Cannabis has been vital to the progression of mankind. Its use has been prevalent throughout millennia. Once used in over 30,000 different products, cultivation of the drug provided ancient cultures with a remedy and strong source of fibre. From its diverse uses in war and exploration, to medicine and intoxication, Cannabis has been instrumental to the evolution of civilisations around the globe.

In turn, boosting the black market and the vilification of minorities.
