「Plant for civilization」or,「plant for all of humanity」or, the「plant of zombies」refers to the plants bundled into torches and set ablaze, at first only used to light the caverns of the cave folks, TORCHES OF BURNING CANNABIS PLANTS. Later used to begin COOKING, STEAMING, and SMOKING FOODSTUFFS with fire, no longer eating food raw as do the remainder of animals, harnessing the power of fire. Using fire to control the PROCESS OF EVAPORATION and DISTILLATION. Cooking food, boiling and distilling water was needed to kill harmful bacteria, causing one small step for a man, but a giant leap in progress for all of humanity, and less dysentery.
Also meaning a POULTICE for drawing out infection pus and as a pain killer, a medicinal use of cannabis. Note that humans were「zombies in a vapid state of torpor」prior to the burning of cannabis torches, and not as a result of burning cannabis (or so it may be inferred). Harnessing the additional uses and power of fire came about perhaps as a result of the use of cannabis torches in the caves—if the cannabis had been the cause of our torpor, arguably we would still be living in the caves and eating raw meat…who can say what other effects the smoke and fumes from the burning torches had within the enclosed caverns?
Or: note that「finely chopped firewood」burns very slowly with much smoke, and only when laid over already burning embers that will become smothered: perhaps a handy way to fill one's cavern with cannabis smoke when the plant is in abundance.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: to evaporate; (of cooking) to steam; torch made from hemp stalks or bamboo (old); finely chopped firewood (old)
Japanese EDRDG: steam, heat, sultry, foment, become musty
Unihan extended: steam; evaporate

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
