INTRODUCTION

Cannabis and Hemp are the Same Plant

Cannabis sativa L., a single species with three subspecies, C. sativa subsp. sativa, C. sativa subsp. indica, C. sativa subsp. ruderalis, is one of the most fascinating plants in the world, with thousands of cultivars including what has been known as the drug cultivar of marijuana and the field crop known as hemp. Marijuana is not a botanical term, but rather a slang or popularized vernacular of Spanish-Mexican origin indicating that the cannabis plant or product that is being referenced is a drug variety. Any Cannabis sativa L. subspecies, and its cultivars, may have psychoactive properties due to higher THCA/THC content which may be referenced as marijuanaeven official government institutions continue to use this slang or popular vernacular. Hemp, on the other hand references any Cannabis sativa L. subspecies cultivar that is selected for fiber and food production and for low THCA/THC content and/or higher CBDA/CBD content.

Marijuana, Cannabis, Hemp, Reefer, MaryJane, Indian Hemp, Ganja, The Devils Cabbagetheyre all the same plant. The classical medical text of the Middle Ages, Physica, authored by Hildegard von Bingen, both a saint and physician, describes hemp as a medicinal drug plant to be used topically and internallyand its psychoactive effects are noted in regard to a warning about its administration.

XI. HEMP Hemp [hauff] is warm and grows where the air is neither very hot nor very cold, just as its nature is. Its seed is sound, and it is healthy for healthy people to eat it. It is openly gentle and useful in their stomach since it somewhat takes away the mucus. It is able to be digested easily; it diminishes the bad humors and makes the good humors strong. But nevertheless, whoever is weak in the head and has a vacant mind, if that person will have eaten hemp, it easily makes the person suffer pain somewhat in his or her head. However, whoever is sound in the head and has a full mind, it does not harm. Whoever is seriously ill, it also makes that person suffer pain somewhat in the stomach. However, whoever is only moderately ill, it does not cause pain when eaten.

However, let whoever has a cold stomach cook hemp in water, squeeze out the water, wrap it in a cloth, and then place the hot cloth often over the stomach. This comforts the person and restores that place. Also, whoever has a vacant mind, if the person will have eaten hemp, it causes pain somewhat in the head; but it does not cause pain in a sound head and full brain. Also, the cloth made from the hemp heals ulcers and weeping wounds because the heat in the hemp has been tempered.

Under modern hemp regulation here in the United States, hemp is any cannabis plant producing any amount of CBD, but less than 0.3% THC.nonintoxicating cultivars of hemp contain varying amounts of CBDA/CBD depending on many factors, such as genetics, growing environment, and growing technique like the selection of female to male plants.

Cannabis Anatomy 101

Cannabis sativa and subspecies are dioecious, that is, they have both female and male flowers that occur separately. Male plants typically grow faster and have thick and vigorous stems especially suited to fiber production. And while they contain less in the way of cannabinoid production of either CBD or THC, they do contain cannabinoids and can also be harvested for this purposealthough this is not particularly practical or desirable. Female cannabis plants, especially when males are removed from the crop, produce prolific flowers rich in cannabinoid and terpene content.

CBD and THC are the two cannabinoids that are best known. But there are actually more than a hundred cannabinoids that have been identified, along with dozens of terpenes, and these produce the variety
