Cannabis has long been prized for the strong and durable fiber in its stalks, its edible and oil-rich seeds, and the psychoactive and medicinal compounds produced by its female flowers. The culturally valuable and often irreplaceable goods derived from cannabis deeply influenced the commercial, medical, ritual, and religious practices of cultures throughout the ages, and human desire for these commodities directed the evolution of the plant toward its contemporary varieties. As interest in cannabis grows and public debate over its many uses rises, this book will help us understand why humanity continues to rely on this plant and adapts it to suit our needs. 606 $aCannabis 606 $aCannabis$xEvolution 606 $aCannabis$xUtilization 606 $aHuman-plant relationships 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCannabis. 615 0$aCannabis$xEvolution. 615 0$aCannabis$xUtilization. 615 0$aHuman-plant relationships. 676 $a362.29/5 700 $aClarke$b Robert Connell$f1953-$01045367 701 $aMerlin$b Mark David$0622396 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452264103321 996 $aCannabis$92471594 997 $aUNINA
