Three Millennia Of Medical Marijuana, Ctd
A historian reader writes:
This is from Oxford, Bodleian MS Ashmole 1462, a 12th-century
English collection of various medical and herbal texts. Note that next
to the illustration of cannabis it includes both its name in Latin
(Nomen istius herbe...) but then also, in English, "wilde hemp."
Decriminalizing cannabis would not be a radical departure from the norm of human history. It would be a return to it.
