History of Cannabis

Ample evidence indicates that the human community has  had a very long and fruitful connection with cannabis. Some researchers suggest that a conservative estimate for the beginnings of human (Homo sapiens) use of cannabis might be around twelve thousand years ago. Solid archaeological evidence of the relationship-including shamanic use-goes back at least to the Neolithic age, roughly 7,500 years ago. Some researchers have even suggested that we’ve coevolved with the cannabis plant over many millennia.

We have it on good record that for at least the past several thousand years its uses have been extensive. Just a few of the great many include its applicability as food, medicine, heating fuel, household products, building materials, paper products, rope, netting, clothing, a base for paints and cosmetics, for pleasure and creative inspiration, and, most relevant to the subject  freeing ourselves from “the weary round of matter-blinded self.”
