Cannabis Sativa
To Obtain Energy
     The plant Cannabis Sativa also known as Hemp gets its energy from the sun like most other plant species. It uses photosynthesis
to convert the light energy collected from the sun's rays into energy it can use to make food on which it lives or to produce it's means
of reproduction.

To Resist Being Used As Energy
     The hemp plant grows extremely well all over the place, as long as it is tropical. The hemp plant can grow in different soils and does
not need any assistance to grow well (i.e. fertilizer.) The hemp plant can grow so well by itself that one seed can start a 3 acre field 15
feet tall remarkably fast. The seed is often eaten by tempted birds because it is  protein rich, birds that eat the seed seem live longer.
The hemp plant resists all kinds of pests, the oil produced by the leave used to create the extremely powerful drug hashish (or hash) is
avoided by hungry animals.

To Obtain Water

     The Cannabis Sativa thrives in tropical climates such as the ones found in Mexico and parts of North America so it needs a
sufficient amount of rainfall to survive. The hemp plant does not need to live in tropical climates though, often it is cultivated in captivity by people who wish to use it's leaves, roots,flowers, and buds to make the addictive drugs MARIJUANA and HASHISH, they surely keep the plant well watered because of it's processed monetary value.

To Reproduce
     Hemp's leaves and various parts restore vital nutrients and nitrogen to the ground around the plant. The nitrogen rich soil around
the plant is the perfect condition for new seeds to live in, because of this cycle of  enrichment and plantation is what makes the hemp
plant so successful on its own, it can law down acres of nutrient/ nitrogen rich soil and shrubs by using this system of self fertilization.

To Disperse Offspring
     Birds eager to score a few extra lives on this earth often eat the seeds because of it's high quality protein that is better than that of even the soy bean's, also it has no saturated fat, a vegan or vegetarian could simply live by only eating the seeds and buds of the cannabis sativa. When the birds excrement the seeds out, they can survive if the environment is permitting.This may be a way for the
plant to disperse itself besides the usual falling seed from bush method.

To Survive Extremes In Physical Environment
     The cannabis sativa makes the best use out of it's environment, from being lenient on where it must live to enriching the land and soil around it. It is really rugged and used to be used to make all kinds of fabrics. Studies show that the hemp fabrics produced by this certain cannabis plant are way better than those produced from cotton and others, but because of laws against the misuse and abuse of the awful drugs marijuana and hashish, any posession whatsoever of the plant is highly prohibited world wide.
