China: The Global Cannabis Superpower
Nov 28, 2018 | Posted by Mazakali | Environment, Hemp, International, Investment, Medical, Technology, World

China has deeper roots in cannabis than most of the western world. Hemp has never been illegal in China and thus enjoys thousands of years of cultural integration. As far back as 10,000 BC, farmers grew hemp to make clothing, tea and bows. A large percentage of all cannabis grown globally at that time was grown in ancient China, a trend that continues to this day.

China produces over half of the world’s cannabis and holds over half the world’s cannabis patents. The predominance of these patents indicates the pace of evolution in pharmaceutical science and may offer valuable lessons along the evolutionary path of Western industry. As our acceptance of this plant grows, investors and entrepreneurs alike are well-served to watch this not so sleepy giant. As cannabis traverses the path to global trade, one of the biggest economic winners will be China.
