Is Marijuana misunderstood or falsely maligned? In this enlightening episode of The Oddcast Show, we explore the multifaceted benefits of the cannabis plant, particularly focusing on its medicinal and industrial uses.

From the historical background of the plant to its cultural significance and the various products derived from cannabis, like fibres for car bodies and hempcrete for homes… this episode is a journey through all things #cannabis. The episode also goes into the legal landscape in India, potential industrial applications, and the need for a plant-based economy.
