About Cannabis
The plant name cannabis is a Scythian word, which was loaned into Persian as kanab, then into Greek as κάνναβις and subsequently into Latin as cannabis. The ancient Greeks learned of the use of cannabis by observing Scythian funerals, during which cannabis was consumed. In Neo-Assyrian Akkadian, cannabis was known as qunnabu. Some scholars relate this to qaneh bosem. The Germanic word that gives rise to English hemp may be an early Germanic loan from the same source.
