Cannabis is one of the most versatile genera in terms of plant uses and has been exploited by humans for millennia due to its medicinal properties, strong fibres, nutritious seeds and psychoactive resin. Nowadays, Cannabis is the centre of many scientific studies, which mainly focus on its chemical composition and medicinal properties. Unfortunately, while new applications of this plant are continuously being developed, some of its traditional uses are becoming rare and even disappearing altogether. Information on traditional uses of Cannabis is vast, but it is scattered across many publication sources in different formats, so synthesis and standardization of these data are increasingly important. The CANNUSE database provides an organized information source for scientists and general public interested in different aspects of Cannabis use. It contains over 2300 entries from 649 publications related to medicinal, alimentary, fibre and other uses from different geographical areas and cultures around the world. We believe this database will serve as a starting point for new research and development strategies based on the traditional knowledge. Database URL: http://cannusedb.csic.es.
大麻是用途最广泛的植物属之一，由于其药用特性、强纤维、营养丰富的种子和致幻树脂，已经被人类开发利用了数千年。如今，大麻是许多科学研究的中心，这些研究主要集中在其化学组成和药用特性上。不幸的是，尽管这种植物的新应用不断得到开发，但它的一些传统用途却变得越来越罕见，甚至完全消失。关于大麻的传统用途的信息非常广泛，但它分散在许多不同格式的出版物来源中，因此对这些数据进行综合和标准化变得越来越重要。CANNUSE 数据库为对大麻使用的不同方面感兴趣的科学家和普通公众提供了一个有组织的信息来源。它包含了来自全球不同地理区域和文化的 649 篇出版物中的 2300 多条条目，涉及药用、食用、纤维和其他用途。我们相信，这个数据库将成为基于传统知识的新研究和开发策略的起点。数据库网址：http://cannusedb.csic.es。
