Seeds of about 5 mm long, pic taken with estereoscopic microscope. It is a plant with very bad fame, politicians in Mexico say they are fighting narcotrafic, but the truth is that government+military+narcotrafficants are the same in my country. And they dont legalize it (as Marley recomends) because it is a huuuge business.
i believe it is a weed, it germinates and grows fast
dont know if these seeds belong to sativa, indica or ruderalis

Hi chesterbperry, thanks for the info, i agree with you in everything. I would only like to mention that weeds are not such a trivial thing. And this is a complete appart subject than Cannabis, perhaps if you wish we could discuss it further on, im working with weeds and theres a lot of controversy about their biological atributes, much more than if they grow where we dont want them.
The seeds of hemp are highly nutritious, providing all of the essential amino acids needed by the human body. The most terrible aspect of this plants persecution is the lumping of hemp in with the cultivated strains of marijuana. This has long been the "reason" for not allowing hemp to be grown here in the states. Despite hemp having negligible amounts of the psychoactive compounds. Also when grown for industrial purposes or food, both male and female plants are desirable, making those fields valueless for a market that does not want their flowers pollinated. Finally, Yuriana a weed is simply a plant that is growing where you do not wish.
thank u AntónioGinjaGinja
Thank you Stephen :D
and true, psychotropic aspects are virtually nothing compare to other things
i should travel to Holland or Portugal. I hate the ritual use of psychotropic plants is becoming a business for politicians, military and the police. Before it used to be something sacred for prehispanic people in my side of the world, now its just business as i said and stupidity.
...smiles.
You know Argy,Portuguese are a bit like Holland people,we are very tolerant with each other diferences,ideas ,religions,sex choises,alcool (we have GREAT wines:)and of course ligth drugs use :-)
...and the psychotropic aspect is virtually nothing compared to the incredibly long list of other benefits. I still like to watch Henry Ford trying to demolish his latest hemp car with an axe. Oh the games people play... nice spotting btw (healthy specimens)
Totally agree with you Argy Bee! In Mesoamerica we have a long tradition for hundreds of years on the use of psychotropic plants
It's a crime against humanity to prohibit the benefits of this plant. Always a few ignorant, selfish, vested interests maintaining the status quo. At least Portugal is leading the way to common sense... and India has been there for millennia.
