The History Of Cannabis

The history of medicinal cannabis dates back to Ancient China. Over the next 3000 years its use spread globally through Asia, India and Africa, then soon reached the rest of the world through trade and migration.


In 1794 President George Washington was quoted as saying "make the most of Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere"!


In the 1830's  Irish physician William Brooke O'Shaungnessy learned of the effectiveness of cannabis while living abroad in India, upon his return to England in 1842 cannabis as medicine became widespread throughout Europe and the United States. In 1850 cannabis was entered in United States Pharmacopeia.
