MALAWI GOLD

Malawi is small landlocked country in southeastern Africa, nicknamed “The Warm Heart of Africa.” For those familiar with Malawi Gold, a cannabis variety cultivated there for centuries, it’s easy to imagine that the exceptional quality of their landrace cannabis inspired this sobriquet. Malawi Gold is of significant medicinal interest because it produces a portion of its THC as its rarer cousin: THCV. THCV is currently being studied for potential treatment for a range of liver diseases, and also for treating inflammation-related obesity. In Malawi, the variety is grown across the country and is the nation’s third biggest export.
