| h English (en) | Cannabis has been one of the most used [[psychoactive drug]]s in the world since the late 20th century, following only [[tobacco]] and [[alcohol (drug)|alcohol]] in popularity. According to Vera Rubin, the use of cannabis has been encompassed by two major cultural complexes over time: a continuous, traditional [[Folk culture|folk]] stream, and a more circumscribed, contemporary configuration. The former involves both sacred and secular use, and is usually based on small-scale cultivation: the use of the plant for [[Rope|cordage]], clothing, medicine, food, and a "general use as an [[euphoriant]] and symbol of fellowship." The second stream of expansion of cannabis use encompasses "the use of hemp for commercial manufacturers utilizing large-scale cultivation primarily as a fiber for mercantile purposes"; but it is also linked to the search for [[psychedelic experience]]s (which can be traced back to the formation of the Parisian [[Club des Hashischins]]). |
