We can stop thinking of Cannabis in the modern sense and instead chose to see it from a very human perspective. In modern terms, yes, Cannabis is nothing more than a filthy plant that makes you hungry and stupid for a few hours. Those effects have apparently earned it a place next to Heroin as a Schedule 1 narcotic. In ancient terms, however, Cannabis is celebrated the world over and has been for many thousands of years. There is no doubt it helped influence, at least in some small way, the development of mankind. It was very revered and celebrated and sacred. Used to meet with Gods face to face.
