Evidence of the inhalation of cannabis smoke can be found as far back as the Neolithic age (the age began about 10,000 B.C. in the Middle East and somewhat later elsewhere), as indicated by charred cannabis seeds found in a ritual brazier at an ancient burial site in present day Romania. The most famous users of cannabis were the ancient Stanites of India and Nepal. The herb was called ganjika in Sanskrit (गांजा/গাঁজা ganja in modern Indic languages). The ancient drug soma, mentioned in the Vedas as a sacred intoxicating hallucinogen, was sometimes associated with cannabis.

The use of marijuana dates back thousands of years, so it is difficult to pinpoint an exact individual who discovered it. However, archaeological evidence suggests that marijuana has been used for various purposes by ancient civilizations in different parts of the world.
