Here world

The weave of the net introduces the history of cannabis: from fiber, drugs to addictive products.

Recently, actor Jaycee Chan and Ke Zhendong were arrested by Beijing police for smoking drugs and cannabis, causing people to pay attention to addictive products.

The newly published "addiction five hundred years" is a comprehensive study of psychology, medicine, economics, culture, ecology and other fields. It introduces in detail all the items that can make people addicted, as well as the economy, culture and war behind the addictive products.

Part of this special excerpt on marijuana products is intended for readers.

India's marijuana complex

Hemp originated in Central Asia, and was first planted in China more than 6000 years ago.

Cannabis is a high value crop with many uses. In addition to extracting addictive products, products include edible oil, edible hemp seeds, livestock feed and hemp fiber.

The Chinese use hemp fibers to make ropes, nets and clothing materials for the civilian population, because silk goods are only affordable to the wealthy.

Because marijuana has wide uses and strong toughness, it can be planted in all climates from sea level to above 3000 meters above sea level, so it will become a widely planted crop.

The role of cannabis stimulates the minds of many societies, especially India.

As early as 2000 B.C. - 1400 years ago, there were records of large narcotic drugs in India's ancient books.

Ancient anesthetics are made from dry or dried leaves, seeds and stems of wild or planted male plants and female plants. They usually contain sugar, black pepper, water or milk. This is the lightest of traditional India hemp modulation methods.

Cannabis is made from a planted female corolla, and contains a rich four hydrogen cannabinol, which is 2 to 3 times as effective as the anesthetic.

Cannabis smoke can be smoked or taken orally, it's not clear when people began to eat in ancient India.

The processed resin extracted from the female plant hemp is cannabis resin.

India is known as the world's first country to advocate the use of cannabis. Doctors will prescribe oral cannabis to treat infectious diseases such as malaria or rheumatism.

General folk therapy also uses cannabis, and it is used to eliminate irritability and fatigue, especially in the harvest season.

Soldiers drink big anesthetics to embolden them, and the monks use it to calm nerves, and newlyweds use it to enhance their taste.

After the British occupation of India, marijuana was considered an anesthetic and opposed to use.

By twentieth Century, the westernized ruling class of India also opposed it.

Most people and elites mostly tolerate mild anesthetics which are mild in efficacy. After all, people from all walks of life are taken.

As for marijuana smoking and cannabis fat, it will be reminiscent of the underprivileged at the bottom of society, so it is becoming increasingly unacceptable.

Spaniards began planting cannabis in the colony in sixteenth Century, until the cannabis agriculture flourished in California for a period of early nineteenth Century.

The French and the British also planted cannabis in colonial areas. The colonial powers used cannabis to collect hemp fibers, mainly for the use of the ship's cables. They never valued the medicinal value of the hemp and their efficacy in affecting the mental state.

The views of slave labour introduced by the great powers are different.

Slaves from Angola brought marijuana to sugarcane gardens in northeastern Brazil and became a fixed crop after 1549.

The native Indians and the mixed blood of the Europeans and Indians learned to use cannabis as a medicinal herb and to get in touch with each other. Later, the workers in the city also learned.

Anthropologist Vera Rubin calls this use mode "marijuana complex", which includes rope and clothing, food and spices, refreshment and supplements, medicinal herbs and pastime.

In the late nineteenth Century and early twentieth Century, the centre of marijuana smoke in the Americas moved from Brazil to the Caribbean.

The pfer process is similar to the globalization of opium smoking. The key factors are immigration and long-distance pportation.

Since the end of slavery in the American colonies since 1838, sugarcane gardens are facing a shortage of cheap labour.

The owner of the colonial farm entered into the contract helpers from India, and nearly 500 thousand of them arrived in the Caribbean.

The cannabis complex also came along with them, which made the white society unhappy.

In 1913, an editorial in Jamaica once said, "we have seen the coolly shy shy gardeners who are crazy after taking this plant."

The article also points out that this thing spreads to the island of African Americans and becomes a crop that African Americans like to grow. This is not a good phenomenon. It may cause similar disasters to China's opium problem in the future.

The fact is not far from this prediction.

By the year 1970s, 60% of the male adult population in Jamaica had smoked marijuana, half of which was highly addicting. It was also common for people to use marijuana to make tea or act as a tonic and refreshment.

