[h3]Did you know that Marijuana is an Herb?[/h3]

http://www.marijuana.com/herb/

Marijuana, or Cannabis Sativa, is an herb. This is not a well known fact and one that government propaganda rarely boasts. As with any herb Marijuana has herbal characteristics that both identify it as and differentiate it from other herbs.


As a small, leafy, flowering plant Marijuana fits the description of an herb as defined by Dictionary.com, “a flowering plant whose stem above ground does not become woody.”. It is common knowledge that the stem of a Marijuana plant is very fibrous and in the past has been valued for this strong tensile quality.


Few would argue that Marijuana does not provide a distinct odor that is easily distinguished from any other plants. Due to this distinct aroma and flavor Marijuana has long been used as a culinary ingredient. Cooking with Marijuana and Marijuana recipes are common both in history and modern times. The quantities of the herb used can vary from chef to chef and those who use more of the herb may find psychoactive effects from eating the herb.


Certainly you’ve heard of Medical Marijuana. The medicinal value of herbs, including Marijuana have, been documented throughout history. According to, Raphael Mechoulam and co-workers at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the origin of the term cannabis can be traced as such: Greek cannabis < Arabic kunnab < Syriac qunnappa < Hebrew pannag (= bhanga in Sanscrit and bang in Persian).” The authors think it is probable that pannag, mentioned in the Bible by the prophet Ezekiel (5, 22), is in fact Cannabis, or Marijuana. The medicinal uses range from pain relief to exorcism and everything in between.


Wikipedia describes Cannabis or Marijuana as “an annual, dioecious, flowering herb”. As an herb, Marijuana should be explored for its full human potential. The concept of spending billions of tax payer dollars on a world wide war on a flowering herb seems rather ridiculous. In fact, the absolute worst thing about the herb, Marijuana, is that it is illegal.


The prohibition of this herb has driven the price per ounce to over $480 for high quality Marijuana. This illegal product is not manufactured, rather grown from a seed in closets and backyards all around the world. It is the prohibition that creates this inflated price and the profit motive of criminals. This concept was clear to us during alcohol prohibition but still escapes the leaders today.


The fact remains – Marijuana is an herb. However, no substance in human history has ever been the subject of such persecution.

Well, I think being this is a marijuana website a lot of people know that. Now...If you asked this to someone like my parents they would just think..."Oh what, huh? Marijuana is just a drug."

They think it is some sort of horrible substance or something. Its just a plant...and if you just happen to set on fire, there happens to be some effects.

By that definition, isn't every flowering plant that's not a tree or shrub an "herb"?

Why would everyone call it herb if it wasn't an herb?

Cool

I believe the reason is because it was first used as an additive for food and also, early peoples were really into gathering roots and herb from plant to supplement their own food supply. The analgesic properties are also quite evident......

Contrary to popular belief, it is quite hard to live strickly off the land nowadays. Not enough left......

That was exactly what I was saying in my post but this is much better put. How could anyone be confused about the status of Marijuana?
