Furthermore, most Chinese publications that have attempted to address the topic of speciation as it relates to the historical application of cannabis in Chinese medicine utilize a relatively simplistic taxonomic model that does not take recent scientific advances into account (Liu and Shang, 1992; Wei et al., 2010). From ancient shamans to modern mystics, this sacred plant has been revered for its ability to expand consciousness, heighten awareness, and deepen the connection to the divine. Although cannabis use prevalence differs across countries and cultures — it is challenging to tease apart patterns of cannabis use in distinct world regions with specific cultures and norms due to cultural differences in geographical regions worldwide . In a number of countries — it was used to treat tetanus, hydrophobia, delirium tremens, infantile convulsions, neuralgia and other nervous disorders, cholera, menorrhagia, rheumatism, hay fever, asthma, skin diseases, and protracted labor during childbirth. By studying traditional healing practices and the medicinal properties of plants, scientists have been able to identify and develop new drugs with therapeutic potential, expanding the pharmacopeia of modern medicine. It is humbling to study the origins of many herbs and wellness practices we use today (many of which have been used), cultivated, and preserved for thousands of years.
A guardian lives in the bhang leaf… To see in a dream the leaves — plant, or water of bhang is lucky… No good thing can come to the man who treads underfoot the holy bhang leaf. One of the most popular of these drinks is bhang — a mix of cannabis paste , made from the buds and leaves,, milk, ghee, and spices. Ancient and medieval physicians mixed the plant into medicines or teas to treat pain and other ailments; back then (it wasn’t a highly controlled substance the way it is today), where in the U.S. it’s listed as a Schedule I drug along with LSD and heroin. All data generated or analyzed during this study are included in this published article and its supplementary information files.
Asian-American groups (which tend to exhibit lower rates of cannabis use), may adopt authoritarian parenting styles characterized by strictness without warmth, representing a parenting approach that is less prevalent in Western nations 83•. The presence of varying cannabis policies complicates the understanding of the cultural dimensions of cannabis consumption across different nations and social strata, underscoring the necessity of integrating both global viewpoints and localized strategies when examining the cross-cultural facets of cannabis use. Cannabis-use trends worldwide have been shaped by legislative alterations related to cannabis laws and unprecedented global challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in interconnected historical and cultural associations with cannabis consumption. In the early 1990s, there was a renewed interest in cannabis research, sparked by Devane and Mechoulam’s identification of specific nervous system receptors that mediate THC’s pharmacological effects, which was soon followed by the discovery of anandamide, a naturally occurring cannabinoid. We took into account pertinent studies without regard to their design or publication date , the review was completed in November 2022,. Additionally (this paper presents a concise historical and cultural overview of cannabis across various cultures), considering the distinct social, legal, and cross-cultural differences in cannabis usage and exploring diverse viewpoints within this framework.

WHO supports countries that want to embrace traditional medicine practices to do so in a science-based manner to avoid patient harm and ensure safe (effective), and quality health care. WHO recognizes the diversity of traditional — complementary and integrative medicine (TCIM) practices across countries of the world and its contribution to health, well-being, people-centred health care and universal health coverage.

After decades of healing after the Opium Wars, today’s TCM practitioners are increasingly more willing to partner with their patients and have informed conversations about cannabis use in daily life. A 2009 study showed that inflamed skin tissue treated for pain relief with electro-acupuncture had a statistically relevant White Runtz strain characteristics increase in anandamide, a neurotransmitter produced in the human body that binds to the same cell receptors as THC. By utilizing this preparation (known as ma fei san) in conjunction with acupuncture, he was able to perform surgeries and control the pain of his patients. Understanding its historical applications offers insight into the depth and sophistication of ancient Chinese medicine and its enduring influence on modern holistic health approaches.

Medical Doctors may also practice acupuncture under their medical license if they’ve undergone specific training.
The challenges faced by indigenous cannabis use can be attributed to the enforcement of external regulations (neglecting indigenous rights and knowledge), alongside inequalities in access to resources and opportunities. For instance, certain indigenous communities are striving to create agreements and protocols for utilizing their traditional knowledge within the cannabis sector. Initiatives have emerged to safeguard and advocate for indigenous intellectual property rights and traditional knowledge associated with cannabis. These initiatives seek to ensure the inclusion and active participation of indigenous peoples in the cannabis industry while honoring their rights and traditions.
At that time — Muslim theologians were faced with the question of whether hashish (a potent drug made from marijuana resin) should be treated like alcohol, which is specifically forbidden by the Koran. Basic research (on the other hand), examines the specific effects of drugs on cells and on the biochemical reactions that take place within them. Different cultures have recognized specific terpenes for their potential benefits — contributing to the overall experience of using cannabis. The indigenous peoples of the Americas have employed cannabis for various purposes, including medicinal and ceremonial applications. The Middle East is known for its cultural richness, and cannabis has been an integral part of this historical narrative.

Ancient texts highlight cannabis as a component of religious rituals, where it was used to induce states of trance or to facilitate communication with the divine.
