We are witnessing the rapid disappearance of traditional cultivation knowledge and genetic diversity in cannabis. These landrace populations represent thousands of years of natural and human selection, containing unique genetic traits and chemical profiles. Systematic documentation and conservation efforts can serve as a bridge—preserving irreplaceable genetic heritage while supporting traditional communities and advancing our understanding of this remarkable plant.

Fulkardabri - Sujan's Selection #2 2025 is a domesticate landrace cannabis accession. This accession was documented by Isabella in July 2025. A total of 410 seeds were given to Isabella by a local cannabis grower alias 'Sujan'. The seeds come from a cultivated landrace cannabis population of 20 plants grown by Sujan near Fulkardabri village. Fulkardabri is located in Cooch Behar District, West Bengal, India, within the Mekliganj landrace cannabis growing area of the North Bengal Plains growing region.
Tantric Cannabis use in India
Tantric cannabis use in India refers to the ceremonial role of cannabis, particularly in the form of a beverage called vijaya, within the rituals of Hindu and Buddhist Tantrism. The tradition arose in approximately the seventh century AD from a convergence of Shaivite Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism, reaching its peak in medieval Bengal and the Himalayan kingdoms. Three strands of earlier Vedic tradition, the magical use of bhang, the mythology of divine poison-drinking and the practice of drug yoga, were woven together in Tantric ritual into a systematic methodology for achieving liberation (mahanirvana).
In Tantric mythology, vijaya (literally "victory") is identified with the amrita produced by the Churning of the Milk Ocean, the nectar of immortality recovered by the gods after Shiva caught the world-threatening poison in his throat. The beverage is consumed at the start of the ritual and reaches full effect approximately ninety minutes later, coinciding with the ceremony's climax. Within the literal ("left-handed") form of practice, vijaya is integrated alongside the panchamakara or "five M's" (liquor, fish, meat, parched grain and ritual intercourse), serving both as a disinhibitor against the cultural taboos that left-handed practice deliberately transgresses and as a sense-heightener directing the visualisation of specific deities. read more →
