Question

What part of the world do cannabis plants grow naturally in the wild?

where do cannabis plants originate from?

Answer 1

any warm humid climate will do, Indians use to use the plants to make rope so just about anywhere in the US besides the Desert or in the Rocky Mountains

Answer 2

Cannabis originates in the himalayas, near Tibet. The chinese used it for a time, but then discovered opium & it lost favour with them.  Around the same time the seeds were scattered around & it spread to India where they found various medicinal uses for it & made rope & oils with it. The arabs planted it in & around Afghanistan. Some of the fields have been cultivated for more than a 1000 years.

The first definite record of the marijuana plant in the New World dates from 1545 A.D, when the Spaniards introduced it into Chile. It has been suggested, however, that African slaves familiar with marijuana as an intoxicant and medicine brought the seeds with them to Brazil even earlier in the sixteenth century. There are certain parts of Colombia in South America, where there are records of some wild plants growing as tall as 5 storeys high.

Answer 7

It's called ditchweed here in Missouri, and it's not a very good smoke (low in THC).  It's left over from the cultivation of hemp, which was grown for fiber, not as a drug.

"Industrial hemp"  is cannabis, as is the marijuana cultivated to smoke.  They can interbreed, and you can get hemp that has a high level of THC.  This is the reason that it is against the law to grow it in many places.
