Lesotho local farmers could grow their corn and cannabis together. A wonderful symbioses. They could also grow companion plants which will keep fungi, pests away from their cannabis . In fact the big stake holders in Lesotho right now would truly benefit from this method. I think there are 5 International Cannabis companies operating inside Lesotho. I would love to see them also build hempcrete bricks to build local housing. These houses can be erected within 2 days based on the lego-brick system! The hemp bricks are fire, insect proof, keep the homes warm in winter and cool in summer and are hard as rock.

Horrible! and the commercial growers ruining those awesome african strains by bringing that CBD shit in to corrupt the landraces!!

[@emiliopetrucci7076]

100 euros per gram. too far from reality, new economies should produce at a lower price to be validated in the market first.
