100 years of big money thrown to discredit cannabis, its community and the many benefits of cannabis, like killing cancer cells. Where are we today: with most of the world relaxing cannabis laws thousands of people still get arrested each day for use, cultivation and possession.

In 1925, Cannabis made its entry in international law via two treaties: the first one, signed in Brussels, acknowledged the health benefits of the plant, by including it among the monographs to be standardised across countries’ pharmacopoeias internationally.

For millennia, Cannabis has been intertwined with human civilisation, utilised for its fibre, seeds, health and psychoactive properties. Historical records across continents underline its significance as one of humanity’s longest plant allies. Contemporary advances in paleoarchaeology are not only showing that Cannabis was among the earliest domesticated plants, but also that humans have known and used all of its aspects and properties from time immemorial.
