The history of the cannabis plant goes back thousands of years and can be found in many cultures and in medicine

The very diverse uses of hemp were known in the United States of America, as in many countries around the world, and it was used in many industries, from the textile industry to the food industry to the pharmaceutical industry. One of the founding fathers of the USA, Benjamin Franklin, obliged farmers to grow hemp on a certain portion of their land and process it. They produced so much hemp that they even used the oil from its seeds to fuel tractors. Pharmacies were full of various hemp preparations, which were mainly used to treat neuro-degenerative diseases, inflammatory conditions, loss of appetite; the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America and early dollar bills were also printed on hemp paper
