The first uses of Cannabis as a medicinal plant date back to ancient times. It was revealed that the soothing virtues of the Sativa plant were known to Egyptians as well as Chinese and Indian. In France, this plant is very popular, at least until 1953 when Marijuana becomes illegal. Our pharmacies have emptied of this substance contrary to certain states of the United States. 23 states still allow it for medical purposes. In 2017, Canada will re-authorize it. then other European countries such as Germany, Italy, Portugal or Switzerland are added to the list. Even though Cannabis plant products are starting to grow, sales are strictly controlled: only authorized stores can supply certain patients whose needs have been certified by a doctor.
