    Place in History
    William Shakespeare was a 16th century English playwright who is widely considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, dramatists of all time. His plays, which include such classics such Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, and Hamlet, are still performed, adapted, and swooned over today.

    Place in ганжа History
    Researchers found traces of
    uncovered in the garden of Shakespeare's home in Stratford-upon-Avon. The pipes dated from the 17th century (Shakespeare died in 1616), so they are contemporary with Shakespeare. And Shakespeare wrote about
    . I think we can all guess what he was talking about...

    Why It's Awesome
    Remember those plays I mentioned earlier? Those aren't the only ones: Shakespeare also penned A Midsummer Night's Dream, Othello, and Macbeth. If smoking a bit of grass helped Shakespeare create masterpieces, then stoners everywhere have another reason to assure their parents that they are not, in fact, wasting their lives. I, for one, would love to see a sonnet composed by a contemporary pothead. Shall I compare thee to a Doritos Locos? Thou art more flavorful and delicious.







    Place in History
    Queen Victoria ruled the British Empire from 1837 until 1901. She is Britain's longest-ruling monarch and helped guide the country through the changes that came with industrialization and modernization.

    Place in ганжа History
    Queen Victoria was an extremely powerful woman, but she was still a woman. Which means that once a month she had PMS, with its annoying aches and pains. Unlike most women, Queen Victoria had a bevy of physicians at her beck and call, all of whom wanted to make their queen comfortable. Which is why her private physician, Sir Russell Reynolds, prescribed ганжа for her menstrual cramps
    . Reynolds noted that ганжа was "
    ." Though Queen Victoria probably did not light up, instead drinking a preparation with Канабис, she still took comfort from the drug.

    Why It's Awesome
    Ever hear of the Victorian era? This is the woman who embodied that repressed time period, during which it was considered scandalous to even
    . So it is awesome to think that the woman who led a nation in wearing corsets and eschewing all mention of bodily functions was secretly doping in order to cope with her PMS.

    Egyptian Pharaohs




    Place in History
    Before there was a United States of America, a British Empire, or even a Roman one, there was Egypt and its pharaohs. The pharaohs presided over a great civilization on the banks of the Nile River. Dynasties in Ancient Egyptian first gained power in
    .

    Place in ганжа History
    During their long reign, dynasties of Ancient Egypt started to use Канабис.
    .
    describe a multitude of medical uses for ганжа, including treatment for
    .

    Why It's Awesome
    These guys built the pyramids! Today most people still doesn't fully understand how Ancient Egypt was even able to build the pyramids, but they did it. So if Egyptian Pharaohs felt that using ганжа was a good idea,
    , maybe we should listen to them instead of Congress--which, by my count, has not built a single f**king pyramid.







    Place in History
    George Washington was a general who led the thirteen American colonies in their fight for independence from Britain. After successfully helping America become an independent country, Washington was chosen to be the first president of the United States of America.

    Place in ганжа History
    In addition to his war and presidential duties, George Washington was a tobacco farmer. Washington also cultivated hemp on his Mount Vernon farm--it was his
    . Washington was even interested in the medicinal properties of Канабис, making
    .

    Why It's Awesome
    George Washington is one of America's Founding Fathers. We all know he had wooden teeth, chopped down a cherry tree, and couldn't tell a lie. Why don't history textbooks include his hemp cultivation and interest in medical ганжа as well? If nothing else, it would be a great way to make kids excited to learn more about early U.S. history. Isn't helping kids get a well-rounded education the most important thing?








    Place in History
    Elizabeth I's dad was Henry VIII, the fat guy known for founding the Church of England when he couldn't get a divorce and chopping off his wives' heads. Elizabeth I took over the throne in 1558, after the death of her half-sister Mary, and ruled England until 1603.

    Place in ганжа History
    Elizabeth I may not have inhaled herself, but she made sure lots of other people had the chance to do just that.
    , Elizabeth I ruled that landowners with over 60 acres needed to grow Канабис among their other crops. If they didn't, they had to pay a
    .

    Why It's Awesome
    Instead of the criminalization of weed that persists today, Elizabeth I used her power to encourage its cultivation. If only today's leaders were half as open-minded as the 16th century Virgin Queen. Queen Elizabeth II, try to follow your namesake's lead now, hmm?







    Place in History
    Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who, under the aegis of the Spanish crown, first sailed to the New World in 1492. Columbus made four Atlantic crossings in total, bringing back information that spurred Spanish colonization of the New World and thus setting the scene for other European countries to found their own colonies.

