In The History of Marijuana, Were There Medical Uses?
Cannabis was used as far back as 2737 BC according to Live Science and research by Mitch Earleywine in “Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence”.

The history of marijuana and medical use goes back to ancient times. Ancient physicians in many parts of the world mixed cannabis into medicines to treat pain and other ailments. In the 19th century, cannabis was introduced for therapeutic use in Western Medicine. Since then, there have been several advancements in how the drug is administered. Initially, cannabis was reduced to a powder and mixed with wine for administration. In the 1970s, synthetic THC was created to be administered as the drug Marinol in a capsule. However, the main mode of administration for cannabis is smoking because its effects are almost immediate when the smoke is inhaled. Most people who are prescribed marijuana for medical purposes use it to alleviate severe pain.
