The Cannabis Plant: A Complete Chronicle



By Smokey Joe


Blow or marijuana is a native crop of Central and South Asian regions, and its first documented use of marijuana dates to 3000 BC. Many Chinese and Asian relics found in grave sites and burial spots contain marijuana leaves and resin. Aside from Chinese and Eastern Asian regions, Traditional text 'Vedas' mentions a plant that was worshiped and considered a medical relief 'Soma ' is associated to marijuana by many fans of text. Weed is often found in Himalayan Mountain Ranges, and is consumed and exported as a money crop. Areas that are associated with local blow production includes Nepal, India, Kashmir, and Pakistan.

Folk have used marijuana for meditational purposes since traditional times, many Nepali monks still meditate utilising the plant, which helps them purify their mind and use it for concentration. It is well documented to have once been used as a medicinal herb across the history. Its extensive usage started with exportation of marijuana seeds and plants for health purposes to Northerly African Region, from where it made its way to Europe. This trade dates back as early as 500 A.D. In the western world it was used as a good sources of fiber. Marijuana plants were cultivated in abundance during tricky times of WWII as the provision of hemp to western world from asiatic sources was halted due to tensions made by the war.

In the 19th century many literary classics mentions marijuana and try and describe its psychological facts, the trance it causes and how it is consumed, Les paradis artificiels by Charles Baudelaire and The Hasheesh Eater by Fitz Hugh Ludlow are popular example of such literature.

In the US, marijuana was employed as a pharmaceutical until 1942, It was employed as a prescription drug to ease labor pains, queasiness and fits. Many people used it for its exhilarating effects as well even at that point. A campaign was launched by Drug Enforcement Administration that portrayed marijuana use as addictive and a powerful mind stimulant. This at last gave birth to one of the most sterile propaganda film, Reefer Stupidity, which was produced by a church group. In the 1950s it was used by Beatniks as a stimulant in their own words, while in the 1960s it was employed by Hippies as a technique to fight with the person. This was when Buddhist/South Asian influence was high in music and literature of that time, and many folks were rebelling against war and evolving a rather more calm life-style by meditating with marijuana and Buddhist way of life, the modification of marijuana usage like their Buddhist teachers (as discussed above) was natural.

In 1970s Marijuana was classified a schedule I drug, which essentially meant being the most abused drug and no medical use at all. Most of the Marijuana made its way through the south border of USA from Mexico, but political pressures and actions by authority ceased the trade to a large extent. In the 1980s Reagan Administration applied a 0 toleration policy which exterminated all of drug trade from southern borders, which led to indoor cultivation, California being the hotbed for production. These stringent policies resulted in reduced Marijuana usage in the latter 1980s. Weed was legal in India until 1980s, but it was made illegal by the political pressures by the United States and the administrations firm policies. 1990s once more saw an increase in marijuana consumption, particularly among high cchool scholars.

Debates have triggering since the 1990s about the medical properties and potential use of the Plant. And since then, over 15 states in the United States have either legalized medical usage of Marijuana or decriminalized it.
