// Definition
The concept of reintroducing genetic diversity into domesticated cannabis by incorporating wild, feral, and landrace genetics. The cannabis gene pool has narrowed significantly through decades of selective breeding for high THC. Advocates argue we need to rewild genealogy and environments to maintain genetic diversity essential for future breeding and adaptation.
// From the Episode
Discussed in the context of preserving heritage genetics. Skunkman Sam's work with Yunnan seeds (showing remarkable biodiversity — 12-13 seeds per gram for large specimens, from Vavilov collection and Chinese landrace material) exemplifies the genetic diversity still available in wild and semi-wild populations.
