CANNABIS AMERICANA: AMERICA’S 1ST CANNABIS BRAND, STRAIN AND BREEDER 🌿📦

CANNABIS AMERICANA: AMERICA’S 1ST CANNABIS BRAND 🌿📦 presented by ‪@nuggnotes‬ Over 100 years before mylars, America’s first branded cannabis came in a box—with Parke-Davis & Eli Lilly turning folk remedy into pharma commodity. ⸻ 🧠 What You’ll Learn: • How Parke-Davis (Detroit) & Eli Lilly (Indianapolis) teamed up in the late 1890s to breed “Cannabis Americana” on Lilly’s Greenfield, IN farm • Why they grew local—imported Indian cannabis was too inconsistent in potency • How rows of cannabis grew beside coca & opium poppies in Michigan’s Parkedale farm & botanical gardens • Why the flagship product was “Fluid Extract of Cannabis Americana”—percolated in 80% alcohol & labeled “a powerful sedative & narcotic” • How in 1908 Parke-Davis pioneered physiological standardization—dog bioassays that gave doctors consistent dosing decades before THC was discovered • Proof in print: the 1910 Parke-Davis catalog listed Cannabis Americana at $1.65 per lb, sold in 1-oz packets & cardboard boxes—the 1st branded cannabis packaging in the U.S. • How doctors prescribed it for insomnia, pain, epilepsy & “nervous” disorders, right next to morphine & quinine • Why by the 1910s–1930s it was mainstream, shipped nationwide, promoted in 16-page booklets with plant illustrations • How the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 ended its run, forcing Parke-Davis to quietly discontinue production ⸻ 📦 before mylars, before jars—cannabis americana proved weed could be packaged, standardized & sold nationwide. — 🪴 Follow @nuggnotes on Instagram, YouTube & X for cannabis history, brand deep dives & culture-first storytelling. 💬 Did you know America’s first packaged cannabis was sold in boxes 100+ years ago? #CannabisAmericana #CannabisHistory #WeedHistory #MedicalCannabis #CannabisBranding #PharmaHistory #WeedCulture #WeedPackaging #WeedFacts #CannabisCommunity #nuggnotes Sources - Ball, Linda. “Rich History of Cannabis on Display at Seattle Museum.” The Spokesman-Review, 27 Oct. 2017, www.spokesman.com/stories/2017/oct/27/rich-history-cannabis-display-seattle-museum/.
