Association FAAAT
Cannabis Embassy — Forum Drugs Mediterranean — FAAAT editions
Association FAAAT is an advocacy and research think-tank, international in scope, anchored in the Mediterranean. We study controlled plants, products, substances —and other objects that are illicit, prohibited, unaccessible, or liable to produce harm or dependence— and their policies.
Founded in 2015, our work is multidisciplinary, transnational, non-governmental, non-partisan, and not-for-profit.
Our activities are organised in three areas: “Cannabis Embassy” for involvement in international affairs; “Forum Drugs Mediterranean” as an action lab for local affairs; and the “FAAAT editions”, our publishing division for editorial affairs.
CENTENARY OF CANNABIS PROHIBITION
1925–2025: Centenary of Cannabis Prohibition – Global Hemp/Marijuana History YearIf the history of Cannabis and humankind was a day, prohibition would only be its last 30 seconds.
From time immemorial Cannabis has grown, been grown, and used for countless purposes. Worldwide, Cannabis provided clothing, food, feed and bedding for livestock, medicine, and a spiritual and social enhancer. But things changed brutally, only a hundred years ago.
The modern prohibition of Cannabis sativa L. plant (also known as hemp, marihuana, भांग, dagga, конопля, ganja, 麻, pot, ntsangu, haschisch, canapa, riamba, قنب, siddhi, kif, cáñamo, bangui, 大麻, chanvre, konopí…) originated before 1925 in Brazil, Egypt, and South Africa. The USA came much, much later.
But it was only in 1925 that Cannabis acquired a marked world character that continues to this day, as it entered international law for the first time.
