Desde hace mucho, se sabe que las sumidades floridas del cannabis resinoso cuentan con gran cantidad de componentes medicinales. Sin embargo, esa no es la única parte de la planta que se utilizaba para fines terapéuticos. Las raíces de cannabis también proporcionaban alivio a varias dolencias en culturas tradicionales.
