A single families beautiful #Amampondo #sativa #landrace field ...

Along South Africa remotest coastline live the Amampondo people who are famed for there independence and self resilience

The Umzimvubu is one of South Africa last wild rivers that has not be damned or diverted or even properly explored. Deep up the hundreds of valleys in the interior Amampondo farmers cultivate a unique African land race.

Undoubtably this is sub Saharan Africa largest cannabis producing region.

What is incredible about the landrace and obvious from the video is the unprecedented drought resistance of the plant.

Steep terrain and ridges to the south create a rain shadow within the valley system of unusually low rain fall. This is evident in the dry valley bush veld and prevelance of euphorbia. The micro climate in the valley is so dry that villages cannot cultivate food crops yet the landrace thrives.

The landrace is rich in CBD , THCa and CBC and has demonstrated unrivaled anti cancer potential in a recent study.
