MEDICAL CANNABIS
A SHORT GRAPHICAL HISTORY
INDIA



THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY


The following article originally published in the 19th Century Journal [The Indian Antiquary] entitled “The Hemp Plant in Sanskrit and Hindi Literature,” which contains a great deal of useful information on the subject of Cannabis and Indian medical history.   However, notice that its author (although knowledgeable on the subject), is also having a hard time documenting its medical uses before the 500 AD barrier.   Yes he can quote some religious texts, but where are the medical books.
