EAT IT, WEAR IT, BUT DON'T SMOKE IT

Cannabis sativa L. subspecies sativa variety sativa sounds like some kind of futuristic space-weed, but you wouldn't want to smoke it. That's actually the specific variety of hemp grown legally in Europe, Canada, China and elsewhere around the world for food, fuel, and fiber. Industrial hemp contains only trace amounts of THC (0.3 percent by Canadian standards which means you'd have to ingest a whole field of the stuff in one sitting to get anywhere near the effect found in one joint of today's high-grade grass.

A TALE OF TWO GANJAS

By the time humans discovered how to get high, cannabis had already seperated into two easily distinguishable lines, with sativas growing wild in almost all equatorial regions of the globe, and indicas thriving in Southern Asia and the Indian subcontinent. In each case, the plants were eventually discovered, recognized, cultivated, and bred for their desired characteristics --sativas for straight smoking, and indicas for making hashish and kif.

Thank you High Times for the words of wisdom.
