One of the false claims against Cannabis Witchcraft has been the claim that cannabis and Witchcraft in general are supposedly the cause of bad weather.
In 1456 and 1457 there was unusually bad weather in Metz, France, harming many of the local crops. This was attributed to Witchcraft and major Witch Hunts resulted in numerous deaths.
In 1488, in Metz, France, an unusually cold summer (the result of the European mini-Ice Age) was blamed on Witchcraft and twenty-eight (28) persons were burned alive for Witchcraft.
