TRUTHFUL INTRODUCTION TO CANNABIS  ( HEMP, MARIJUANA )

(Revised: Dec. 2021)


There are 3 Cannabis plant species; Cannabis Ruderalis, Cannabis Sativa, and Cannabis Indica. And there are many hybrids. For hundreds of years they were known as hemp (in the English language). They were harvested in different countries, for thousands of years, for different reasons. Their seeds, and oil from their seeds, are very nutritious. Hemp (also known as industrial hemp) is now legal to cultivate in the USA (after decades of prohibition), and it is being used to make ropes, textiles, paper, biodegradable plastics and foams. Industrial hemp is cannabis that has less than 0.3 % of Delta-9 THC (The cannabinoid that makes people high). During World War II, the U.S. government made a propaganda film named "Hemp for Victory" to encourage farmers to grow hemp. However it made no mention that hemp was also known as marijuana (a demonizing name made popular during the anti-cannabis campaign that began after alcohol prohibition ended).

The medicinal properties of this wonderful and miraculous plant are still being studied. However, there is already overwhelming evidence of the many medicinal properties. In this web page I am providing some of the evidence. In fact, I believe that no other plant (or human produced chemical) has as many medical patents as cannabis does.

However, if you do not believe me, then read some of the overwhelming evidence that I am presenting here. And what better evidence, than medical patents, medical studies, and medical journal publications. 

THE EVIDENCE

Here is a link to a page dedicated to some of the many medical patents, where some of the cannabinoids (such as CBD, THC, CBG, and others) are used to treat different illnesses:
