Purple Cannabis

 



Lyster H. Dewey, 1912 Purple Mutation in cannabis.


“Practically all of the hemp Cannabis sativa cultivated for fiber production in Kentucky and elsewhere in the United States is from seed of Chinese origin. The seed is nearly all grown in a limited area on the bottom lands along the Kentucky River. Hemp is diæcious ensuring cross pollination and since no attempt has been made to select or breed pure strains there has been a general mixing of all the strains introduced resulting in a fairly uniform homogenous type. The foliage of this hemp so far as observed is always a rich dark green color in healthy normal plants.
In 1912 two pistillate plants were found with foliage of a bright purple color in marked contrast to the normal green color. These grew in a small plat of hemp cultivated for seed selection on the Potomac Flats Washington D C. The history of the seed from which this mutation sprang is definitely known for nine generations.”

1914 Ten Dollar Federal Reserve Note

  1914 Ten Dollar Federal Reserve Note Was it printed on hemp paper ? Does it have a picture of hemp harvesting on the back of the bill ? There are multiple websites  and posts floating around on social media. Which state, the 1914 Federal Reserve note is printed on hemp paper and has a picture of hemp being harvested on the back side of the bill. I also have visited several CBD stores and dispensaries which have this bill framed and displayed. Here are a couple of examples of the “facts” presented, to justify these claims. Actually much of what they say is true, but there are some issues. This is an example of the things which the sites talk about.... 10$ (1914) was Printed on Hemp Paper and Portrays Farmers Plowing Hemp “The back was designed by Clair Aubrey Huston; Farming, a scene in Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania, was engraved by Marcus W Baldwin; Industry, a mill in Joliet, Illinois, was engraved by HL Charlton. The first day of issue was November 16, 1914.”
