This is a simple subject to explain but sometimes not easy to understand the reasons.
Cannabis-Sativa:
Cannabis Sativa is the oldest term of the plant know and has been passed down for thousands of years and some say the “Canna_Bosum” in the Bible is Cannabis. There is evidence going back to 10,000BC that shows the use of Cannabis. This term is a bit of a blanket term for all of its uses. Cannabis is a Medicinal plant, and Agricultural plant that produces food, it’s an industrial plant and of course recreational.
Cannabis is now most commonly referred to the Medicinal properties of the pant.
The first documented use of the Cannabis Sativa plant was by Emperor Shen Neng in 2737 B.C. Hemp was essential to survival in ancient China, and large amounts of land were designated solely to growing Cannabis. Up until the 20th Century, all cultures and societies needed and utilized large quantities of Cannabis to support their societies.
Marijuana:
This term is the most widely know and used in our culture today. The word “Marijuana” was invented in the early 20th century in order to make Cannabis more relatable to Mexicans and Minorities. This was done in order to gain support to pass legislation and outlaw all types of Cannabis.
However today the term Marijuana is most commonly used to describe the recreational aspect of the Cannabis plant.
The word entered English usage in the late 19th century. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known appearance of a form of the word in English is in Hubert Howe Bancroft‘s 1873 The Native Races of the Pacific States of North America.[8] Other early variants include “mariguan” (1894),[12] “marihuma” first recorded in 1905, “marihuano” in 1912, and “marahuana” in 1914.[15]
The use of “marihuana” in American English increased dramatically in the 1930s, when it was preferred as an exotic-sounding alternative name during debates on the drug’s use.[8] It has been suggested that in the United States the word was promoted by opponents of the drug, who wanted to stigmatize it with a “foreign-sounding name”.[9] The word was codified into law and became part of common American English with the passing of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.
Hemp:
Hemp is often thought of as something different then Cannabis or Marijuana. But in reality there all from the same plant. Because of the way Marijuana terminology was utilized and the Cannabis and hemp words suppressed over the past 80+ years society believes that Hemp, Marijuana, and Cannabis are exactly the same.
The Hemp word is utilized for the Industrial aspect of the Cannabis Plant since the Indian Hemp seed was spread around the world by the British Empire.
Today’s legal definition of an”Industrial” Hemp plant is a Cannabis plant with 0.3% THC content or less.
The cultivation and the cultivation of hemp has its origin in the days of ancient India and China. The scientists, linguists and archaeologists are unanimous in the opinion that the use of seeds and leaves as the staple food of inflorescences – drugs and hemp fibers for the manufacture of wicker, ropes and clothes were very common practice stretching back thousands of years. But so far, representatives of a dozen countries claim to primacy in the processing of hemp, as well as its use for agricultural purposes and directly, in everyday life.
