Nederwiet is a common Dutch name for a "skunk" variation of marijuana bred in the Netherlands1. It is known for its high potency,2 with concentrations of THC running in the tens of percents.345 The name is derived from the Dutch words for The Netherlands, Nederland, and for weed, wiet (pronounced with a short 'ee').4

History

In the early 80s Nederwiet was a poor mans weed with a very low THC concentration (8%). In the 90s students of the Dutch University of Agriculture in Wageningen did research and increased the concentration THC in the inferior weed to around even up to 25 percent. This result was afterwards adopted by the market with a current average tendency of around 20%. 67
