The History of Cannabidiol

Cannabis is a well-known plant in human civilization for thousands of years. First in Asia, traces were found around 4000 BC. These people used cannabis and hemp industrially and also from a medical and medicinal point of view. Pottery was also found in a Chinese province with hemp drawings as well as associated textiles. A large part of Central Asia has been marked by the presence of hemp, from the Hindu Kush mountain range to Afghanistan, traces of cannabis have been present everywhere for a very long time.
