Utilised by many cultures throughout history, the cannabis plant has been documented to provide therapeutic properties all over the world. The first reported use of cannabis [verified by archaeological findings and evidence] was attributed to the Chinese Emperor III Shen Nung [ca. 2700 BCE]. Found in the publication [Shen-Nung Pen-Tsao Ching // Divine Husbandman's Materia Medica] were the uses and applications provided by the plant; including appetite stimulation, rheumatic pain, constipation.

[Egypt, ca 2350 BCE] It is reported that pyramid scriptures exhibit the plant as the "shemshemet plant" translating to "which ropes are made from."

[India, 800-300 BCE] It was reported in the Sushruta Samhita [a prominent medical journal cataloging more than 1000 illnesses and over 700 medicinal plants] that the use of cannabis is recommended for illness such as diarrhoea, catarrh & phlegm producing conditions of the chest.
