Aloha!

The First Planting of Cannabis on Earth is more than a story about the mysterious origins of the most famous and infamous herb bearing seeds on the planet, it’s the testimony of a few important metaphysical principles for all of us. “Whatever you focus on … grows” is demonstrated by the author choosing to appreciate the life enhancing qualities of Colombian Gold “marijuana” from his first puff at nineteen years old, versus believing in the widespread propaganda of prohibition. Roger’s focus on the goodness of Cannabis led to his co-founding of the Hawaiian Hemp Company in Pahoa, Hawai’i in 1991, one of the world’s first retail hemp stores, his co-hosting gourmet hempseed banquets at famous restaurants in Lahaina, Maui in 1995, and his founding of The Hawai’i Cannabis THC Ministry in 2000. The other metaphysical lesson he learned and demonstrated successfully was “If you can’t hide it … paint it red.” Roger’s very public appreciation of Cannabis hemp shows that celebrating what you love creates its own rewards.

This book attempts to answer some of the most important questions in life. Who are we? Where did we come from? How can we make the most of our life? Can we overcome the limitations, the Original Sin, the bondage imposed on us, or are we stuck with the dominant paradigms of birth and culture? Is Cannabis a botanical messiah? Can it be a practical savior? Was there really a first planting of hemp from outer space, and did the Anunnaki create the human race? The answers to these and other questions are revealed with facts, theories and epiphanies in The First Planting of Cannabis on Earth. You be the judge.
