So, cannabis sativa is one man with many lives
Rubbing its flower and bud makes HASH
By drying its bud we make WEED
And its leaves and seed makes BHAANG
Actually it contains THC, that is Tetrahydrocannabinol
which is a psychoactive chemical compound that affects your mind
Let’s start it’s story from the beginning
It all started around 8000 BC
and it was among the initial crop grown
when farming began
So, it can be called as the father of all plants
In ancient China, it was used for creating cloth, rope and later paper
The first time someone got high from it was the Chinese emperor Shen Nang in 2737 BC, he used it as medicine
After that chinese mixed it with their food and
Indians mixed it with a drink called Bhaang.
After that Cannabis said – Life is a path, and whosoever stops that’s definitely not me.
And during middle ages, it was really popular in middle east, they called it Hashish or simply grass
Christopher Columbus brought cannabis to US in 1492, so basically Columbus introduced US to the world and cannabis to US, thereby making everybody happy. Isn’t that sign of being a perfect leader.
I think so, what do you think?
During 1600’s Cannabis was growing by leaps and bounds, but by the late 1800’s there was a rising concern about drug overuse.
And following this in 1906, US passed ‘The Pure Food and Drug Act’ and labelled cannabis as dangerous to health, that means just like the cigarette packets of today, cannabis packets also started showing the boiled guy.
During Mexican revolution, when thousand of Mexicans migrated to US, they introduced the term Marihuana. But by 1961, UN banned Marijuana and labelled it as schedule 1 drug, that means Marijuana was included in the category of Cocaine and Heroine, that means our street guy became an international don overnight.
His promotion is no less than that of Dawood.
India then, refused to ban because it was then the backbone of ayurvedic medicine.
But in 1985, under the influence of US, Rajiv Gandhi government finally banned marijuana in India.
So, if you think that our Father’s, Grandfather’s were simple and innocent, so no my friend, a number of them were stoners, pothead and used to score stuff.
No, not father, as it was banned by then.
Currently Marijuana is legal in 40+ countries and in 2013 Uruguay became the first country to completely legalise Marijuana for both medical and recreational use.
And by the way, the first thing that was ever bought or sold across the internet was a bag of marijuana in 1971, so don’t forget, who is the daddy.
