Respectfully I disagree. @Pots I think is a lot more correct. Using your analogy hemp is the ladyboy offspring that got left in the basement without much love. Edit: In 1533, King Henry VIII made hemp cultivation compulsory by law. For every 60 acres, farmers had to grow about 1/4 acre of flax or hemp, or else they would face a fine for breaking the law. I didn't know this, cheers for the info. Low THC monoecious cannabis seeds (aka hemp) would be cheaper to produce than well bred stablised seeds.

Are you saying a poodle is a dog, but a great dane isnt? no i'm saying a tree is a tree but all trees are different. back to hemp. in the beginning there was just the hemp plant, gardeners started to cross hemp with other plants, over the years the new plant we now call cannabis was seen to have medicinal use, cannabis has been nurtured and improved still to this day, hemp has never been changed from the beginning till now, it has never been seen to have medicinal value, hemp has many other qualities we could save the planet with hemp, paper, clothing and food in particular. I just think if you are selling medical cannabis it should only come from the cannabis plant, that just my opinion and I respect yours just accept we disagree.

elmer budd Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The way I see it with my current level of understanding is that a cannabis plant is an expression of its genes within the environment it grows in. So for example, if you take Columbian gold IBL (native strain) and grow it in northern Europe for a few generations then it will revert to what you are calling hemp. This would be only partly due to mixing with the local population, and more probably due to survival adaptation and selective pressure. This can also be seen if you get a good seed, but grow it in poor conditions - you will get what is more akin to what you call hemp because there will not be much cannabinoid content (I guess this is what you mate gave you). Humans have know for a long time the differences between unseeded females having a medical use and tall fast growing plants being fibre crops, and also have classified different subspecies at different times too, probably because there is such diversity within one plant. If I am correct and the only difference is cannabinoid content, then for the sake of clarity and accuracy I just want to use stick to one name. I prefer cannabis. Rick Simpson uses hemp. I like Rick Simpson. Please don't choose marihuana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigs Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 they're both the same plant but one was breed for fibre and seed production and the other was grown for religious/spiritual/healing/fun its only fairly recently we understand how the plant interlocks with our own ECS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between two trees and two dogs is vast, mate. The easiest way I can put this is that all dogs can interbreed, but not all trees can interbreed.
