3 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CANNABIS - VENEZUELA - LECHERIA

Known as ganjah, since, kripy, marijuana, holy flower or simply Cannabis.

• Cannabis - or marijuana, as it is popularly known - is a genus of plants that possess psychoactive properties. It has been used for a long time and by different cultures, although it was in the decade of the 60 that had its greatest splendor, with the hippie movement. At present, it is a banned product in most of the world, although there are many countries or states where it has been legalized. I propose to know today 7 curiosities about cannabis that will surely amaze you.

1 - The following data can cause hilarity: scientists have found that in some Italian cities there are very high concentrations of cannabis in the air. Rome, Bologna, Turin, Florence and Milan stand out among all. Maybe one would expect this at a concert, but in European cities? In any case, the levels do not affect human health.

2 - In ancient China, the plant, known as Ma, and its uses as food, fuel, clothing and medicine date back to 6000 BC. However, the oldest existing reference to medical marijuana dates back to 2737 BC when the Red Emperor Shen Nung wrote the Classic of the roots and herbs of the Divine Farmer, a listing of the medicinal properties of different herbs, among them the Ma, to relieve rheumatism and gout pain. For the year 2 d.C. Hua Tuo is remembered for having used Ma-yo (the female plant) and red wine as an anesthetic while performing painful surgeries, including organ grafts and incisions in the back.

3 - The uses of the fiber of the plant itself are numerous. It can be transformed into rope, paper, clothes, canvases, consumed as a food, and its seeds can be used for the generation of fuel. It is also good for the planet. A study conducted by McGill University in California estimates that 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 million acres of industrial hemp would take care of all our oil needs. In addition, unlike tobacco, which destroys the soil after each harvest, the planting of marijuana actually improves it. It is legal in Uruguay, Peru, India, and even in Iran where it is grown for food / fuel. Legalization would generate thousands of jobs, reduce hunger in the world, reduce greenhouse gases and help people cope with the pain of AIDS, glaucoma and cancer. It turns out that the "trip" of the plant, is only an added advantage.

• How they see is not just a plant or a "drug", as there are records that cannabis has been used since 6000 BC with medicinal and recreational uses.

• Do not get carried away by the bad comments that can be found daily in the stupid and blind society of today, explore the world and have your own convictions of the world around you, feel free to experiment to have a solid base at the time of say "Yes, I use cannabis for these reasons ..." or they can also argue "I do not like to smoke because of this, this and this" Do not let yourselves be influenced by comments unrelated to your experiences.

Go out and explore the world.
