Definition

  • Cannabis (the preferred usage), or marijuana, is one of the oldest drugs known to humankind. Its use in antiquity is well documented; it was cultivated in China as early as 4000 B.C.E. and in Turkestan in 3000 B.C.E. Experts believe that its use as a cultigen predates those dates by at least four millennia. [Source: Encyclopedia of Transnational Crime & Justice; Marijuana or Cannabis]
