and probably???? other southern states
from when it was grown commercially during WW2.
Sadly, I have heard that the TCH content is pretty weak.
But still, between hemp and kudzu, we could have a hell of a commercial enterprise.

a year and a half ago I went through your state by train. I thought I would choke in Kudzu just from LOOKING at it from the windows.

The juice from the cannabis leaf could possibly be the most beneficial use. By taking the juice orally, one is able to obtain a higher dose of raw cannabinoids, without being limited by the debilitating "high" from the heated delta9-THC.

Look up Dr. William Courtney to find more about cannabis juicing and raw cannabinoids.

It cures cancer also. So the multibillion dollar cancer drug industry wants it to stay illegal.
Watch "The Ricky Simpson Story" on youtube.

RUN FROM THE CURE: The Rick Simpson Story - A Film by Christian Laurette
Does THC kill Cancer cells? Harvard says so

THC that targets cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 is similar in function to endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body and activate these receptors. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.

So if what if you could grow a cure for cancer?
