I wonder who the first people to discover pot are, like the founding of stonerizm. LOL. Anyone got a good guess?
i bet they made a fire, and threw weed on it, and inhaled the smoke accidentailly and thats how it happened
Yeah, but the question was who discovered pot first, not acid. Edit: And on that same note, don't say it was God either, because he did the whole 7-day thing on speed not weed.
cave men would have been waaay too early... the earliest signs of any use for cannibis was in 2000 bc by the chinese.... and the earliest records of it being used for mind altering experiences is 500 AD in India
Well, the plant existed back then, and if anyone is going to know about the local plant life, it's a hunter-gather society, who depends on just plain nature for all food and medicine. Yeah, that's right, medicine. They may not have been cultivating it, but surely they knew about it, it's their business to know. And there's no reason to think they wouldn't use it medicinally or spiritually (think shamans). Anyways, absence of proof is not proof of absence. What kind of evidence for use would a caveman leave? Being generally nomadic, they wouldn't have probably left much evidence (which is why we know so little about such societies anyways, in general). By the way, it wasn't the native americans, since cannabis is an old world plant that originated in or near the Himalayan Mountain region (northern India, Tibet, etc).
they would have first eaten it, because of its very testy smell. eating things in the wild would have come well before burning inscence or anything like that. smoking it to get high would come later
