It wasn’t just over the past century or two that humans discovered the benefits of marijuana. Its first documented use dates back to more than 4700 years ago by people living in China. It was during this time that the Emperor, Shen Nung, allowed marijuana to be prescribed as treatment for gout, malaria, gas pains, and other ailments. There is also documentation showing usage of marijuana in the Americas back in the 1500s. And it was just at the end of the 1800s that reports from all over the world were being distributed supporting the medical reasons to use this amazing plant.
