So you have read enough to see but you need some sort of proof aside from the fact humans have been using it as feed for as long as history has been recorded ?

Given the fact humans didnt even know they had the endocannabanoid system until the 90's I am not surprised there isnt technical evidence showing the correlation.

Common sense should prevail here, but you are correct... even though the cannabanoid receptors are one of the most populous receptors in the brain and folks using CBD oil have been reporting all sorts of interesting reactions to it ( I personally can tell you it relieves pain from nerve damage ). Nothing in the links I posted directly correlates anything.

Odd how the money in the cotton industry lobbied and killed the hemp industry isnt it?

Trivia ... US Constitution is written on Hemp Paper

It is true that paper, and a very large proportion of fabric, were made from hemp until William Randolph Hearst orchestrated a fear campaign about "devil weed" to create a larger market for his timber holdings.

There was quite a lot of resistance to paper made of wood. It was acidic, so turned brown and crumbled in a short time, and was generally of lower quality than hemp paper. The quality problems have been addressed, since, but wood still takes quite a lot more processing to make into useful fiber.
