Cannabis history in Uganda:

Uganda has a rich cannabis heritage dating back centuries. In regions like Nkuringo, cannabis—locally known as “njaga” or “bangi”—has been cultivated for spiritual, medicinal, and cultural purposes. These ancestral strains are thought to have evolved naturally in the African Great Lakes region, shaped by local climate and selective growing by tribal farmers. As a result, Ugandan landraces like Nkuringo Gold carry deep genetic roots and express traits rarely found in modern hybrids.

With a 20-week flowering cycle, this variety rewards patient growers with exceptional quality. Its uplifting and energetic high reflects its African sativa lineage—ideal for daytime use, creative pursuits, and spiritual exploration.

This strain remains  untouched by hybridization, offering a truly authentic landrace experience. Whether you’re a preservationist, breeder, or simply a connoisseur seeking something unique, Nkuringo Gold is a timeless piece of cannabis heritage.
