What is Science Telling Us About Cannabis and Its Impact on Society?

The first scientific mention of the weed dates back to 1542 when the German botanist Leonard Fuchs placed a new object called Cannabis sativa on the pages of his book Description of Plants. However, the history of hemp cultivation had begun long before the discovery of Fuchs, as early as 2350 BC. The ancient Egyptians used cannabis for medical and household purposes. The oldest medical prescription dates back to 1700 BC and presents a recipe for eye ointment. Just like our ancestors, we can buy delta 8 THC legally today because cannabis remains an extremely important herb in medicine.
