The Iranians also introduced cannabis to the Scythians, [[Thracians]] and [[Dacia]]ns, whose shamans (the ''[[kapnobatai]]''{{snd}}"those who walk on smoke/clouds") burned cannabis infructescences to induce [[trance]]. The plant was used in China before 2800 BC, and found therapeutic use in India by 1000 BC, where it was used [[cannabis edible|in food and drink]], including ''[[bhang]]''.
