Cannabis Question Extra: Where Did the Cannabis Plant Come From?
Cannabis Question Extra: Where Did the Cannabis Plant Come From?
Though cannabis’s wild beginnings remain unknown, by looking at the plant’s genes, scientists can identify its closest living relative.
“Hops, which we use for beer, is the closest existing species to cannabis,” says Cornell University Emerging Crops Specialist Daniela Vergara. Plant geneticists estimate that some 28 million years ago, cannabis and hops plants diverged. Today, cannabis contains special compounds called cannabinoids that its relatives lack. Two of these compounds are THC, which results in a high, and CBD. The development of cannabinoids may have helped protect cannabis from UV light or from being eaten, though researchers aren’t yet sure.
Some ancient communities, including the Chinese, Romans, Greeks, and Indians, utilized cannabis for medicinal and industrial purposes.

Back then MARIJUANA u go to jial and now its a pass look what happens it gotten wrose more school shooting even collage and look how bad it is compareing from trafficing when the drug leader finds the way just like a devil warshippers take easy step to get away convinceing others to do while they are alive traficing drugs and getting the money.
the sound levels too variable , way too low at times .
Cannabis is one of two things; it’s either 1 species with tons of different strains or cannabis is a genus with 3 distinct species that each have tons of strain variations.
Those 3 species of cannabis are cannabis Sativa, cannabis Indica, and cannabis Ruderalis.
Cannabis Sativa is a species of cannabis originating out of Asia but they grow naturally in many countries that are close to the equator. Sativa generally look very tall with large long narrow leaves. They produce a soaring energetic active high (the I want to go outside and do stuff kind of high.
The 2nd species of cannabis is Indica which came out of Pakistan and India. Indicas look shorter with more wide leaves than Sativas.ย
And because Indicas are short, they are most often grown by legal indoor growers. And its the most common cannabis group in parts of the world where people can’t easily grow outdoors. Indicas have a high that’s heavy (couch-high, relax).
Almost all cannabis is not a genetically pure Sativa or genetically pure Indica. The overwhelming majority of cannabis is some kind of hybrid between Sativa and Indica with one being more dominant than the other one, (dominant Sativa or dominant Indica).ย
The 3rd overlooked species of cannabis is Ruderalis. Several variations of Ruderalis grow in Central North America right out in the open. They look very different from the stereotypical cannabis plant. Cannabis Ruderalis is very short, weedy, and have a very low THC content.
Ruderalis cannabis seeds are autoflower seeds or autoflowering seeds. Autoflower cannabis seeds go into flowering when they reach their flowering phase regardless of the light cycle indoor or outdoors.
Feminized autoflower seeds are popular among legal cannabis growers. Autoflowering cannabis seeds go into flowering regardless of the lighting cycle.
So due to the fact that Ruderalis plants do not rely on different light cycles, they therefore have been used as a genetic tool to create autoflowering cannabis that flowers without changing the light timing.
It’s worth noting that other groups of cannabis have been separated from the pack over the years by various experts as potentially distinct species. For example cannabis Afghanica or cannabis Kafiristanika. Those variations are interesting but the majority view and my view is that they are merely variations under one of the 3 species as opposed to distinct species themselves.

