Cannabis history in Australia

[Beau_dean]

Hey eveyone!

New to the forum moved from Australia to Canada to get more knowledge and hands on experience with cannabis and growing.

I've had a burning question that needs answers for, I have always been interested in the use of cannabis as medicine for healing and spiritual practices as well.

I want to know when cannabis was introduced to Australia? They say hemp seed came on the first fleet but I want to know if cannabis existed in any shape or form before European settlers?

Cannabis exists in every part of the damn world from China, Russia, Africa, Middle East, etc.

I also want to know if aboriginals ever used cannabis or a form/similar plant for any herbal remedies.

Did they use introduced cannabis?

Or was it already here in another form?

Does Australia have similar plants (rudelaris) maybe?

Thanks people.

That is super interesting!!! So maybe that's just mutant hemp plants,

I really want to know if the native aboriginals ever used a form of cannabis in there medicines? Or Even Incorporate it into their medicine system.

I know they used to chew and smoke a herb called pituri and had many other types of herbs and healing medicine.

Thanks for everyone's help its just a bit of personal research