In the 30 years after 1900, more than 1 million Mexico laborers entered the southwestern United States, and the custom of smoking marijuana followed them into the United States.

Tens of thousands of people spread to the central and western regions and found jobs in railways, construction sites and factories, reaching the farthest distance to Chicago.

At that time, the ongoing cigarette revolution taught Americans to use their lungs to inhale the addictive products, which led to the spread of marijuana smoke. The abundant supply of cannabis in the United States was another boost.

Criminals in Tennessee only need to pick up the corolla found on the roadside to dry up the hemp and smoke.

The prisoners in San Quentin prison simply planted their own cannabis on the vacant land inside the prison.

In 1936 years, the New York police station destroyed 18 thousand kilograms of cannabis planted in the market.

Because it is generally easy to get, marijuana cigarettes are cheap, and a package of marijuana cigarettes costs between 5 and 50 cents.

This is the price that urban young black people can afford to identify with this new subculture.

The hero of this subculture is a jazz musician who acts as an example to promote marijuana.

It is not new for the working class men to use marijuana to escape from reality and to have fun.

But at that time, the consumption of cannabis in the United States was different from that of traditional India hemp, which was more restricted to satisfy the needs of pleasure. It was not used as medicinal tea or folk medicine.

The American cannabis complex began to enter the mainstream society in 1960s.

Since the "marijuana hall" of Paris entered its heyday in 1840s, highly educated people began to smoke cannabis, in search of fresh excitement and what Baudelaire called "enhanced personal traits".

But the number of people taking the lead is very small, and few people follow up.

By 1960s, millions of students wearing bell bottomed pants would have picked up marijuana smoke, and the situation would be different.

Psychologist William Mcgrawtlin made a brief summary of this phenomenon: "through the hippie movement, marijuana smoke from the bottom of a social addiction has become a middle class and upper class addiction."

Hippie is the "decadent movement" which formed a small number but led the intellectual circles in 1950s.

Media coverage of Hippie benefits (even if it is not intentionally biased) is also inconsistent with the facts. Coupled with the aversion of the apartheid system and the urban materialism, young people have been attracted by it.

Marijuana smoke can be a symbol of multiple values of treason, and is becoming popular among high school students and college students.

According to University of Michigan's research report, the number of cannabis from freshmen to senior year is increasing year by year, but the intake of graduate students is decreasing because graduate students prefer sedatives.

It is estimated that by the year 1979, about 55 million Americans had taken some form of marijuana, of which 2/3 was 18 to 20 years old.

Similar phenomena soon spread to the whole world.

Australia, Canada, Columbia, Hongkong, India, Philippines, Scotland, Venezuela, Federal Republic of Germany and other countries and regions all reported that the number of cannabis users increased significantly from 60 to 70s in twentieth Century.

In any country, young cannabis users are more likely to take other addictive products than those who do not smoke.

As a result, the number of vulnerable persons has reached unprecedented levels.

Because young people are more tolerant of adverse reactions caused by addictive products, naturally they are more likely to seek new stimuli than older people, and are more likely to look forward to imitating their peers.

These psychological characteristics are easy to induce addiction.

In the rich western society and the westernized society, the influence of these psychological factors should not be overlooked in the age of highlighting individual consciousness, pleasure and liberation.

In the 60 and 70s of twentieth Century, the middle class young people who smoked marijuana also had the opportunity to travel everywhere because their parents had plenty of opportunities to study abroad, and the way of free riding was very convenient, so they became the media to spread addictive products.

Lavender Singh, who was born in the hometown of marijuana tobacco in India, can be regarded as a typical representative of cannabis complex.

He was the son of an officer. He went to a noble school and learned to smoke marijuana at boarding school.

Later he wandered from home to Nepal and to Goa on the coast.

His memoirs, published by his father when he died, is particularly shocking that wherever he goes, he will meet some "drug addicts" who are traveling freely from Europe, North America and Australia.

These drug addicts come to the east to enjoy cheap marijuana, have a lot of heroin addiction, or at least are willing to try.

With a blue eye, jeans, and a pair of them.

When the French Canadian girl coexisted, Lavender shot the first heroin.

The addictive finally killed him when he was 21 years old.
