The star of Sirius (the dog star) There is evidence that cannabis is not native to the earth. It is the only plant in existence that displays its gender physically. You also have the fact that cannabis just appears out of nowhere in the fossil record and history about 12000 years ago. there are no evolutionary predecessors to be found. also, cannabis dna structure is unique from any other plant. the closest genetic relative that can be found on the planet is...the strawberry! Also, Take a look at the word cannabis. Ever wonder what it means? Cannabis is a Greek word, though its root is African. In Greek, canna means canine or dog and bis or bi is the number two. So cannabis is the two dog plant! That in itself is interesting to me. But the pot thickens. There is a cannabis-loving tribe in Mali, West Africa called the Dogon tribe. A fairly well-documented group, the Dogons were visited by Herodotus, a Greek traveler and chronicler, around 300 BC. He was fortunate enough to have visited the Dogons during a year-long celebration that took place every 50 years. Explaining their celebration, the Dogons pointed to the brightest star in the Winter sky, Sirius, and said it was the Two-Dog Star and that it was the home of the two-dog plant, cannabis. The two-dog plant, they said, was brought to our planet from the Goddess from the Two Dog Star. Their yearlong celebration was in honor of that star. All of this would be easy to dismiss if not for the fact the Dogons possessed specific knowledge about the Sirian system for thousands of years before scientists with modern telescopes and equipment could catch up and prove them right. The Dogons had specific knowledge about Sirius B, a white dwarf star, which they call Po Tolo. They knew that it was white, that it was extremely small, and that its the heaviest star in its grouping. They were able to describe its elliptical orbit with Sirius A, its 50 year orbital period, and the fact that the star rotated on its own axis. Sirius B is invisible to the naked eye abd is so difficult to observe, even through a telescope, no pictures were taken until 1970. They also described a third star in the Sirius system, which they called Emme Ya. In 1995, when two French astronomers published the results of a multi-year study that was apparently a small, red dwarf star within the Sirius star system, the Dogon idea of there being a Sirius C, aka Emme Ya, was suddenly taken much more seriously. If the Dogons were correct in all of their other knowledge about Sirius, why would they not be dead on with their claims of cannabis being from Sirius. It is, after all, named after that Two-Dog Star. Note: The Dog Star was highly venerated in ancient Mesopotamia, where ŵeits old Akkadian name was Mil-lik-ud (Dog Star Of the Sun) and in Babylonia, where it was called Kakkab-lik-ku (Star Of The Dog). The assyrians called Sirius Kal-bu-sa mas (the Dog of the Sun) and in Chaldea, it was known as Kak-shisha (The Dog Star That Leads) Aum Cannabis is indigenous to Central and South Asia.[135] Evidence of the inhalation of cannabis smoke can be found in the 3rd millennium BCE, as indicated by charred cannabis seeds found in a ritual brazier at an ancient burial site in present day Romania.[10] In 2003, a leather basket filled with cannabis leaf fragments and seeds was found next to a 2,500- to 2,800-year-old mummified shaman in the northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.[136][137] Cannabis is also known to have been used by the ancient Hindus of India and Nepal thousands of years ago. The herb was called ganjika in Sanskrit (गांजा/গাঁজা ganja in modern Indo-Aryan languages).[138][139] The ancient drug soma, mentioned in the Vedas, was sometimes associated with cannabis.[140] Cannabis was also known to the ancient Assyrians, who discovered its psychoactive properties through the Aryans.[141] Using it in some religious ceremonies, they called it qunubu (meaning way to produce smoke), a probable origin of the modern word cannabis.[142] Cannabis was also introduced by the Aryans to the Scythians,Thracians and Dacians, whose shamans (the kapnobatai—those who walk on smoke/clouds) burned cannabis flowers to induce a state of trance.[143] Cannabis has an ancient history of ritual use and is found in pharmacological cults around the world. Hemp seeds discovered by archaeologists at Pazyryk suggest early ceremonial practices like eating by the Scythians occurred during the 5th to 2nd century BCE, confirming previous historical reports by Herodotus.[144] One writer has claimed that cannabis was used as a religious sacrament by ancient Jews and early Christians[145][146] due to the similarity between the Hebrew word qannabbos (cannabis) and the Hebrew phrase qené bósem (aromatic cane). It was used by Muslims in various Sufi orders as early as the Mamluk period, for example by theQalandars.[147] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_(drug) Also this is a History of Medical Marijuana: medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000143
