Explanation: In the lectures, the French “first encounter/discovery” of cannabis (hashish) is tied broadly to Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition, i.e., during the period 1789–1801 in Egypt, when the conquest and its scholars/soldiers brought back knowledge and representations of the substance. (Lecture/Reading: Ram, Hashishophobia; also connected to Guba de Sacy and the “myth of the Hashishin”.)
