Place in History
Before there was a United States of America, a British Empire, or even a Roman one, there were the pharaohs of Egypt. The pharaohs presided over a great civilization on the banks of the Nile River. Dynasties in Ancient Egyptian first gained power in 3150 BC and lasted, in varying lines and kingdoms, until 30 BC.
Place in Marijuana History
During their long reign, dynasties of Ancient Egypt started to use cannabis. Cannabis pollen was found on the mummy of one pharaoh, Ramesses II. Details on medical papyrii describe a multitude of medical uses for marijuana, including treatment for hemorrhoids and sore eyes.
Why It's Awesome
These guys built the pyramids! Today most people still doesn't fully understand how Ancient Egypt was even able to build the pyramids, but they did it. So if Egyptian pharaohs felt that using marijuana was a good idea, way back in 2000 BC, maybe we should listen to them.
