The Tetrahydroevolution of Cannabis. A reference to production, refining and current presentation of Cannabis
Abstract
Objective: To refer the main processes of production, refinement and current presentation of cannabis. Methodology: An observation of the processes of production, refining and presentation of cannabis in crops, laboratories and clinics in California (United States) and Baja California (Mexico) was made. Findings: Three dimensions are proposed to refer to the current cannabis production, refining and presentation processes: 1) The neo-cannabis production: A cannabis production characterized by fast and higher yields, 2) The neo-refining of cannabis: An extreme use of cannabis characterized by different methods that extract its main components, and 3) The neo-presentation of cannabis: A contemporary presentation of cannabis in new and plural commercial forms. Conclusions: Cannabis has had a development in recent decades that is far superior to the development of the plant throughout its existence. The name tetrahydroevolution of cannabis is suggested for this process.
