Cannabis culture describes a social atmosphere or a set of related social behaviors that depend heavily on marijuana consumption, especially as entheogen, drugs and drugs. Cannabis - plants that produce hemp and cannabis - have been one of the most widely used psychoactive drugs in the world since the late 20th century, after only popular tobacco and alcohol. According to Vera Rubin, the use of marijuana has been covered by two major cultural complexes over time: sustainable traditional flow, and more limited contemporary configurations. The first involves the use of sacred and secular, and is usually based on small-scale cultivation: the use of plants for straps, clothing, medicine, food, and "common use as euphoria and the symbol of fellowship." The second stream of expansion of cannabis use includes "the use of hemp for commercial producers utilizing large-scale cultivation primarily as fiber for trade purposes"; but also related to the search for the psychedelic experience (which can be traced back to the Parisian Club des Hashischins formation).
Cannabis has "developed his own language, humor, etiquette, art, literature, and music." Nick Brownlee wrote: "Probably because of its ancient mystical and spiritual roots, because of the psychotherapy effects of the drug and therefore illegal, even the act of smoking also has deep symbolism." However, the marijuana culture as "the manifestation of introspection and the passivity of the body" - which has produced negative "lazy stereotypes" around its customers - is a relatively modern concept, since marijuana has been consumed in various forms for almost 5,000 years.. The 1960s countermeasures have been identified as an era that "robs the years of modern marijuana culture's glory," with the Woodstock Festival that serves as "the peak of the hippie revolution in the United States, and in many people's opinions is a prime example of the cannabis culture in the workplace". The effects of kanabis have included holidays (especially 4/20), cinemas (such as exploitation and stoner film genres), music (especially jazz, reggae, psychedelia and rap music), and magazines including High Times and > Cannabis Culture .
Marijuana has been used as an entheogen - mainly in India and Nepal since the Vedic period which began around 1500 BC, but probably as far back as 2000 BC. Its entheogenic use is also recorded in Ancient China, the Germans, the Celts, Ancient Central Asia, and Africa. In modern times, the spiritual use of this drug is largely associated with the Rastafari Jamaican movement. Some Western subcultures have marijuana consumption as a strange feature, such as hippies, beatniks, hipsters (subcultures of the 1940s and contemporary subcultures), ravers and hip hop.

Social Habits
Cannabis was once sold in a club known as "Teapads" during the United States Prohibition; jazz is usually played in these clubs. Marijuana is often seen as a lower class and is not liked by many people. After the ban on cannabis, its consumption is used secretly. Years later after marijuana has once again been legally tolerated in some areas. Holidays have formed around the consumption of cannabis like 420, named after a popular time of day to consume cannabis (4:20 and celebrated on April 20). If consumed in a social environment, it is recommended to share cannabis with others.

In the art field
Because of the psychoactive effects of marijuana including the increased appreciation of art, including and especially music, as well as increased creativity, its influence and its usefulness can be found in various works of art. Many popular musicians, who are not limited to specific genres of certain drugs, are known to have used cannabis as inspiration for their work.
Culture
Cannabis has been used in ancient past in places like ancient India, Romania, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. It is often used as a medicine or for hemp, its main consumption route is smoking. Over time, culture becomes more international and a common "cannabis culture" is formed. Culture has been responsible for the film genre known as the stoner film, which has been accepted as a major cinema movement. In the United States culture has also spawned its own celebrities (like Tommy Chong and Terence McKenna), and magazines like ( Cannabis Culture and High Times ).
India
Cannabis comes from Central and South Asia. Cannabis is also known to have been used by ancient Hindus of India and Nepal thousands of years ago. This herb is called cannabis (Sanskrit: ????? , IAST: gaÃÆ' Â ± j? ) or ganjika in Sanskrit and other modern Indo-Aryan languages. Some scholars argue that the ancient soma of medicine, mentioned in the Vedas, is marijuana, although the theory is disputed.
Today marijuana is often formed into bhang, which has become an integral part of tradition and custom in the Indian subcontinent. In some parts of rural India, people attribute various properties of drugs to cannabis factories. If taken in the right amount, bhang is believed to cure fever, dysentery, sunburn, to cleanse the sputum, aids digestion, appetite, cures speech and lisping imperfections, and gives vigilance to the body.
Jamaica
In the 8th century, marijuana was introduced by Arab merchants to Central and Southern Africa, where it was known as "dagga" and many Rastas said it was part of their African culture that they reclaimed. Sometimes it is also referred to as the "healing of the nation", the phrase adapted from Revelation 22: 2.
Alternatively, the migration of thousands of Hindus and Muslims from British India to the Caribbean in the 20th century may have brought this culture to Jamaica. Many academics point to Indo-Caribbean origins for the cannabis sacrament resulting from imports of Indian migrant workers in the post-abolition Jamaican landscape. "The large-scale usage of marijuana in Jamaica... dated from the import of the obliging Indians..." (Campbell 110). The mystical mystic Jata, often called the ascetic known as sadhus or Qalandar Sufi and Derwishes, has been smoking marijuana from chillums and coconut hookahs in South Asia since ancient times. Also, the reference to "trophies" may be the transliteration of "jam-e-qalandar" (the term used by Sufi recluses meaning 'bowl or qalandar cup'). In South Asia, besides smoking, marijuana is often consumed as a beverage known as bhang and most qalandar carry large wooden pestle for that reason.
Today Jamaican religion Rastafari promotes the use of cannabis for religious use.
Beatnik
The use of marijuana was associated with subculture, and during the 1950s, Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception further influenced the view of drugs. This will affect the hippie movement.
Hippie
Following in the footsteps of Beatnik, many hippies use marijuana, thinking it is fun and tame. On the East Coast of the United States, Harvard University professors Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner and Ram Dass recommend psychotropic drugs for psychotherapy, self-exploration, religion and spirituality. Regarding LSD, Leary, a prominent hippie thinker, said, "Extend your consciousness and find ecstasy and revelation in it." These attitudes greatly influence hippie movement and culture, not just on the topic of LSD but with medicines in general, including marijuana.
Hipster
The term "Hipster" defines two cultural groups, a 1940 subculture dedicated to jazz, and contemporary subcultures today. Both are stereotyped like enjoying marijuana. In fact, the early 1940s hipster had many slang terms dedicated to medicine and its distribution.
