Marijuana’s social and legal evolution is fascinating. It has been used as medicine for thousands of years but only recently has gained popularity through the social awareness of its many benefits. 37 states have medical marijuana programs and 21 states have legalized cannabis recreationally too.
Cannabis is still a schedule I controlled substance according to the federal government, but President Biden has made some progress in that regard. Most people do not believe cannabis should exist in the same category with heroin and meth, and rightfully so.
With that being said, here are some fun facts about cannabis you may not know!
Cannabis Canvas
Did you know that canvas is derived from the cannabis plant? That’s right! A painter’s canvas is made out of hemp, which comes from the marijuana plant. Hemp is also used to make rope or fabric for clothing.
Cannabis Stunts Cancer Growth
Cancer is a qualifying condition for a medical marijuana card in the State of Louisiana and for good reason! Marijuana can actually stunt cancer growth in our bodies. Research shows that a cannabis-derived compound freezes cancer cells which prevents them from spreading.
Cannabis can also help with symptoms of chemotherapy, which is widely used for many different cancers. Many chemo patients say marijuana helps with their nausea and vomiting especially.
California Was the First State to Ban Cannabis
You heard that right! Over a century ago, California led the way for the rest of the country and banned cannabis. Things have changed since then, as California is known to be one of the best recreational marijuana states along with Colorado.
Bob Marley Was Buried With Cannabis
The legend himself requested that he be buried with a cannabis bud. He was also buried with a Bible opened to Psalms 23 and his famous red Gibson guitar. He was buried on May 21st, 1981.
When in Rome
A study conducted in Italy back in 2012 noted trace amounts of cannabis wafting through the air surrounding the Colosseum and Pantheon as well as other cities. Some other drugs including cocaine, nicotine, and caffeine, were also found in the air.
