Best Cannabis Seeds To Grow in 2024

Okay, our Indian readers may be wondering, ‘why are we talking about this? Weed is not even legal in India.’ First of all, fair point. Second, the names of some of these strains are kind of fun to hear and say. All kidding aside, though, cannabis is nothing new on the Indian subcontinent. 

The seeds may now be the forte of producers like Barney’s Farm, Rocket Seeds, Seed Supreme, and others, but cannabis has a long and storied tradition in Indian medicine, particularly in the Ayurveda, where it is called “Vijaya.” 

It has been used for healing properties such as pain relief, nausea and vomiting, neurological disorders, and mental health. India has started to recognize these benefits, with states like Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh allowing hemp cultivation for medicinal purposes. 

In Bengaluru, you will find the Vedi Wellness Center, an example of a medical cannabis clinic that prescribes cannabis-infused tablets for wellness and health. That’s not to mention the economic opportunities it could open up. So, without further ado, what are people growing?
