Starjumper Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) Interesting, Stosh, synchronized posting. When I started this post yours wasn't there yet. Shen Nong, the Divine Farmer Quote At this time, so the legend goes, there were a great many people in China and simply not enough food. They ate everything they could find – plants, fruit, shellfish and insects, apparently – but this was a sorry state of affairs and life was very harsh. Shen Nong taught the people to plough fields, identify different fruit and seed-bearing crops, and sow and harvest them. One day, during his teaching, sand-coloured clouds appeared in the sky and released a sudden downpour of seeds. When the clouds had passed, Shen Nong collected the seeds and carefully sowed them. A few months later, diverse and valuable crops covered the land. One of them was cannabis; the others were soy, wheat, broomcorn, and foxtail millet. https://sensiseeds.com/en/blog/cannabis-seeds-divine-source-shen-nong-five-sacred-grains/ Edited June 14, 2018 by Starjumper 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
