Marijuana history
marijauna,
marihuana, mary jane or whatever you call it has been around a
long time.
Cannabis was well
known to the Scythians, as well as by the Thracians/Dacians,
whose shamans (the kapnobatai - "those who walk on
smoke/clouds") used to burn marijuana flowers in order to
induce trances. The cult of Dionysus, which is believed to have
been originated in Thrace, has also been linked to the effects
of marijuana smoke. The most famous users of marijuana though
were the ancient Hindus. According to legend, Shiva, the
destructive aspect of the Hindu trinity, told his disciples to
use the hemp plant in all ways possible. Marijuana is also
thought by some to be the ancient drug soma, mentioned in the
Vedas as a sacred intoxicating hallucinogen, although a number
of advocates for different psychoactive substances such as
Amanita muscaria and Salvia divinorum make this claim as well.
Also, the Zulu smoked marijuana before battle.
Marijuana has
been used as an agent for achieving euphoria since ancient
times; it was described in a Chinese medical compendium
traditionally considered to date from 2737 BC Its use spread
from China to India and then to N Africa and reached Europe at
least as early as AD 500. A major crop in colonial North
America, marijuana (hemp) was grown as a source of fiber. It was
extensively cultivated during World War II, when Asian sources
of hemp were cut off.
Marijuana was listed in the United States Pharmacopeia
from 1850 until 1942 and was prescribed for various conditions
including labor pains, nausea, and rheumatism. Its use as an
intoxicant was also commonplace from the 1850s to the 1930s. A
campaign conducted in the 1930s by the U.S. Federal Bureau of
Narcotics (now the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs)
sought to portray marijuana as a powerful, addicting substance
that would lead users into narcotics addiction. It is still
considered a “gateway” drug by some authorities. In the
1950s it was an accessory of the beat
generation ; in the 1960s it was used by college students
and “hippies” and became a symbol of rebellion against
authority.
The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 classified marijuana along
with heroin and LSD as a Schedule I drug, i.e., having the
relatively highest abuse potential and no accepted medical use.
Most marijuana at that time came from Mexico, but in 1975 the
Mexican government agreed to eradicate the crop by spraying it
with the herbicide paraquat, raising fears of toxic side
effects. Colombia then became the main supplier. The “zero
tolerance” climate of the Reagan and Bush administrations
(1981-93) resulted in passage of strict laws and mandatory
sentences for possession of marijuana and in heightened
vigilance against smuggling at the southern borders. The “war
on drugs” thus brought with it a shift from reliance on
imported supplies to domestic cultivation (particularly in
Hawaii and California). Beginning in 1982 the Drug Enforcement
Administration turned increased attention to marijuana farms in
the United States, and there was a shift to the indoor growing
of plants specially developed for small size and high yield.
After over a decade of decreasing use, marijuana smoking began
an upward trend once more in the early 1990s, especially among
teenagers, but by the end of the decade this upswing had leveled
off well below former peaks of use.
