Re: Cannabis sativa in Ancient Egypt

The debate has raged for years about whether or not Cannabis sativa or marjuanna was used in ancient Egypt as either rope or medicine. In a recent discussion on an email list that I am on, I am debating whether or not it is obvious to have used the plant as a beverage. Of course, I am writing as an herbalist, and as someone who is in tune to the way that most indigenous groups would use herbs, or at least look at doing them.
