A lot of the founding fathers of our country smoked sweet hemp.

Yeah, and Columbus’ sails on his ship, the U.S. Constitution, Jesus’ sandals. I’ve heard all that. However, I’m a Cheech and Chong fan too! “DAVE’S NOT HERE!!”

They smoked industrial hemp, often called Cannabis Sativa, a variant so low in THC and high in CBD which blocks the marijuana effects, that one cannot get high from it.

Only Cannabis high in THC is suitable for Marijuana. The strain sometimes called Cannabis Indica is grown for pot production.

“Botanically, the genus Cannabis is composed of several variants. Although there has been a long-standing debate among taxonomists about how to classify these variants into species, applied plant breeders generally embrace a biochemical method to classify variants along utilitarian lines. Cannabis is the only plant genus that contains the unique class of molecular compounds called cannabinoids. Many cannabinoids have been identified, but two preponderate: THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient of Cannabis, and CBD, which is an antipsychoactive ingredient. One type of Cannabis is high in the psychoactive cannabinoid, THC, and low in the antipsychoactive cannabinoid, CBD. This type is popularly known as marijuana. Another type is high in CBD and low in THC. Variants of this type are called industrial hemp.”
