Netflix and Vox recently added a new episode to the "Explained" series. This time they dive into weed, but not in the traditional way people think of it. They do a deep dive into the history of the Cannabis plant and explore when and how it diverged into different variations. They even cover how the plant was used in the hemp variation years and years ago. The episode is narrated by @thatkevinsmith and is super informative. This is a great episode to show someone who may have a stigma towards the plant and may not understand all of its uses. The short documentary-style episode is a concise and honest depiction of the plant, its history, and its uses. Check out a snippet below that Vox posted to Twitter!

Not all cannabis will get you high. For thousands of years the plant’s northern variant was used to produce hemp, a vital industrial resource.
