Since today in the USA, the number is dramatically reduced bees that are the main pollinators of many crops, scientists concluded that growing cannabis in large areas can solve this a problem. Moreover, hemp itself is an excellent raw material for production of not only medicines, but also clothes, as well as many other things (from it you can produce up to 50 thousand different products and products).
