Rest & Relaxation

Well it's Friday ya'll and like M. Dot says,
"Everybody got a way to relax like everybody gotta pay their tax"

Here are just a few facts that I just recently got hip to about our good friend CEO of The High Towers, Cannibus:
  • One of the world’s first pharmacy books, the Pen Ts’ao published in China around 2800 BC, recommends cannabis as a medical remedy for nearly every ailment.
  • Earliest references to its intoxicating properties appear in the Atharva-Veda, a sacred Indian text dating back to 2000 BC.
  • The Greeks and Romans also cultivated cannabis for its fibers, seeds and medicinal applications, most notably as an anesthetic for menstrual cramps and the pain accompanying childbirth.(WOOOORRRRRD!!)
  • Throughout the Middle Ages and into the nineteenth century, cannabis was grown throughout Europe and eventually in America. In fact, the first law concerning marijuana in the United States was passed in 1619 by the Virginia assembly and required all households to grow it as a matter of national necessity. Eventually, most of the colonies allowed cannabis to be used as legal tender.(& look at the gov't trippin out now)
  • George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were among the Founding Fathers who grew cannabis on their estates.
