Malana
North Indian cannabis landrace strain.
Malana is a sativa dominant native Himalayan cannabis variety used to make hand-rubbed charas. This legendary North Indian charas sativa grows on the high sun-drenched ridges of Himachal Pradesh in the environs of the famous village of Malana, in the Malana Nala valley,which is renowned for its top quality hand-rubbed charas. Pungently aromatic flowering tips glisten with trichomes and virtually drip with THC resin. Plants can reach a height of over 3 metres and are vigorous and prolifically productive. First-rub charas is produced from these plants with intense care, and is soft and easily molded by warm hands. Aromas are reminiscent of over-ripe fruit especially mango, with sickly sweet aromas like traditional Indian milk-based confectionery. Consumed in moderation this strain gives a bright, cerebral buzz which is very sociable and giddy; larger quantities produce a highly mind-altering psychedelic effect. When collected with care and diligence this is the Champagne of the cannabis resin market.
