Research Topic of Cannabis Research Class
How have scientific, legal, and popular perceptions of Cannabis changed over time? What factors have influenced or been the cause of these perceptions?
Why Cannabis?
Cannabis has throughout history proved to be of immense value to human beings, with applications both in medicine and manufacturing. Yet only recently have countries such as the United States begun to recognize its value once again, after long prohibitions on its use. Germany lags behind much of the rest of the world in rediscovering Cannabis’s value, and I want to help us to catch up.
