Background
The use of cannabis was first mentioned in writing in 2753 BC, by Chinese emperor Shen Nung. By the 14th century, the use was spread to the Middle East, and in 19th century it reached Europe and the United States. In the late 1960’s, Thai sticks, which are the original canna cigars, came to Western cannabis culture. At that time cannabis buds were tied to bamboo skewers, and dipped in hash oil or opium. After that, fibers from the stalk of the marijuana plant were used to wrap it all together. Thai sticks were popular till 1975, and they were replaced with joints, blunts, bongs, and vapes since.
