me: okay im gonna lock in for real now

the david attenborough impersonator that i hired to narrate my every action: despite saying this, they will not 'lock in'. instead, they will continue scrolling through tumblr for another forty five minutes.

me: can't you say that i'm doing something cool for once

the david attenborough impersonator that i hired to narrate my every action: caught out in their procrastination and left with nowhere else to go, our subject reaches for their last line of defence: doing a bit on the internet.

me: cmon man

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMP AND CANNABIS

While hemp and cannabis are often used interchangeably, especially in popular culture, they are two distinct varieties of the same plant species, Cannabis sativa. The main difference lies in their chemical composition, uses, and legality.

What is Hemp?

Hemp refers to varieties of Cannabis sativa that contain less than 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)—the psychoactive compound that gives cannabis its “high.” Hemp is primarily grown for industrial purposes like textiles, construction materials, food, and biofuels. Hemp fibers are strong, making them perfect for ropes, fabrics, and even building materials like hempcrete. Hemp seeds are packed with nutrition, offering a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber.

What is Cannabis?

Cannabis, on the other hand, is a term used to describe varieties of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica plants that have a higher concentration of THC (more than 0.3%). These plants are cultivated for recreational, medicinal, and therapeutic purposes. Cannabis is most commonly consumed for its psychoactive effects, but it is also used to produce CBD (cannabidiol), a non-psychoactive compound found in both hemp and cannabis, which has gained popularity for its potential health benefits, including anxiety reduction, pain relief, and more.

Key Differences

1. THC Content: Hemp has less than 0.3% THC, while cannabis can contain anywhere from 5% to 30% THC, depending on the strain.

2. Usage: Hemp is used for industrial products (textiles, bioplastics, construction materials) and food, while cannabis is primarily used for its medicinal and recreational properties.

3. Legal Status: Hemp is legal in many countries, including Canada, as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. Cannabis, depending on the country or state, may be restricted or regulated due to its psychoactive properties.

The differentiation between hemp and cannabis is crucial, particularly as global attitudes toward cannabis legalization shift. While both plants have immense potential, their uses, legality, and societal impacts differ significantly.

One acre of hemp produces 25 % more oxygen than one acre of forest and guarantees a cellulose supply that is approximately twice as high. One acre of hemp grows within 6 months, while a forest grows for decades before it is harvested. By making hemp paper, we could save millions of hectares of forest every year. Hemp can be used in textile production, construction and even as biofuel.

A keen sense of smell enables the pangolin to detect the presence of ants and termites in their nests beneath the sand. Her sticky tongue, some 30cm long, enables her to collect them from deep underground. David Attenborough | BBC Earth

Thank you Sir David Attenborough, I agree.

[ David Attenborough voice: ]

Here we see two exquisite specimens of the genus Gay Serialkillerus Messianicus - better known as Murder Spouses.

Observe the characteristic honey-blonde hair, the flat affect, and the devastatingly-fancy cheekbones.

You will notice that the female’s plumage is more drab than that of the male, which is typical of the species; but that their initial approach to their mates - Frump Lawenforcementicus Illadapticus, also know as Closeted Cops - is remarkably similar.

At first glance, one might even be fooled into thinking that g. serialkillerus is not a strongly dimorphic species; but if we keep watching, subtle differences will begin to emerge.

Did you see it?

While the female is bold and direct in her approach - even in f. lawenforcementicus’ home territory - the male is more furtive.

Despite his bright plumage - which, it is theorized, he uses to lure prospective mates to his elaborately-ornamented nest - the male is timid, approaching coyly and retreating immediately when f. lawenforcementicus offers resistance.

Prehistoric Planet 2: Episode 1 - Islands

[entheognosis]

The Japanese have been producing wood for 700 years without cutting down trees. In the 14th century, the extraordinary daisugi technique was born in Japan. Indeed, the daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees; by applying this technique to cedars, the wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, practically perfect for construction. A pruning as a rule of art that allows the tree to grow and germinate while using its wood, without ever cutting it down. Extraordinary technique.

For the ‘Humans are *insert word* here/alien fans fanclub’, I have another small headcanon:

I feel like most aliens (from aliens that travel planets, to aliens that are the embodiment of a nightmare, to aliens that are small and fuzzy),

would absolutely love David Attenborough. I mean they probably found out about Earth’s animals and how they live and stuff from watching his documentaries, because one human on a crewship put it on to help them fall asleep.

David Attenborough would be adored by all the cosmos I think.