It came from nature. Everything we need comes from nature. People have been "taught",read brainwashed,into believing it’s bad or a dangerous drug. Nothing could be further from the truth.
That beautiful flower snaking up to the top of that last plant at the end was beautiful! Like a trichome covered dragon
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
You People will believe ANYFKNTHING?!?!? Lies upon more Lies…lol wake up Folk’s they almost stole ALL of it!?!?
yes stupititi that will never go away with this telling kids this is ok not ok drug will take you some others drugs and you will finish homeless
Not the best audio editing, but a good story still.
I can’t hear anything the first woman is saying. Does anyone else have that problem?
Cannabis originated in the tibetan plateau 400,000 years ago. Ancient hominid remains were found within miles from were researchers think cannabis evolved.
GOD IT CAME FROM GOD๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐๐ฏ๐
Imagine being a scientist and still growing garbage cannabis ๐คฃ
The sound kept cutting out ?
Cannabis had kept me out of a wheel chair Helps with me live my life and I can go riding om my bike no problem Thank you God Amen๐
Someone said it comes from China.
The devil hates us, any reason to break families. Cannabis: Good, government stupid, humanity lost. Legalize it now!
I wonder why a government funded and government controlled broadcasting network wants people stoned?
When ancient Mesopotamia smoked, the Greeks did not know that it was possible to smoke hemp in that way. Even in the 60s and 70s, when your cannabis was bad, you Westerners went and fetched strains from Afghanistan, India, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Iran, and the Himalayas and Hindu Kush Mountains. People from the region were the first to smoke weed
it came from ODIN
28 Million years ago?…..why, that just can’t be right….cuz our Earth is only 6000 years old, built in 6 days by some-guy-in-the-sky ….it’s ”all right there in that thar BIBLE”…..” I love the poorly educated ”
We need to legalise cannabis in the UK pretty please. It’s 2022 not 2002.
Deregulate cannabis. Let people grow their own. What is the issue? Why does it need more government regulation if you legalize it? So stupid. It is all about money.
Drugs are bad. MMkay. But Drugs also are good. I am not a dope smoker, but if there are benefits to elderly people in their 90’s plus and also earlier on 40+ to reduce pain and stop highly addictive medication for example Valium, Morphine, Codeine I strongly agree with Medical Marijuana. Wether it has the THC or not. even without THC still seems to improve the lives of individuals. It also increases the "hunger" of elderly people which is a good thing in some settings. Unfortuantly, these products get abused and also become a black market item. We will never get the true facts or availability on different drugs if the world perceives these as harmful narcotics and the black market sellers make profits which endanger lives. Legalising drugs require a BIG investment on physical and mental understanding. No two people will experience the same result.
Cannabes comes from himalaya of nepal at first nepal had legalized weed at our late mahdndra king at Kathmandu but later it was illegal.at the legal time the foreign people collected seeds of cannabis and start growing inside their own home country.
๐๐๐for all your weed, psilocybin shrooms, DMT, Lsd, MdmA ,ketamine, wock, microdosing and other psychedelics ๐๐
Cannabis is evil. It should be illegal everywhere.
Iโm almost out of Oxy. And the pharmacy is raising pricing. I need my pain bills. No Iโm in real bad pain and need my scrip refill. Pot does not work for me. I need my oxy. I do not feel good until I get my oxy. No Iโm not addicted.

aht aht aht not so fast and you heard it from The Caveman Caveman T from Connecticut CBD in this case may refer to cannabis but it is not the only source aspect to derive CBD from
as CBD in its Broader Based application can Refer to Chlorophyll Based Derivatives IE tinctures Extracts or Polymers so go read some more book that i did n’t
the
Holy Spirit just tapped me on the should and said you know this and ta da Science genius in the making so second tip when drinking teas today there is the difference of leisurely consumption
and the preparation in and at Medicinal strength based on the geometric progression of available density in saleable form or diluted and the dilution rate when drinking at medicinal strength you must use caution as with things like Valerian root which is a sedative and the source component of the synthesized medicine Valium
Get with the program and legalize it!!!
Liquor and beers so much worse tired of the double standard
Is no one gonna mention how the expert speaking we can’t even hear?
Before 1930 most medications was derived from cannabis

the word cannabis took Greeks from Babylonians. It comes from Asia and it was in the region between India and Iran that it developed into a psychoactive substance.

So, right after the end of the last ice age (after Noah’s flood) the VERY FIRST thing they saved from the apocalypse, was Cannabis.
Clothes, cordage, and a nice buzz after dinner around the fire.
Life is good again!
