Cannabis Wellness Without the Guesswork: Red Roots Trading Company’s Indigenous-Made Remedies

Wellness, Red Roots Style

Here at Red Roots Trading Company, we believe that cannabis wellness shouldn’t feel like a gamble. No questionable dosages. No coughing fits. No “my friend made these brownies and now I can’t feel my legs” situations. Just pure, precise, and effective remedies, Indigenous-made, lab-tested, and delivered right to your door.

We started in 2023 as the first Indigenous trading post in Ottawa on our unceded Algonquin territory. At our peak, we had four bustling storefronts. Now, we’ve traded brick-and-mortar for something even better: same-day, one-hour delivery within 30 km of Ottawa's city centre, plus Canada-wide shipping in three days or less.
 

And yes, we’re open 24/7, 365 days a year, no matter what. Federal holiday? Blizzard? Cousin’s wedding? We’re still here excited to help you get what you're seeking.

Who Wellness Products Are For (and Who They’re Not For)

Our wellness line isn’t about chasing a weekend high, it’s about managing real symptoms with confidence. These products are for:

- People living with chronic pain or illness

- Patients recovering from injury or surgery

- Folks who want cannabis without smoke, vapor, sugar, or uncertainty

- Those looking for reliable, repeatable doses every single time

If you’ve ever wished for cannabis without having to guess the strength or sit through a coughing fit, this is your aisle.

Meet the Lineup: Your Symptom-Soothing Dream Team

THC Tinctures

Best for: Pain relief, appetite stimulation, deep relaxation
 

If you need stronger symptom control or want the euphoric lift THC can bring, this is your go-to. Fast-acting, discreet, and predictable; perfect for evening relief or days when pain just won’t quit.

CBD Tinctures

Best for: Anxiety, inflammation, daytime pain relief
 

CBD is all about calm without the high. Great for staying functional and focused while still taking the edge off pain or stress. Perfect for those who want the benefits of cannabis without the buzz.

CBG Tinctures

Best for: Focus, mood support, gut health
 

Known as the “mother cannabinoid,” CBG is gaining fans for its uplifting, clear-headed effects and potential benefits for digestion, inflammation, and even eye health. If CBD isn’t quite cutting it, CBG might be the missing puzzle piece.

CBN Tinctures

Best for: Sleep, nighttime relaxation
 

CBN is often called the “sleepy cannabinoid,” and for good reason. It’s ideal for easing into deep, restful slumber. If counting sheep isn’t working, this is the bottle you want on your nightstand.

1:1 THC & CBD Suppositories

Best for: Discreet, efficient relief without swallowing or smoking
 

Perfect for folks who can’t take pills or edibles and don’t want to inhale. Available in vaginal and rectal forms, these deliver powerful, balanced relief right where it’s needed most.

1:1 Pain Roll-On

Best for: On-the-go joint and muscle relief
 

Roll it on like a magic marker for sore spots. Absorbs quickly and starts working fast, no sticky mess.

1:1 Pain Salve

Best for: Stubborn, localized aches
 

A thicker formula for massaging into joints or problem areas. Great for arthritis, repetitive strain injuries, and lingering soreness.

1:1 Pain Cream

Best for: All-over body relief with a smooth finish
 

Lighter than a salve but still powerful, spreads easily for larger surface areas like backs, shoulders, and legs.

1:1 Bath Bombs

Best for: Full-body relaxation and skin-soothing benefits
 

Drop one in the tub, soak, and let the cannabinoids work through your skin while you melt into the water. Great for stress relief, cramps, and post-workout recovery.

RSO / Rick Simpson Oil (Phoenix Tears)

Best for: Strong, concentrated medicinal use
 

Highly potent and versatile. Can be taken orally, applied topically, or added to food. Known for its serious symptom management potential, especially for chronic pain and long-term conditions.

Myth-Busting: Wellness Product Edition

💡 Myth #1: “RSO is only for people with serious illness.”

Truth: While RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) is famously linked to cancer treatments, it’s also used by many people for chronic pain, inflammation, and general wellness. You don’t have to be in a medical crisis to benefit from its potency, but you do have to respect its strength. Start small!

💡 Myth #2: “Suppositories are… weird.”

Truth: We get it, it’s not the first thing people think of when they picture cannabis use. But in the medical world, suppositories are a highly respected, extremely effective way to deliver medicine. They bypass the digestive system, provide fast relief, and are perfect for people who can’t or don’t want to swallow or inhale anything.

💡 Myth #3: “Topicals won’t actually work.”

Truth: When applied to the skin, cannabinoids don’t typically enter the bloodstream, but they do interact with local cannabinoid receptors to help reduce inflammation, pain, and soreness right where you apply them. Think of it as a targeted strike team for your aches.

💡 Myth #4: “CBD is the ‘weak’ cannabinoid.”

Truth: CBD may not get you high, but “weak” isn’t in its vocabulary. Its anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and pain-relieving properties make it a powerhouse for daily wellness, and for some conditions, it’s more useful than THC.

💡 Myth #5: “Tinctures are just for seniors.”

Truth: Sure, tinctures are popular with older users for their ease of dosing, but they’re just as useful for younger people who want discreet, precise, smoke-free cannabis. It’s convenience, not age, that makes tinctures a winner.

Final Word

Whether you’re managing chronic pain, easing the symptoms of a long-term illness, or just want cannabis you can trust every single time, our wellness line is here for you.

From tinctures to topicals to RSO, Red Roots Trading Company has your back. And your joints. And your bathtub.
