Canada Day was celebrated on July 1st.... Cannabis Day will be October 17 this year in Canada, and then every day after. Forever and ever amen.
This day was always hidden in the five segments of the Maple Leaf.
Cannabis ruderalis is traditionally used in Russian and Mongolian folk medicine, especially for uses in treating depression. Because C. ruderalis is among the lowest THC producing biotypes of Cannabis, C. ruderalis is rarely used for recreational purposes.
In modern use, C. ruderalis has been crossed with Bedrocan strains to produce the strain Bediol for patients with medical prescriptions. C. sativa and C. indica strains bred with ruderalis plants typically exhibit the "autoflowering" phenotype exhibited by the C. ruderalis lineage, meaning that they flower when the plant reaches a certain maturity (usually ten weeks from seed) as opposed to flowering in accordance with the daily light schedules. In addition to this, due to the typically higher concentration of cannabidiol (CBD), ruderalis plants are valuable for patients looking to treat anxiety or epilepsy. C. ruderalis is also being used as a form of cancer treatment as well as sclerosis and loss of appetite.
