IN THE BEGINNING
The earliest known Cannabis writings were penned by Chinese Emperor, Chen Nung, circa 2727 B.C. Its use was also commonplace among the ancient Greeks and Romans eventually spreading to the Middle East and extending to Northern Africa. It wasn’t until 1545 that introduction to the west occurred when it was imported to Chile by merchant Spaniards. Grown and harvested on multiple plantations in the Northern US, its hemp fibers were used in the making of rope, paper goods and other textiles such as cloth. It has been used by cultures all over the world for thousands of years!
