Why Are We Suddenly Learning Something That Was Already Known 5000 Years Ago?

the Chinese documented the use of marijuana as medicine for many illnesses. Yet we are just learning that it has medicinal purposes? hmmm

    just because YOU only discovered this fact (apparently just recently) does not mean no one else has discovered this truth.
    wounded duck (above) is right, ya know.

    Chinese use all sorts of strange herbal cures. Some of them have been proven to simply be placebos.
    We also used to prescribe opium and coccaine as medicine in the US. We don’t always do the smartest things.
