemical stability compared to four imported hybrid strains. This discovery could have significant implications for the medical and industrial use of cannabis in the region, especially given the country’s recent legalization of cannabis for therapeutic and commercial purposes. The research, which spanned three years from 2014 to 2016, focused on analyzing the phytocannabinoid profiles of five Cannabis sativa L. cultivars grown under identical environmental conditions in central-northern Morocco. The study aimed to understand how different strains respond to similar growing conditions and how their chemical compositions vary over time. Researchers examined one traditional variety, Beldiya, alongside four exotic hybrids: Avocat, Khardala, Mexicana, and Critical Plus. Using advanced analytic...
