The Origins of Marijuana

Marijuana has travelled a long way to make it here in Toronto from all the way across the world.

It is also now available at the Toronto cannabis dispensary, from where you can make an easy purchase.

The entire history of marijuana is all about different trade routes, cultures, migration patterns, degrees of acceptance by numerous states, incorporation into the state’s laws, and its amazing uses.

At first, the marijuana plant started its origin in Central Asia and started spreading its roots across the entire world.

Before domestication, the cannabis plant was dependent upon the movement of Pleistocene glaciers, to show up its presence in the Hindu Kush Mountains, Mongolia, Siberia, Afghanistan, South Asia, and the Huang He River Valley. As the plant takes its life from the sun, it does not show up its growth across the cold areas, and thus the glaciers prevented it from showing up growth.

The Discovery History of Marijuana

In 2500 BC, it was used in the Yanghai Tombs in the form of mummified cannabis. Back in 2900 BC, in the Czech Republic, the ancient cannabis marks its early uses as a hemp rope. Whereas in 3000 BC, the Siberian Pazyryk tribe used the seeds of the cannabis plant for fulfilling their nutritional needs. They also used it in burial mounds, where they burnt it up

A Chinese herbalist named Emperor Shen Nung was reported to be the first case of cannabis consumption, and in a small period, he categorized it further in more than 350+ medical herbs, some of which are still used in eastern medicines even today.

He proved that the cannabis plant is a pure remedy for malaria, gout, rheumatism, and many such ailments. In a small period, cannabis started strengthening its roots in Korea and Japan too.

How Cannabis Was Used in Different Cultures?
