If someone tells you that you are lazy because of introducing cannabis in your lifestyle, then show them this article until you can tell them that you are like a fearsome warrior. A battalion of horseback riders armed with a wide variety of armory particularly tipped arrows, javelins, iron blades, and more, those are the last images that any enemy of the Scythian will ever see.

Around 600 BCE up to 400 CE Scythians, commonly known as Amazons ruled and roam the lands of the western Black Sea all the way up to the regions of Central Asia. These feared warriors were believed as fiction until recent evidence showed us that they are in fact real. Traces of these civilizations showed us how they lived their daily lives.

Which led us to know that not only are Amazons feared even by the Greeks for being horse-riding nomadic warriors, hunters, and archers, but that they are also advocates for a magical herb they used to call ‘cannabis.’

THE CANNABIS LIFESTYLE

From an early age, young Scythians are thought to be warriors, hunters, archers, and horseback riders to live by the nomadic lifestyle of their community. As a result, not only are men able to fight and lead their people but so are the feared and well-known ancient Amazonian warriors. But this lifestyle can be tiring even for them. This is the edge that most Scythians had over other ancient civilizations — their cannabis lifestyle.

Greek historians loved writing about all the wonders that they find while roaming the world and this included interactions with the Amazons. To learn more about them, they focused their energy on knowing even their hidden rituals and traditions. Where they found the Scythian vapor bath where Scythians are found howling in joy and energy rushing through their veins.

The Amazons used to deliberately share the fumes of hundreds of cannabis burned to be shared by the entire community while they rest or while they travel. It was described by most as an intoxicating fruit that brought a new life to these nomadic warriors. Another reason why Amazons used to smoke cannabis was to compensate for the repeating tiredness that comes with fighting, hunting, raiding, riding, and even moving from one place to another.

MEDICAL CANNABIS TO ANCIENT WARRIORS

Human remains, skeletons, of these ancient warriors, are often found with various tools and kits to survive their daily lives. An important common factor that was seen throughout different locations in the kits of cannabis. Scythians didn’t only use cannabis to relax and chill during downtimes and travels but it also paved the way for using it to manage pain and help the body recover easier.

It was stated in the book, The Amazons: Lives of Warrior Women Across the Ancient Lands, that Scythians that are under the effects of cannabis are more likely to survive. This is because the plant hides the pain which allowed them to hunt for food and gather resources to heal faster. Being left alone in a nomadic community during those times is just one sure way to meet your fate.
