The first international pharmacopoeia conference leaves cannabis out

The first international conference on a common pharmacopoeia did not include cannabis, because its active compounds were not known. Extracts and tinctures of the herb were added to the international monographs at a conference in Brussels in 1925, the year the Geneva convention put Indian hemp under control.[1]
