Balochistan, bordering Afghanistan and Iran, has a legendary cannabis culture and long-standing tradition of progressive cultivation practices. Its mid-latitude climate (approximately 30ºN) allows local landraces like Quetta Purple to develop natural resilience, extended flowering periods (12–14 weeks), and strong cannabinoid profiles.

Local farmers often cross these regional strains with imported varieties from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, producing shorter, compact plants with higher cannabinoid and terpene content, ideal for crafting high-quality, flavorful hashish.
