BENEFITS OF THE PLANT

Cannabis is a plant with myriad benefits, which laypeople, scientists and medical professionals have ascertained is remarkably non-toxic and which contains natural substances which have medicinal value just like any other herb, and many other plants e.g. rosemary, turmeric, aloe vera, tea tree and lemons.  All use of Cannabis is beneficial, and all parts of the plant are useful.  Cannabis is cultivated and used medicinally, industrially, spiritually, and socially by adults all over the world, in all cultures and all nations, on all continents.
