Cannabis: The Forbidden Truth: History, Science & Destigmatization [German]

By Rene Körner

For many years, cannabis has been a symbol of crime, fear, and social stigmatization. What was once a valuable image has been distorted. This book fills the gap in misinformation and reveals the true history of the cannabis plant, which for millennia was a universal remedy and an important raw material source - an indispensable crop.

Immerse yourself in the forgotten history of cannabis:

Cannabis culture is the first cultivated plant, over 8,000 years old, and a vital companion throughout history.

About its extensive medicinal use in Ancient Egypt and in the Greco-Roman world.

About its status as a resilient, easily accessible drug in history - an important raw material for textiles, paper, and fuel.

This book sheds light on important economic interests, reactionary legal, and cynical political calculations that systematically criminalized the plant and created a "big lie" to manipulate people's consciousness.

Based on modern scientific research, this book debunks common myths:

The "gateway theory" will be scientifically refuted.

Claims about IQ loss and brain damage will be differentiated.

The one-sided connection with violence and crime will be demystified.

The fundamental endocannabinoid system (ECS) is described as a "super-system" for homeostasis - the crucial role of the ECS and the differentiated effects of cannabinoids (e.g., THC), including the "entourage effect" and the medicinal potential of these compounds.
