Brass is a metal alloy composed of copper and zinc.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) Presents Obvious Upside

Archaeological research suggests that Cannabis Sativa, the source plant for cannabidiol (CBD) compounds, was one of the first agricultural crops planted by early man near the birth of agriculture some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.
