The History Of It All
Mental health is increasingly becoming a major topic of discussion in the modern world. With the prevalence of anxiety and depression, many people are turning to new sources of relief and support. One such source is cannabis, which has been proven to positively affect mental health.
Cannabis has been used medicinally for thousands of years and has been found to have numerous healing properties. Recent studies have found that cannabis has multiple positive effects on mental health. These include reducing stress, relieving depression, improving mood, reducing anxiety, and improving sleep.Throughout history, cannabis has been used as a form of treatment for depression. In ancient times, records show that cannabis was used to treat mental illness in India and China. For example, the Chinese Emperor Shennong listed cannabis as a treatment for depression and other mental health issues in his 2737 BCE book of medicinal herbs. In India, cannabis was used to treat depression as far back as 1000 BCE.
In more recent times, cannabis has been used as a form of treatment for depression. For example, in the 1800s, cannabis was prescribed for depression by doctors in Europe and the United States. Cannabis was also used to treat anxiety and depression during World War II by soldiers and those affected by the war. In the 1970s, the therapeutic uses of cannabis were further explored and the medical community began to recognize the potential benefits of cannabis for treating mental health issues. While modern research continues to explore the potential benefits of cannabis for treating depression, the historical use of cannabis for this purpose is undeniable.

How We Can Better Prepare For The Future Based On Our Past Mistakes
The mistake of prohibition on cannabis is that it has been ineffectively enforced, leading to a rise in the illegal market and an increase in organized crime. It has also created an underground economy that has enriched criminals and reduced tax revenues for the government. It has also led to an increase in health risks as unregulated cannabis may contain contaminants and other harmful substances.
In addition, cannabis prohibition has had a disproportionate impact on communities of color, as BIPOC are four times more likely to be arrested for cannabis possession than whites, despite similar rates of usage. This has led to the criminalization of communities of color and has had a long-term impact on employment and housing opportunities.
Finally, prohibition has had a negative impact on medical cannabis research. While legalization has begun to address this issue, the stigma of cannabis has made it difficult for researchers to get the funding and access they need to explore the medical benefits of cannabis. This has led to a lack of understanding of the potential benefits of cannabis and its potential to help treat a variety of medical conditions.
