About This is We.Ed
From the publisher's feed
Today, cannabis is misunderstood in India more than ever. Its non-psychoactive variant - hemp - gets more hate than Mondays. Never has a plant so useful been demonized for its ancestry. With over 25,000 products including baby diaper and a car, why hasn't cannabis taken root in the agrarian economy of India - one of its earliest users since 2000 BC?
Tune in to The We.Ed Podcast and uncover with us - from discovery to who led to its systematic demonization to how India can benefit from rethinking its stance on the world's next most useful cash crop.
