Hemp

**Plant Name: Hemp** Where is this field?

**Domestication:** **Biology:** > **Human/Plant relationship**: > **Refection:**  Ive learned that hemp has been around for thousands of years, and that there are many different uses for it. I wonder who was the first person to try and smoke hemp, what was going through his mind. Ive learned about the levels of THC in products and how high or low they need to be either legal or illegal. Ive also learned that hemp is legal in Canada while pot is illegal but they are so close and similar it is ridicules. Humans like this plant because it has many potential products illegal and legal. First question would be how differently does hemp look now, compared to when it was first discovered and cultivated. Second question would be whats the best selling hemp product that is legal.
