Top 10 Marijuana Healing Methods Posted: 23 Jan 2013 09:32 PM PST Page1 2 Given the recent rash of media attention regarding the healing powers of marijuana, one may think to believe that the medical use of cannabis is a new phenomenon. Certainly, our governments act as if marijuana were a recently invented drug, wanting lengthy testing before they will consider not arresting and imprisoning med-pot users. Yet, the cannabis plant can be considered one of humanity’s oldest cultural objects and we are more than positive that it was among the first medicines ancient people took from nature’s pharmacopoeia. The shadowy time of pre-history may be left speculatively, but there is a written recorded history of medical cannabis stretching back 4000 years ago. Origins of Marijuana: The earliest written reference to the use of marijuana as a medicine was around 2,800 BC in the Pen Ts’ao, a medical compilation belonging to legendary Chinese Emperor Shen-Nung. Although the older copies of the Pen Ts’ao dates to 100 AD, most scholars agree that the nameless author combined more ancient versions into his writing. As Emperor, Shen-Nung was concerned that the priests were incapable of effectively treating the illnesses of their subjects by executing magical rites, so he decided to find substitute remedies for the sick. The Emperor was also an expert botanist and had a thorough knowledge of plants. With this in mind, certainly taken alongside the knowledge of native folk remedies, Shen-Nung decided to search for the healing powers of plants using himself as the test subject. Like the practice of medicine around the world, early Chinese doctoring was based on the notion of demons. If a person were ill, it was thought that he/she was invaded by some demon. The only way to treat him was to drive the demon out. The early priest-doctors used all kinds of tricks, some of which were rather sophisticated, like drug therapy, which we will examine shortly. Other methods involved outright magic. The priest-doctor did his best to find some way of getting the malicious demon believed responsible for an illness out. Among the weapons to come out of the magical kit bag of the ancient Chinese conjurers were the cannabis stalks. Armed with canabis stalk, Chinese conjurers went on to battle with the unseen enemy on his home ground – the sickbed. Standing over the body of the stricken patient, his cannabis stalk poised to strike, the priest hit the bed and ordered the demon to go away. If the illness was psychological and the patient had faith in the magician, he/she would recovered. If his problem was organic, he/she  would seldom improved.
