We don’t know when the Cannabis plant came into being as it has been around as far back as we can tell. The earliest known uses of the plant were as hemp rope found in China as old as 10,000 BC. Through archeology and discoveries we have found that the Chinese also used hemp cloth in their burial rites, and in medicine to heal and remove pain from the afflicted. The Cannabis plant has been used in medicine for thousands of years.  The plant migrated across Europe much later and was found in Greece around 600 BC. In the middle ages it was found in Egypt and despite the government’s attempts to ban the use of Cannabis at the time because the Koran explicitly bans alcohol, but not Cannabis the government was unsuccessful in their attempts to remove the plant from within their borders.

Napoleon invaded Egypt and attempted to assume power, and uphold the ban the government had been trying to place on its people and the use of Cannabis, but even Napoleon was ineffective in this as many of his soldiers went back to France with many wonderful stories and tales of the magical herb and its amazing effects on the human body.

THC didn’t reach America until the 19^th century. In the early 20^th century the American government had an office called The Federal Bureau of Narcotics. An official working there by the name of Harry J Anslinger who held the position at the time of Assistant Prohibition Commissioner made it his personal Vendetta to attack Marijuana.
