Cannabis Through the Ages (2020) documentary

Cannabis has been vital to the progression of mankind. Its use has been prevalent throughout millennia. Once used in over 30,000 different products, the cultivation of the drug provided ancient cultures with a remedy and a strong source of fibre. From its diverse uses in war and exploration to medicine and intoxication, Cannabis has been instrumental to the evolution of civilisations around the globe. Only in this last century has mankind been prohibiting one of the most useful plants on our planet. Propaganda, lobbying campaigns, and misinformation had altered the way we view the plant and its users. Giving rise to the so-called "War on Drugs". In turn, boosting the black market and the vilification of minorities. But - as perceptions towards the illicit drug continue to evolve, and legalisation expands, we take a look back at Cannabis...Through The Ages.
