You neglected to mention the healing abilities of cannibas. About 2,800 BC was the earliest written reference to the use of marijuana as medicine. It is believed that the Chinese were the first to start using it. Shen-Nung who was considered to be the Father of Chinese Medicine, is the one who started experimenting with the cannibas. Here is the link if you want to read more about it: http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/1736.html

Also, later in the article it describes how Queen Victoria was prescribed cannibas extract in the 19th century for her menstrual problems.
