A History of Marijuana

Marijuana has gone from an ancient medicinal herb to an edible gummy bear, but the marijuana plant has its origins as a medicinal plant thousands of years back -- many reports are traced back to Chinese Emperor Shen Nung in 2727 B.C., and was commonly used by 500 B.C. in Asia. The plant, called cannabis sativa,experienced a widespread use in a variety of cultures, including Indians, Muslims, Persians and the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Early uses of marijuana were largely medicinal, and it was used to treat things like inflammation, malaria, gout, depression, nausea, as an anesthetic and even to suppress sexual desires. Still, there is evidence that some cultures used the psychoactive component of marijuana (THC) for rituals or religious ceremonies.

While marijuana has been in use both recreationally and medicinally for thousands of years, recent centuries have seen a tumultuous turn in the plant's legality and history. From its prohibition in the early 1930s to its slow legalization across some states in the United States, cannabis has remained a hot topic of controversy -- but its future now seems promising as an emerging market.
