[DiogenesLamp]

Marijuana has been used as an agent for achieving euphoria since ancient times; it was described in a Chinese medical compendium traditionally considered to date from 2737 B.C. It also has a long history of use as a medicinal herb. Its use spread from China to India and then to N Africa and reached Europe at least as early as A.D. 500.

If you were keeping up with the context you would realize that the demographic being discussed is American, and the contrast was with Alcohol.

Again, compared to Alcohol, Pot is a newcomer to the American Demographic. It was implicit in the discussion to anyone paying attention.

You posted that Marijuana was not used by humans until recently, I corrected you.
