About Oaxacan
Oaxacan cannabis comes from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, where Indigenous Mixteca and Zapotec farmers cultivated cannabis for generations. The high altitude and rich soils of the Sierra Mixteca produced a distinctive sativa with reddish-tinged calyxes. Oaxacan was famous throughout the 1960s and 70s for its sweet, spicy, and earthy aroma and its exceptionally balanced high — euphoric and uplifting without the psychedelic intensity of Panama Red or the heaviness of Colombian.

The region's Indigenous farming communities had been cultivating cannabis since its introduction to the New World in the 16th century. Oaxacan production declined in the 1980s as Mexican drug trafficking patterns shifted to large-scale Sinola production for the US market.
