Medical Marijuana Dispensary

It was a long time coming but tow states have finally legalized marijuana. Now, the citizens of Denver can shop for the best bubble hash (or their strain of choice) in dispensaries throughout the city. This may seem new, but marijuana has a long history.

The decision to legalize marijuana may seem controversial, but marijuana has been used for centuries. The first known marijuana users were the ancient Chinese. Emperor Fu Hsi, considered the founder of civilization in China, said that marijuana contained both yin and yang. The Chinese consumed medicinal marijuana for hundreds of years though no one knows whether or dispensaries existed in ancient China. From there, it spread to India, where it was used as a cure for leprosy. Some even claim that Jesus used cannabis in anointing oil.

Two thousand years would pass before cannabis was brought to the Americas. Famously, George Washington grew hemp and according to records, he was particularly interested in marijuana's medicinal uses.

Marijuana's bad rap didn't come about until the 1900s. Controversy soon followed and politicians acted with force. The drug war, initiated by President Nixon, casted a wide net demonizing every drug, effectively ending medical marijuana in the USA. It wasn't until the following decades that states slowly allowed medicinal marijuana. Of course, dispensaries in California became ubiquitous. Also, these days there are non-medical marijuana dispensaries throughout Denver.
