Marijuana History

Marijuana has roots as far back as 2737 B.C.

It has been referenced in ancient Chinese medicine, and soon spread from China to India, North Africa, and Europe by 500 A.D. Historically reported medicinal uses included treating rheumatism, gout, and malaria.

Recreational use became popular in India and among the Muslim population, leading to the development and popularization of hashish (concentrated psychoactive resins from the cannabis plant)

• Can help treat appetite loss associated with certain conditions and certain types of cancers

Appropriate Marijuana Dosage.

There are no official recommendations on what is a safe amount of THC to take. This is in part because more research is needed to determine what is a safe dose. Also, cannabis affects people differently depending upon:

• The particular type of product
• How much is used
• How you take it
• Your level of tolerance

This makes it challenging for professionals to tell us how much THC is safe. Future research may lead to more information on this.
