Ancient Origins: Hashish in the East
Our first stop is ancient Persia, around the 10th century, where hashish was likely first discovered and used for its psychoactive properties.

By the 12th century, it had spread throughout the Middle East and North Africa, becoming a staple in cultural and religious practices.

Medieval Times: Hashish in the Islamic Golden Age
In the medieval Islamic world, hashish was both celebrated and vilified. It found its way into the literature and medicine of the time, with notable scholars providing detailed accounts of its effects. The legendary tales of the Hashishin warriors also stem from this era, where it is said they consumed hashish to enhance their prowess and courage.

Fast forward to 19th-century Paris, where the infamous Club des Hashischins was formed. This group of writers and artists, including figures like Charles Baudelaire and Alexandre Dumas, would gather to experiment with hashish. Their experiences influenced a wave of literary and artistic works that depicted the mind-expanding effects of hashish, leaving a lasting imprint on Western culture.
