Napoleon, The Hemperor Of Russia

Do you know about the role that hemp played in the French invasion of Russia? Most people don’t.

Cannabis POW’s

Now that the marijuana movement has proved successful enough to give life to a whole new LEGAL industry, it has given rise to an incredible wave of growth. Some of this is clearly making things better for the consumer; great product options, easy availability, steady pricing, no shady meet ups with a guy that’s a friend of a friend of a guy.
