Ancient people in Asia used marijuana as medicine for thousands of years. Medical marijuana is listed in ancient Chinese texts as a cure for many ailments . In the ancient Middle East there is a strong history for the use of medical marijuana, and some linguists have suggested that the word cannabis derived from the ancient Hebrew term for fragrant reed which is Kaneh Bosm. In ancient Thrace, marijuana was used ritualistically and for pleasure. And in ancient Rome writers documented the use of marijuana edibles to promote hilarity.

The early explorers of North America valued marijuana for both its fabric making capabilities and its medicinal uses. George Washington and Ben Franklin both advocated the farming of marijuana crops for all Americans.

Napoleon preferred his soldiers to smoke marijuana rather than drink alcohol because it didn’t create the negative affects the next morning that alcohol is known to create.

During prohibition in the united states of America, marijuana was advocated by the women’s temperance movement as a safer alternative to drinking alcohol. Also in America, marijuana-based medicines were available in most drug stores up until the late 1940s.

Why Is Medical Marijuana Illegal?

The criminalization of medical marijuana denies people a holistic and natural remedy that he’s been known for centuries. It is obvious that marijuana has medicinal value. Therefore, it is only logical that marijuana be removed from being classified as a schedule one narcotic and instead be listed as a schedule two or less.
