Cannabis is a crop-and its “roots” go all the way back to China in 12,000 BC.
Cannabis has always had a bad wrap as an illegal drug, so it never got the love that many of the other crops got when it came to investigating their heritage. A team of scientists have uncovered their origins and are able to share. An article by PysOrg highlights the investigation into this special crop.

We are going to introduce some new definitions over the next few weeks about a great fun topic, CANNABIS! (From the Oxford Dictionary)
The first word to define is CANNABINOID.
can·nab·i·noid
plural noun: cannabinoids
1. any of a group of closely related compounds which include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis.
So what in the world is a “cannabinol”?can·nab·i·nol
1. a crystalline compound whose derivatives, especially THC, are the active constituents of cannabis
What does all of this mean?
CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol, one of the many cannabinoids, or chemical compounds, found in marijuana and hemp. You’re probably already familiar with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is another compound found in the cannabis plant and its main psychoactive component.
Why is any of this important?
You’ve probably noticed that people are putting CBD in just about everything. And maybe they aren’t covered for it. While we have options to cover CBD right now, we have more options on the way. Stay tuned for “Fast Times of Alaska High!”
