Few have said it better...
Throughout the ages, marihuana has been extolled as one of man's greatest benefactors and cursed as one of his greatest scourges. Marihuana is undoubtedly a herb that has been many things to many people.
Armies and navies have used it to make war, men and women to make love. Hunters and fishermen have snared the most ferocious creatures, from the tiger to the shark, in its herculean weave. Fashion designers have dressed the most elegant women in its supple knit. Hangmen have snapped the necks of thieves and murderers with its fiber. Obstetricians have eased the pain of childbirth with it's leaves. Farmers have crushed its seeds and used the oil within to light their lamps. Mourners have thrown its seeds into blazing fires and have had their sorrow transformed into blissful ecstasy by the fumes that filled the air.
Marihuana has been known by many names: hemp, hashish, dagga, bhang, loco weed, grass- the list is endless. Formally christened Cannabis Sativa in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus, marihuana is one on nature's hardiest specimens. It needs little care to thrive. One need not talk to it, sing to it, or play soothing tranquil Brahms lullabies to coax it to grow. It is as vigorous as a weed. It's ubiquitous. It flourishes under nearly every possible climatic condition.
It sprouts
from the earth not meekly, not cautiously in suspense of where it is and
what it may find, but defiantly, arrogantly, confident that whatever the
conditions ot has the stamina to survive."
A HEMP Plans to have a full History of the cannabis Plant through the ages. This History will be complete and include all information available to us at this time regarding all aspects of the plant.
A HEMP plant to take an open mind to Cannabis and ALL of it's many uses, we believe humanity was given the whole plant for a reason, not just High THC Hybrids but also Lower THC hemp varieties.
This History will make clear the absurdity of the current laws Prohibiting Cannabis uses from Hemp to Hash.
