I was talking with someone and she was telling me about how centuries ago farmers were required to grow hemp. And the livestock (deer, pigs, cows, etc.) would eat it, and we would eat the livestock and that's how we got the CBD naturally into our endocannabinoid system. And when the hemp farming stopped, that's when our health got out of balance.

What do you folks think about that? It kind of makes sense, but I'm also somewhat gullible at times.

In 1619, the first House of Burgesses passed an act requiring all Virginia planters to sow hemp. It was such a valuable crop that both Henry VIII of England and the Virginia Assembly fined farmers who did not grow it.

Yes, it was valuable as much of the worlds commerce was by sea. Ropes and sails were made from hemp.

Major uses:
• Paper – Supposedly the Declaration of Independence (something we should all re-read) drafts were written on hemp paper
• Ropes
• Sails
• Clothing
• Oil for Lamps