    Place in ганжа History
    In 1492, Columbus's ships carried seeds of Канабис Sativa, thus making Columbus responsible for introducing ганжа to America. Columbus was carrying the seeds so that, in case of a shipwreck, his men would have the
    for supplies and food. And
    during their voyage in order to allay any fears about possibly sailing off the edge of the world?

    Why It's Awesome
    Okay, Columbus didn't "discover" America--there were already Native Americans here who knew exactly where the continent was. But, for better or worse, Columbus was the guy who told everyone in Europe where America was, thus setting the course for European and American history for the next few centuries. And because Columbus had already brought Канабис seeds with him on that first trip, he made sure that the course of American history was always going to include ганжа. Thanks, Chris!







    Place in History
    Hua Tuo was a respected Chinese scholar and doctor who lived during the Han dynasty. In approximately A.D. 200, Hua also devised the
    for performing surgery.

    Place in ганжа History
    The anesthesia that Hua concocted was called mafeisan. Mafeisan was made by
    . Sadly, the exact recipe for Hua's mafeisan is now unknown.

    Why It's Awesome
    Although the exact dates for Hua's birth and death are unknown, he lived from
    . Which means that nearly 2,000 years ago, Hua's patients were comfortably sedated for surgery, letting Hua perform operations that would be impossible in other parts of the world for centuries. In contrast, Western medicine started using anesthesia for surgeries in the 19th century.


    Scythians




    Place in History
    The Scythians were a people who formed nomadic tribes, traveling across Eastern Europe and Central Asia from about
    . Scythians were also fierce warriors. On the battlefield, Scythians were known to
    . Greek historian Herodotus described Scythian culture and rituals in his Histories.

    Place in ганжа History
    Scythians used ганжа in a ritual that paid homage to a fallen leader. After a burial, Scythians formed a tent with sticks and cloth, then
    inside the tent. The leaves smoked and filled the tent, Scythians entered the tent, and then proceeded to both get clean and get high. And because they were raiding cultures all over the place, Scythians helped spread knowledge of Канабис wherever they went.

    Why It's Awesome
    Okay, Scythians may have sown some destruction--drinking an enemy's blood is taking things a bit too far. But they shared their stash with the people they were raiding, which was decent of them. And if you have to wash off a lot of blood and gore, a "
    " sounds like the way to do it.







    Place in History
    Shennong was a legendary Chinese emperor who lived about 5,000 years ago. Shennong is credited with introducing both agriculture and the use of herbal medicine to China in approximately 2700 BC.

    Place in ганжа History
    Ancient China was the
    to use medical ганжа. Shennong suggested patients drink ганжа tea to combat
    .

    Why It's Awesome
    Shennong may be a legendary figure, but the fact remains that someone in ancient China was the first person in the world to figure out that ганжа was useful for more than making hemp rope. Being the first civilization in the world to discover ганжа's special properties is pretty f**king awesome.







    Place in History
    Ancient Greece provided the foundation for Western civilization. Ancient Greek civilization lasted from about 750 BC to A.D. 600, during which time the Greeks invented democracy, developed philosophy, and wrote plays and poems that are still studied and performed today.

    Place in ганжа History
    In addition to the above innovations, ancient Greeks also came up with some new uses for ганжа. They swallowed Канабис seeds to get rid of tapeworms and used
    . Unfortunately, their next idea was to give teenage boys ганжа in order to "
    ," so that the boys could make it through the night without unwanted ejaculations. Hopefully those patients at least had a few pleasant side effects.

    Why It's Awesome
    Nowadays teenage boys surely get more pleasure out of their ганжа use than boys in ancient Greece did. But at least the ancient Greeks were open to using Канабис, unlike most of the world today. And they got rid of tapeworm with ганжа, too. Let's face it, nobody likes tapeworms.

    William O'Shaughnessy (

    . He was so successful that other Western doctors soon began using the same treatments.

    Why It's Awesome
    William O'Shaughnessy brought ганжа to the attention of modern Western medicine. In America, starting in the 1840s, you could get ганжа almost anywhere, thanks to its inclusion in a multitude of
    . Without O'Shaughnessy, who knows how long it would've taken for Western medicine to clue into the benefits of Канабис?

    . Sadly, like most trends, the parlors disappeared, but they were probably awesome while they lasted.
