Marijuana has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. It was used as a medicine in the US up until the 1937, when it was made illegal. History shows, even President Lincoln smoked hemp. There have been thousand of medical studies, worldwide, which prove the benefits of marijuana use as a medicine. The ban on marijuana is political/economics, it really has very little to do with the value of marijuana as a medicine.

Answer 2

umm start what? Growing? It's probably as old as if not older than humans. It was used in hundreds of ways over thousands of years. The first American flag sewn by Betsy Ross was made from hemp. At the time there was no distinction between marijuana and hemp. Plus it was grown by George Washington, consumed by king Ferdinand and queen Isabella, and millions before, between, and since. It was only made illegal by the tax stamp act and only really enforced beginning in the 60s. So when did what start? Cannabis is indigenous to Central and South Asia. Evidence of the inhalation of cannabis smoke can be found in the 3rd millennium B.C as indicated by charred cannabis seeds found in a ritual brazier at an ancient burial site in present day Romania. Cannabis is also known to have been used by the ancient Hindus and Nihang Sikhs of India and Nepal thousands of years ago. The herb was called Ganjika in Sanskrit (गांजा/গাঁজা Ganja in modern Indic laungauges). The ancient drug Soma, mentioned in the Vedas, was sometimes associated with cannabis. Also early Egyptian carvings of the goddess Seshat have depicted here with some form of leaf above her head that resembles that of a cannabis leaf, but it could just as easily be a palm leaf.
