Find all the cannabis strains documented on Newsweed: history, genetics, aromas, effects and flavours. From A to Z or by species and breeder.
A cannabis strain belongs to one of four major families: Sativa (native to equatorial regions, has stimulating effects), Indica (native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, has relaxing effects), Ruderalis (an automatically flowering subspecies, from which autoflowering varieties originated) and the countless hybrids that combine these genetics. This database lists 195 documented varieties, organized by species and breeder, along with their history, aromas, and effects.
| Family | Origin | Dominant Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Sativa | Equatorial regions (Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, Africa) | Intellectual, stimulating |
| Indica | Mountainous regions of Central Asia (Afghanistan, Nepal, Morocco) | Physical, relaxing |
| Ruderalis | Russia, Central Europe | Mild (used for autoflowering) |
| Hybrid | Crossing of the above genotypes | Varies depending on the parental lineage |
There are several thousand cannabis strains worldwide, resulting from crossbreeding carried out by hundreds of breeders. Newsweed currently documents 195 of the best-known and most sought-after strains, categorized by species and breeder.
The choice depends mainly on three criteria: the desired effect (relaxing for an Indica, stimulating for a Sativa, balanced for a hybrid), the desired flavor profile, and the variety’s cannabinoid content. The filters by species allow you to navigate directly to the family that matches your preferences.
A breeder is a breeder or seed bank that specializes in creating and stabilizing new cannabis strains through genetic crossbreeding. Sensi Seeds, Royal Queen Seeds, and Dinafem are among the best-known examples.
Each variety is classified according to its dominant type (Sativa, Indica, Hybrid, or CBD) and its original breeder, when known. The database can be browsed alphabetically or filtered directly by type or breeder.
