Blow or marijuana is a native crop of Central and South Asian regions, and its first documented use of marijuana dates to 3000 BC. Many Chinese and Asian relics found in grave sites and funeral spots contain marijuana leaves and resin. Apart from Chinese and Eastern Asian regions, Ancient text 'Vedas' speaks of a plant that was worshiped and considered a medical relief 'Soma ' is associated to marijuana by many followers of text. Weed is naturally found in Himalayan Mountain Ranges, and is consumed and exported as a cash crop. Areas that are associated with indigenous blow production includes Nepal, India, Kashmir, and Pakistan.
People have used marijuana for meditational purposes since traditional times, many Nepali priests still meditate utilizing the plant, which helps them purify their mind and use it for concentration. It is well documented to have been used as a medical herb across the history. Its far-reaching use began with exporting of pot seeds and plants for wellness purposes to Northerly African Region, from where it made its way to Europe. This trade goes back as early as 500 A.D. In the western world it was used as a source of fiber. Marijuana plants were cultivated in abundance during tough times of World War II as the supply of hemp to western world from asiatic sources was halted due to tensions created by the war.
In the 19th century many literary classics mentions marijuana and try and describe its psychological facts, the trance it induces and how it is consumed, Les paradis artificiels by Charles Baudelaire and The Hasheesh Eater by Fitz Hugh Ludlow are favored example of such literature.
In the US, marijuana was employed as a pharmaceutical until 1942, It was used as a prescription drug to ease work pains, queasiness and fits. Many of us used it for its intoxicating effects as well even at that time. A campaign was launched by Bureau of Narcotics that portrayed marijuana use as addictive and a dynamic mind stimulant. This eventually gave birth to one of the most pointless disinformation film, Reefer Madness, which was produced by a church group. In the 1950s it was employed by Beatniks as a stimulant in their own words, while in the 1960s it was used by Hippies as a technique to fight with the person. This was when Buddhist/South Asian influence was high in music and literature of that time, and many folks were rebelling against war and evolving a more tranquil approach to life by meditating with marijuana and Buddhist way of life, the adaptation of marijuana use like their Buddhist teachers (as discussed above) was natural.
In 1970s Marijuana was classified a schedule I drug, which fundamentally meant being the most abused drug and no medical use whatsoever. Most of the Marijuana made its way through the southern border of United States of America from Mexico, but political pressures and actions by authority ceased the trade to a great extent. In the 1980s Reagan Administration applied a no tolerance policy which exterminated all of drug trade from southern borders, which led to indoor cultivation, California being the hotbed for production. These strict policies led to decreased Marijuana usage in the late 1980s. Cannabis was legal in India till 1980s, but it was made illegal by the political pressures by the US and the administrations stern policies. 1990s once more saw an increase in marijuana consumption, especially among college students.
Discussions have triggering since the 1990s about the medicinal properties and potential use of the Plant. And since then, over 15 states in the US have either legalized medical use of Marijuana or decriminalized it.
