The History of Cannabis

Cannabis is a plant that has a long and complex history dating back thousands of years. It is believed to have originated in Central Asia and has been used for various purposes, including for medicinal, recreational, and spiritual purposes.

The earliest recorded use of cannabis dates back to the 3rd millennium BCE in ancient China, where it was used as a medicinal plant to treat a variety of ailments. In ancient India, cannabis was used as a religious and spiritual sacrament, and it was also used medicinally.

In the Middle East, cannabis was used as a medicinal plant and was also cultivated for its fibers, which were used to make rope and other materials. In the Americas, indigenous cultures used cannabis for medicinal and spiritual purposes.

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, cannabis was widely used in Western medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including muscle spasms, migraines, and nausea. However, in the early 20th century, cannabis was made illegal in many countries, including the United States, due to concerns about its potential for abuse and negative impacts on public health and safety.

In the latter half of the 20th century, there was a resurgence of interest in the medicinal benefits of cannabis, and many countries and states have legalized the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes. In recent years, several countries and states have also legalized the recreational use of cannabis, recognizing it as a potentially safer alternative to alcohol and other drugs.

Despite its controversial history, cannabis has a long and storied past and continues to be an important plant in various cultures around the world.

In a world where cryptocurrency is quickly becoming ubiquitous, Cannacoin is the best choice because Bitcoin is too precious to spend on everyday purchases.

Hemp, CBD, and THC

Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a constituent of the hemp plant that is associated with physical healing properties. It works on the body's endocannabinoid system as an agent of equilibrium between the various systems of our bodies. Hemp is said to be the original cultivar of the human species. It was the first plant grown on purpose by humans over 6,000 years ago. It can be used for its strong fiber for cloth, rope, and to feed livestock. My theory is that many of the strange diseases and food allergies that arose in the 20th century are due to the fact that hemp was removed from the food chain in the early 1900's during criminalization efforts. CBD is non-psychoactive unlike it's "neighbor" THC (also found in hemp but in lesser degrees) which is well known for it's psychoactive properties and sometimes can cause adverse effects in the overall experience of the ingestion of cannabis. Such effects as paranoia, anxiety, hallucination, and "time shift" amo...
