Wild cannabis grows in areas with warm summers, moderate rainfall, and nutrient-rich soil. Its natural habitat spans Central and South Asia, spreading from the Himalayan foothills to Siberia. Over time, seeds carried by humans and animals helped it spread across continents.
Today, wild cannabis still grows in parts of North America and Eastern Europe. It often appears in abandoned farmland or near rivers, where moisture supports its growth. These plants usually contain low THC levels but play an important role in genetic diversity and hemp research.
