The Cannabis ( Hemp ) plant evolved from North China at the dawn of civilization and is believed to be the first cultivated fiber plant. The earliest archaeological record of the use of fiber from Cannabis was in China twelve thousand years ago. Archaeologists unearthed an old Neolithic site at Yuan-Shan, and among the remains dug up included pottery with hemp cord marking on it along with a rod-shaped stone beater, used to pound hemp. Cannabis (Hemp) was also used to make such items as fishing nets, rope, clothes, and paper. The Chinese are thought to have invented hemp paper. Cannabis seed was used for food and cannabis oil. Finding hemp used for cultivation in this date range Cannabis is one of the first and oldest known human agriculture crops. Carl Sagan in 1977 proposed the possibility that marijuana may have actually been the world's first agricultural crop, leading to the development of civilization itself.

Its use spread from China to Korea, India and then to Eastern Africa. In India, the plant was celebrated in one of the Sanskrit Vedic hymns as a herb that could ?release us from anxiety.? Ancient doctors prescribed marijuana for pain relief but also advised against using it too much as it could cause the user to ?see devils.?

The first detailed modern description of the utility of cannabis-based products as an anti-seizure medication was published in 1843 by W.B. O'Shaughnessy, the physician in the Bengal Army and Late Professor of Chemistry and Materia Medical at the Medical College of Calcutta. After testing the behavioral effects of various preparations of Cannabis Indica in healthy fish, dogs, swine, vultures, crows, horses, dears, monkeys, goats, sheep, cows, and military assistants, he investigated the potential value of extracts of the plant in patients with different disorders and reported remarkable anti-seizure effects in a 40-days-old baby girl with recurrent convulsive seizures. These observations were taken up by other physicians, including Sir William Gowers ( BMA head office at Gower Street, London ! ), who described the effectiveness of Cannabis Indica against seizures resistant to bromides.

An Egyptian papyrus from about 1500 B.C. makes mention of cannabis as a useful way to treat inflammation. In the Arab world, references to hashish began to show up between 800 A.D. and 1000 A.D. The plant's intoxicating effects began to be emphasized around this time. Muslims used marijuana recreationally since alcohol consumption was banned by the Koran but marijuana was not. Hindus in India revered the use of marijuana in a mildly intoxicating drink called bhang, saying that it cured a long list of ills, including problems with sunstroke, digestion and dysentery.

Hinduism has been the primary religion in the region of India referring historically to the lands around the Indus river and valley. The Sanskrit word for cannabis bhang or bhanga is believed to have been the source for the Arabic word benj and Persian beng. Cannabis has a long and rich history in this part of the world can still be found growing wild in many areas today ? particularly in regions at the foothills of the Himalayas. The Vedas and Cannabis. Our knowledge of the use of cannabis in ancient Indian societies comes largely from ancient Hindu scriptures known as The Vedas. These sacred texts were recorded in the written word between 1500-500 BCE. Before

this, it is believed the teachings of The Vedas were passed from master to student for generations and memorized to keep the original message intact. In the Vedas, Cannabis is listed as one of the five sacred crops alongside barley and soma (an unidentified plant of which the juice was a ritual drink). It is believed that the plant has been used as part of Ayurveda (traditional medicine) since the Vedic Period and it is largely associated with the god Shiva. Various Hindu legends tell of the god Shiva and his consumption of cannabis referred to as bhang. During my young age when I was about to go to college, we found that after the ending of the Puja festival the elders were sharing BHANG just for one evening. I am not talking about ordinary people but very high profile people. We were born in the Tata Steel city where everyone was affluent and some of the elderly will never smoke (they did not smoke but drank purified cannabis termed as Siddhi) or drink alcohol but on they will have a taste of Siddhi (which is cannabis) day they will, For example, the story of the Hindu gods churning up the cosmic ocean to access the elixir of immortality (Amrit). Some versions of this legend state that cannabis began to grow where drops of this elixir fell.

Another version states that when the god of destruction, Shiva, was called upon to drink the poison that was produced from the churned ocean, his throat turned blue and he was in immense pain until he was given bhang by his wife, Parvati. While there are a number of stories in Hinduism usually surrounding Shiva ? that reference cannabis use. However, these tales didn't particularly promote the use of cannabis as an intoxicant or medicine. Many believe that these tales warn of the toxicity of the plant when consumed in the wrong way and so, traditional preparations focus on purifying the toxic properties of cannabis. Despite the references to the toxicity of cannabis, the link between plant and the divine in ancient Hindu culture has resulted in the use of cannabis by holy people in their attempts to become closer to their chosen God, Shiva. Furthermore, while cannabis is technically prohibited in India, this law does not include the leaves of the plant. Therefore, it is not uncommon to witness the consumption of bhang, particularly on the festival night of Shivaratri. Ask any Hindu anywhere in the world and they would know about Shivaratri. Christians celebrate Christmas day with some hard stuff, but Hindus celebrated with a drink of Bhang for many millenniums.

Cannabis has been used as part of Hindu spiritual practices and traditional medicine for perhaps thousands of years. However, the earliest mention of ?bhang? ? a Sanskrit word for cannabis ? as a medicine has been traced back to the works of Sushruta, believed to have been written between 500-600 AD. The Sushruta refers to cannabis as ?anti-phlegmatic? (and recommended as a remedy for catarrh accompanied by diarrhea and a cure for biliary fever. In Ayurveda, cannabis has mainly been used to treat conditions of the digestive and respiratory tracts. However, there is also evidence in later literary sources that cannabis has been used to treat other ailments including epilepsy and asthma.

In addition to the medicinal and spiritual uses of the plant, Ancient Indians would also have used the hemp plant for industrial purposes similar to those seen in other regions at the time. For example, hemp fibers have been used in the production of textiles including clothing for thousands of years. There is evidence that ancient Indian technicians may have been the first to practice hempcrete technology a form of plaster that contains bhang mixed with clay or lime plaster. The natural insecticide and pesticide properties of hemp fibers are thought to have helped preserve artwork in the Ellora cave for almost 1500 years! I would discuss these in the following pages.
