Few recent eBay finds. I ran up the bids but didn’t win sadly. Photos are from the mid to late 90s. Is 25 / 30 years vintage? In plant years it’s gotta be

Do they have any seeds stored?

With modern cell culture technology maybe there are some miracles possible...
Many of those herbarium specimens have seeded buds at least. And the samples are (or they should be) held in climate-controlled conditions.

They probably have a collection of seeds somewhere too, just not catalogued officially.

Many of the museums of natural history do have seeds. Your local ones probably do too. If your country was a (dirty) colonizing power, it's even more probable.

One of our local museums have some hundred year old seeds from India, kept in a glass container - those were obtained through a pharmaceutical research laboratory, so you know it's medical grade ganja:

Speaking of ganja - here's some Assam ganja from the year 1884, kept in the Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Leiden, Netherlands):

Another one:

Some South African dagga, too (from the year 1959):

And held in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - some pre-Soviet Afghan - collected from Baharak, Badakhshan province, North-East Afghanistan, 1965:

And as you can see, those last two samples were misidentified initially - they were updated, and moved from C. ruderalis to C. sativa. subsp. indica in 1977.

Nowadays these would be classified as C. sativa subsp. indica var. afghanica.

And now C. ruderalis is Cannabis sativa subsp. sativa var. spontanea, the wild-type European hemp (according to McPartland & Small, 2020).

That was the welcome gift when we arrived in the village with our guide. It was free. At that time, it was the largest amount of Weed that my friend and I had ever seen. The small plant that grows there,is in the village square, where the men sit in the evenings and enjoy the beautiful view.

The nice lady asked us for a cigarette and watched with amusement as we smoked weed in a dug hole. Does anyone else know that kind of smoking weed? Basically, we smoked a mountain pipe, the whole Himalayas actually.In the last picture you can see the effect of good Himalayan weed. Being stupid, young and stoned, we didn't take any seeds with us. We had two weeks to smoke everything, it was Fun,kinda like a Hotbox, we didn't leave the hotel room, but we managed it.
