Cannabis

10,000-year History of Marijuana utilization in the World


8,000+ BCE Use of hemp cord in pottery identified at ancient village site going back over 10,000 years, located in the division of modern day Taiwan. Finding hemp use and cultivation with this time frame puts becoming one of the first and oldest known human agriculture crops. As explained by Richard Hamilton from the 2009 Scientific American article on sustainable agriculture "Modern humans emerged some 250,000 in years past, yet agriculture is a reasonably recent invention, no more than 10,000 years ... Agriculture is not natural; it is just a human invention. Additionally it is the premise of modern civilization." This aspect has also been discussed by Carl Sagan in 1977 whilst proposed the chance that marijuana might have been world's first agricultural crop, ultimately causing the introduction of civilization itself (see 1977, below).
