About Oaxacan Highland

Named for the South Central Mexican state where it grew indigenously, Oaxacan Highland is a sativa landrace strain. In the 1970s, this variety of cannabis enjoyed great popularity in the United States, thanks to relatively porous borders and a lax domestic policy, prior to the so-called War on Drugs instigated by Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. With its trippy effects and distinctive flowers, Oaxacan Highland has become legendary in the days since its introduction. Its THC content has been measured at between 15% and 23%.

Actual flowers of Oaxacan Highland may be unrecognizable to consumers of modern commercially-cultivated and harvested cannabis. When trimmed and cured, these flowers appear less like blossoms and more like wispy, elongated ferns. The long and skinny leaves are not naturally inclined to adhere to one another, instead spiraling loosely outward from their central stems. These leaves are typically a vivid kelly green, streaked with brown; sometimes, phenotypes of this variety also have high concentrations of the pigment anthocyanin, which results in patches of deep purple if cold weather occurs late in the growing process. A dusting of white trichomes and curly red pistils cap off these eye-catching flowers.
