Since the beginnings of civilization in Europe cannabis was bred as hemp ...
oils were an unwanted by product of hemp,
those early farmers weren't dumb they soon learned to breed good hemp
by not using them low quality Asian seeds,
preferring Northern strains the no oil variety
Hemp/Cannabis didn't hit North America until the European's arrived,
then again it was grown as Hemp for rope
With Chinese arriving in California back in the day they bought their own..
perhaps for cooking,
that Asian strain got loose and was soon crossed
with the stable North American/Euro strain
to this day post WW2 North American strains is not so good as it still contains some of those oils
as many know, wild USA Hemp is still to be found on many back roads in the south
By the end of WW2 and early cold war days the hemp industry was dead
with many going to that new NYON rope
