Cannabis: History, Legalization, Regulation, & the Public Health Model

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“The first recorded mention of cannabis as therapy is 2000 years before the common era (BCE) in the pharmacopeia of Chinese medicine. In the ancient Near East, it was ground into a paste with honey and inserted vaginally to ease the pain of childbirth. Caesar’s physician used the oil from seeds to alleviate earaches. Queen Victoria’s physician prescribed it for menstrual cramps. It’s ironic to contemplate that 100 years ago cannabis tinctures were widely used and doctors knew all about it and how it worked for various conditions. One hundred years later, doctors know almost nothing.”
