The known history of hemp (and thus, CBD) begins at least twelve thousand years ago, during the Neolithic Age. At this time, hemp was primarily used as a textile. Societies from Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent would use hemp to make fabric, shoes, rope, clothes, and an early version of paper. In fact, hemp cloth has been found in Chinese burial chambers from the Chou Dynasty (1122-249 B.C.), showing that even the wealthiest members of society relied on the plant.
Fast-forward a few hundred years, and we see the medicinal plant spread throughout Asia and the Middle East, eventually reaching Africa and Europe. At this time, many Indian civilizations, including Hindu monks, were using the plant for stress and anxiety relief, in addition to weaving clothing from hemp fibers. Honestly, did they need any other plant?
It wasn’t until the 1830s, however, that cannabis gained wider medicinal use in the Western world. William Brook O’Shaughnessy, an Irish physician, conducted myriad experiments with cannabis and hemp-based plants.
