Where does cannabis come from?


Cannabis is grown all over the world; in fields as a crop or inside buildings as long as there is water and artificial light. Different weather and soil conditions can change the amounts of the chemicals inside the plant, which means that certain parts of the world produce stronger cannabis than others. Cannabis originated in the middle east. China used it as an anaesthetic about 5,000 years ago.
