Humans have co-evolved with cannabis for at least 12,000 years....We have changed cannabis and cannabis has changed us. Our ancestors have bred cannabis for hundreds of generations. Today, hemp seeds’ protein profile and essential fatty acid profile perfectly match humans’ nutritional requirements. The cannabinoid profile of hemp has been bred to suit many demands, from medicine to social use. The origins of agriculture and civilization itself are linked to cannabis, and all archaeologists agree that cannabis was grown by our first ancestors to begin farming in Asia.
Then why, one may ask, is it illegal?
Cannabis prohibition has always been about money, power and the
centralization of economic and political control. Hemp fuel and fiber
are inexpensive to make and naturally decentralized. Small groups of
people created the marijuana myth so they could profit from the
expensive, capital intensive petrochemical alternatives that dominate
our political process and economy today.
