Cannabis or marijuana is a native cluster 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. Apart from Chinese and Eastern Asian regions, Traditional text 'Vedas' speaks of a plant that was worshiped and considered a medical relief 'Soma ' is associated to marijuana by many followers of text. Weed is naturally found in Himalayan Mountain Ranges, and is consumed and exported as a money crop. Areas that are connected with native blow production includes Nepal, India, Kashmir, and Pakistan.
Folks have used marijuana for meditational purposes since ancient times, many Nepali monks still meditate using the plant, which helps them purify their mind and use it for concentration. It is well documented to have been used as a medicinal herb across the history. Its far-reaching use began with exportation of cannabis seeds and plants for medical purposes to Northerly African Area, from where it made its way to Europe. This trade dates back as early as 500 A.D. In the western world it was employed as a source of fiber. Marijuana plants were cultivated in abundance during difficult times of WW2 as the supply of hemp to western world from asiatic sources was halted due to tensions created by the war.
In the 19th century many literary classics mentions marijuana and attempt to describe its psychological facts, the trance it induces 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 United States, marijuana was employed as a pharmaceutical until 1942, It was used as a prescription drug to ease work pains, queasiness and fits. Many of us used it for its exhilarating effects as well even at that point. A campaign was launched by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that portrayed marijuana use as addictive and a dynamic mind stimulation. This finally gave birth to one of the most sterile disinformation film, Reefer Madness, which was produced by a church group. In the 1950s it was utilized by Beatniks as a stimulant in their own words, while in the 1960s it was used by Hippies as a way to struggle with the government. This was when Buddhist/South Asian influence was high in music and literature of that time, and many of us were rebelling against war and changing a peaceful life-style by meditating with marijuana and Buddhist way of life, the adaption of marijuana use like their Buddhist teachers (as discussed above) was natural.
In 1970s Marijuana was classified a schedule I drug, which basically meant being the most abused drug and no medical use whatsoever. Most of the Marijuana made its way through the south border of United States of America from Mexico, but political pressures and actions by authority ceased the trade to a large extent. In the 1980s Reagan Administration applied a no toleration policy which exterminated all of drug trade from southern borders, which ended in indoor cultivation, California being the hotbed for production. These stringent policies ended in reduced Marijuana use in the late 1980s. Pot 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 again saw a rise in marijuana consumption, especially among school scholars.
Debates have being triggered since the 1990s about the medical properties and potential usage of the Plant. And since that time, over 15 states in the U. S. have either legalized medical usage of Marijuana or decriminalized it.
