I had a friend some time back who'd been in the Soviet army, assigned to somewhere in the east, and he told me about a smokeable plant with psychotropic effects that grew wild there. To this day I don't know if he was talking about some kind of Siberian "ditch weed" or if there's just some unknown-to-the-west plant out there on the steppe...

- duozerk 10y agoPossibly Cannabis ruderalis ('wild cannabis'): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_ruderalis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_ruderalis. It's endemic in central Russia.
- 13of40 10y agoI think that must be Latin for "ditch weed". The latter being the wild, low potency marijuana you can find growing by the road in places like Idaho... Edit: Nope, apparently it's its own species.
- celticninja 10y agoI think that a characteristic of ruderalis is that it's autoflowering. All other types are dependent on photoperiod to induce flowering of the plant. Ruderalis varieties usually flower after x days from germination.
