    Abstract
    The Chinese Shen-nung Pen-tshao Ching is the oldest medical text found in the world today. This text mentions the use of marijuana to treat such ailments as digestive disorders and pain from rheumatism. Marijuana also made its way into many American and European medical journals in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The purpose of this paper is to simply present the facts about this controversial topic so that the reader can become informed and make his or her own conclusion about the medicinal use of marijuana.
