"First" named strain?

[Burger Boss]

Hey all, I was "buzzing" along the other evening, mind going in 10 directions,
(you know the feeling, LOL), when suddenly I wondered:> What was the first "named" cannabis strain, and when, by who???
If anyone has a clue, post-up! Good luck & good grow.......BB

I want to add a related question as to what the oldest pure bred strain available today is

I think the first named strain was called " Da Shit " . Suppodedly named by the big guy himself. GOD.
The second strain might have been called " Holy Moses ". Still not sure.

OK, a little bump in hope that SOMEONE might have a little more definitive answer.......BB

and thanks JD, good additional ?

Im sure the first strain names were the landrace strains named after where they grew naturally

I know the original Skunk is pretty damn old, dates back to the 1970s in Humbolt county California I believe. Northern Lights is also fairly old.

I took the question as, which ones were the oldest man made hybrids.

when they actually first classified cannabis as a plant then the first "strains" would be sativa, indica and later ruderalis im guessing? might be making no sense but hey thats what the good stuff does to ya lol

the chinese have been smoking cannabis medicinally since 2727 B.C. and they call it "dà má"

Lol, I guess realistically I would go with "da ma", as opposed to "da shit", as offered above.......BB

Good try......actualy sativa, indica and ruderallis are a "species" of cannabis, and there are "strains" of each species. Thank you for playing.......BB
