Ben Cort : What commercialization is doing to cannabis


Ben Cort at TEDxMileHigh  (transcript)
What commercialization is doing to cannabis
Summary
It took so much time to write this for me.
It's because I didn't know about cannabis completely. Just, I know that Japan prohibits the use of cannabis. 1)

Cannabis is a tall plant and it is used to produce hemp.  2)
It seems to be used for hemp fiber, for hemp oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug for a long time without Japan. 3)
In the story, it's written that cannabis is a plant that grows naturally, and has been used within textiles and even traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. And then, it's now made up of hundreds of different chemicals in which there are CBD and THC. 4)
In fact, CBD is surprisingly and legally used in Japan. 5)
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis, helps people as medicines, and is nonintoxicating.6)
Japanese Cannabis Control Law excludes CBD that seems to be cannabis’ seed and steam, but regulates parts of leaves and flower.7) l researched those to understand the article.

The speaker and other countries law must want to do that, however, many industries started to use THC commercially and globally to get much benefit when marijuana has been legalized in Colorado. It’s not announced, it’s not clearly described and people don’t know that. Children can use it easily. What can you allow? Is it a right way for legalizing cannabis? We need to think more.

Words in this story
commercialize /verb/ manage or exploit (an organization, activity, etc.) in a way designed to make a profit.
cannabis /noun/ a tall plant with a stiff upright stem, divided serrated leaves, and glandular hairs. It is used to produce hemp fiber and as a psychotropic drug.
