The Powerful Benefits of Hemp Roots: The Hidden Part of Cannabis
by Lara Starr
Cannabis and Hemp (which is the more industrial version of Cannabis) have proven time and time again to be billion-dollar cash crops. The States that have legalized their use have seen an astounding increase in tax revenue created by the plant.
We know it has at least 50,000 known uses, and we’ve been using Cannabis for many of those things since before we even started recording human history. We know all about how to use it’s leaves, its fiber, leaves, flowers, oils, resins, etc. But when it comes to the roots of the plant, they tend to get overlooked.
The first mention of hemp root as medicine can be found in the ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia, the Shen Nung Pên-ts’ao Ching, as early as the third millennium BCE. It is stated that the juice of the root has diuretic properties, as well as being useful in assisting the cessation of hemorrhage after childbirth.
Beyond its use in medicine, various Chinese texts attest to the importance of hemp root in ‘gunpowder’ preparations – it is roasted and powdered, before being mixed with bamboo root, pine pitch and various other substances, and ignited. There are several variations on the basic recipe, which result in incendiary powders, balls for catapults (which would ignite upon impact), smoke-powders and hand-grenades.
Elsewhere, it is stated that a paste made from the roots was used to relieve the pain of broken bones and surgical procedures. The Roman historian Pliny wrote in his Natural Histories, published circa 77-79 CE, that hemp root boiled in water could be used to relieve stiffness in the joints, gout and related conditions.
He also noted that the root could be placed raw on burn wounds, but needed to be changed frequently to prevent drying out. Later, between the 4th and 5th centuries (CE), the Gaulish chronicler Marcellus Empiricus recorded in his opus De Medicamentis that the root was wrapped around the right arm, ostensibly as a treatment for worms.

There is NO such thing as Truth within UnTruth. Like-it/”Industrialised” or not, being Absolutely/Thoughtlessly Aware, requires Reality/”The-Present” and not some Relativism/Past-vs-Future endeavour, which numbs Awareness.
It is one thing to be Comforted, but when said Comfort actually has the agenda of instituting Abandonment, that is when, somehow but don’t know how, there is Truth within Untruth. There ISN’T.
This is why the essential empowerment of a Human is to be able to absolutely distinguish between “Benevolence”/Reality & “Malevolence”/Relativity. Without this very fundamental empowerment, Reality has ZERO meaning. It is like a fully-sighted person, within the confines of a totally-darkened room, feeling a “Wet-Rope” only to violently cast it away on realising that it is a Snake. Talk about Hissy Fits and how “Thought” manipulate EVERY Thinker.
It is malevolent to Smoke Anything. Afterall, EVERY “Smoke Virgin” instictively coughs when inhaling smoke for the first time. Why is this Information neglected? Because Smokers are Too Numbed to take notice. Be conscious and be aware that Comfort instills Abandonment much like “Socialism” aims to legalise Addiction. You know, when being cleansed by Some Other after every toilet visit is not about power but relinquishing one’s Absolute Empowerment/Responsibility.
Notice how there is a myriad of explanations about, “The Benefits of Marijuana”? Including “Holy Men” smoking Ganja to reach God. Smoking Marijuana merely propels self to “The Left Side”/The-SubConscious. The bad thing about that is when one takes a “Busybody” [or two] on “The Return Trip”. Yes, spooky indeed. More so when said Busybody could be “A Cancer”. Namely that which incites/forments Cellular Rebellion. How spooky is that? For Quackery & Handler, that is one trip too little when Tributes of Fame, Fortune & Immortality are beckoning. “ …. eyes sez Open Widerrrr ….” Ja? Ooh, isn’t ‘e soo Cute N Comforting …..
