A Greek Historian named Herodotus recorded the first recreational marijuana use, written in 430 B.C. He reported that the Scythian tribe of horsemen who inhabited modern day Kazakhstan used cannabis for recreational as well as ceremonial purposes. Hashish was the first cannabis preparation to be used widely for recreational intoxication. Its product composed of compressed or purified preparations of stalked resin glands. Hashish came from Arabic word which means grass. It became popular throughout the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. Hashish smoking widely gained popularity in Arab world and by 13 centuries AD a government official of Ottoman Empire forbade the use of hashish.


In Europe Napoleon Bonaparte bans the use of hashish by issuing a law forbidding all recreational use of cannabis after he realizes that much of the Egyptian lower class was habitual smokers of marijuana. While in United State recreational marijuana use gain limited popularity, many historians believed that Mexican Revolution and the institution of Prohibition led to a boom in the popularity of recreational cannabis. It was 19th century that recreational marijuana use started on a small scale on northeastern United States with the opening of many Turkish smoking parlors because of the growing popularity of recreational use of marijuana the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and its director, began drafting a bill to tax marijuana did an all out smear campaign begin, which eventually led to its national ban. California is the first State to criminalize the use of marijuana. Since then the historical reputation of marijuana as a medicinal and industrial application has been tarnish, it`s been over shadowed by its negative effects.
