15 Things You Should Know About Marijuana [Infographic]
If you are anything like me, you love infographics because they make lots of information extremely easy to read and digest. So when the team at Term Life Insurance came to me with the opportunity to work with them on a marijuana infographic I HAD to take the opportunity. So after lots of research and blunts smoked, here is an awesome marijuana infographic that shows some facts about marijuana that you probably didn’t know yet. I even learned a thing or two, this plant is even more amazing than I thought. Enjoy.

"You can only get high off the dried leaves of the female plant"
Sort of true, but mostly untrue.
It's the FLOWERS of the female plant that get you the highest. (Also known as the "buds.")
The leaves themselves contain very little THC, and are next to useless for either medicinal or recreational purposes.

wait… i just noticed that in the list of countries that weed is legal in, The Netherlands/Holland isn't included, while it is actually known for the fact that it legally sells pot…
im dissapointed.

Cannabis isn’t actually fully legal in Holland, it’s tolerated only when sold in designated shops. It’s actually illegal for the shop owners to buy it, although it’s not illegal for them to have or sell in small quantities, anybody can legally purchase some but only in designated shops. It is illegal to buy from anywhere besides the coffee shops which is why it is illegal for the coffee shops to buy it, they don’t get into trouble for the simple fact that since those shops opened, a few decades ago, drug use has declined somewhat along with crime.

#11. 'Male plants are *bold* only used for fertilizing a female plant."
This is only sort of true, and the bold makes me even more nit-picky about this.
'Hemp', grown for rope, fiber, and even potentially ethanol IS the male plant and the male plant only. While it is true that you can only get high off of female flowers because Hemp has no appreciable THC, it is not only used for seed creation. As #5 states, it is and has long been used for clothing, sails, rope and more.

Hemp is not marijuana. Hemp is a neutered cousin of marijuana. You cannot grow hemp and marijuana in the same field because the hemp will sterilize the marijuana. Hemp cannot get you high. Hemp and marijuana are excellent plants for crop rotation because they both put nitrogen back into the soil. Most food crops like corn and wheat, pull nitrogen from the soil, which is why farmers use fertilizer which always has a nitrogen component. Instead of using a fallow field in rotation, hemp/marijuana actually put nitrogen and other minerals back into the soil which means farmers would use much less fertilizer. It is completely stupid that we criminalize the most valuable cash crop (hemp, not marijuana – although both should be legal) in the world. The U.S. was once the largest producer of rope in the world and then we outlawed hemp and we had to scramble to get rope during WWII for the Navy. Many people do not remember the government campaign during the war to induce people to grow hemp since Japan controlled the world supply of hemp during the war. Once the war was over, the ban went back into effect as if nothing had happened. It’s a shame.

You blistering idiot, cannabis is NOT legal in Belgium.
It's SEMI legal in the Netherlands tough.
It's decriminalised in Germany and several other European countries.
GROWING and SELLING cannabis is still illegal in whole europe (except for rare licensed sellers in the Netherlands, with a very low limit)
GET INFORMED YOU IDIOT, and stop making false propaganda

Nobody has a problem with the production of hemp. Marijuana and hemp are not the same thing. One thing you should also know about marijuana is that becoming a regular user will make you a totally lazy waste of space. Buh, stoners annoy the hell out of me.

This information is not correct.
The list of countries where marijuana is Legal / Decriminalized is completely off.

I’m not sure that the number of deaths attributed to alcohol compared to marijuana is a fair comparison. Included within the figure presented here is the number deaths attributed to fatal car accidents where drunk driving is found to be the cause (The US CDC officially states there are roughly 300 deaths a year directly attributable to alcohol overdose.). Fatal accidents likely occur where drivers are stoned, but as no one tests for THC, who would know?

Also, if you follow the epidemiology literature concerning marijuana consumption and risk of lung cancer, it’s far from a resolved issue. There are indeed several (even recent) studies suggesting that cannabis smoking may be a risk factor for lung cancer. The issue is the overlap with tobacco smokers is so great, that it’s difficult to ascertain whether the tobacco smoking is a confound. It should also be noted that chronic marijuana smoking is associated with the development of non-cancerous pulmonary pathologies.

Saying that mariijuana doesn't increase your risk of lung cancer, and then recommending a vaporizer to avoid 'harmful smoke'?

#8 and #14 need changing.
#14 is easiest. Marijuana is a term used to refer to any wild growing tobacco plant.
#8. How is there no mention of the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act of 1937 ushered in by Anslinger. The US Supreme Court struck down that Act in 1967. And, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, a UN treaty, in 1961 which was the basis for the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 which created the DEA. Then you have to talk about the 1971 and 1988 UN treaties.

I won't believe #15 until I see proof. And where is exactly is the record book for things like the world's biggest joint or blunt, etc?

The United States Constitution (as well as the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights) was actually written on parchment, which is treated animal skin. While it is true that hemp can be made into paper, parchment typically lasts much longer than paper of any type, making it a better choice for writing a master copy of a document of such great importance. However, the drafts of these documents may very well have been written on hemp paper, as that was a very common type of paper at that time.

Number 5 is pretty false. Marijuana ≠ hemp. Hemp and marijuana are about as similar as humans and chimps. It's a different species. You get high by smoking Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa. Hemp is Cannabis ruderalis.
