The first contact with the plant began in the eastern region of Asia and its domestication began almost simultaneously with that of wheat. Already from the beginning it was used as medicine, raw material or consumed for pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In more tropical areas, thanks to a warm climate and human selection in cultivation, cannabis variants developed higher levels of THC and CBD over the years. On the other hand, in harsher and more rustic climates, the marijuana plant became a key component of the cotton or linen-like clothing we know today as \"hemp\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">But it wasn\u2019t until the 20th century, in the middle of prohibition, that modern cannabis breeding was born. The main reason was to be able to grow the plant in its most psychoactive form in climates where it normally wouldn\u2019t have grown. The introduction of \u201cindica\u201d genetics, with a short flowering time and smaller size than \u201csativas,\u201d brought with it an exponential increase in the variety of genetics. If you want to know a bit more about how these two types differ, we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/en\/types-of-cannabis-indica-sativa-and-hybrids-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is how this practice ended up in what we know today, with genetics that are better adapted to a specific climate or that are able to grow indoors with artificial light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/49601138_2104478112945623_1040079004220414928_n-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"buds of different colors\" class=\"wp-image-2496\" width=\"634\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/49601138_2104478112945623_1040079004220414928_n-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/49601138_2104478112945623_1040079004220414928_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/49601138_2104478112945623_1040079004220414928_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/49601138_2104478112945623_1040079004220414928_n-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/49601138_2104478112945623_1040079004220414928_n-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/49601138_2104478112945623_1040079004220414928_n.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><figcaption class=\"translation-block\"><sub><em>Shapes<\/em> and colors.

New genetics are constantly being developed around the world; just stop by our club <a href=\"https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/en\/at-bcn-kush-youll-feel-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barcelona Kush<\/a> to see a sample of the huge diversity we\u2019ve reached. Among the many thousands of cannabis strains out there, we think a few select families are worth mentioning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\"><strong>Kush<\/strong>: obviously, we could not fail to mention the family that gives our club its name. These strains come from landrace varieties from Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, and northwestern India. Over time they reached the West, largely thanks to traveling hippie groups, something very common in the '60s. From this family we can mention some hybrid strains that are very famous today, such as \u201cOG Kush\u201d or \u201cBubble Kush.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\"><strong>Haze:<\/strong> just mentioning a few strains like \u201cSilver Haze,\u201d \u201cAmnesia,\u201d \u201c1024,\u201d or \u201cChocolate Haze\u201d shows how popular this family is. With a powerful cerebral and energetic effect, it is highly sought after and easy to find in any social club. Although we do not know exactly where it originated, we know it was the Haze brothers (growers from Santa Cruz, California) who popularized this family through experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Variedades_en_BCN_Kush\"><\/span><strong>Varieties in BCN Kush<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Whether <a href=\"https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/en\/what-is-cannabis-consumption-without-tobacco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">with tobacco or without<\/a>, indica or sativa, flower or hash, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll find what you\u2019re looking for at <a href=\"https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BCN Kush<\/a>.
