New research used genetics to trace the ancient birthplace of Cannabis sativa, from which we harvest pot today .
Cannabis was likely used as a "multipurpose" crop - not just a drug - in East Asia for thousands of years before humans used selective breeding to turn it into the potent, THC -laden green we know today .
Scientists found genetic divergence in expression of THC and CBD genes in all strains of cannabis.
Cannabis sativa has long been an important source of fiber extracted from hemp and both medicinal and recreational drugs based on cannabinoid compounds.
All current hemp and drug cultivars diverged from an ancestral gene pool currently represented by feral plants and landraces in China .
We found evidence for loss of function of genes involved in the synthesis of the two major biochemically competing cannabinoids.
