| h English (en) | Cannabis was known to the [[History of the Assyrian people|ancient Assyrians]], who discovered its psychoactive properties through the Iranians. Using it in some religious ceremonies, they called it ''qunubu'' (meaning "way to produce smoke"), a probable origin of the modern word ''cannabis''. 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]]''. |
