How did such a strange plant like cannabis come to be in the first place? When and where did we first domesticate it? And why oh why does it get us high?

Crazy thing to think when you are high is that your DNA got reshaped by millions of your ancestors also getting high.
In my country cannabis was illegal, but i wanna sense of its.
Moses and the burning bush, you canβt tell me that man was not high when he heard βI am that I amβ
Cannabis leaves has almost no THC
How did they know
From thousands and thousands of weed that a certain plant gets you high
how come no samples were taken from the swana region given how much of it exists there?
So, much like how peppers were trying not to get eaten then.
Fun fact…im high right nowπππππ
Those ancient farmers would trip if they were to get a taste of the highly cultivated species we have now.
1. Strange plant wtf?
2. Makes sense that we domesticated hemp before staples, thats how we got the brains duh.
3. We have a long history with this plant, the cruel controlling type era saw this plant being banned and the open discussion based era this plant was regarded quite highly. Also it might would have helped cruel controlling era’s end.
4. Yes some cows(figuratively speaking) and other creatures dont seem to like it.
5. Independently evolved is a wrong assumption.
I’m thankful for the vast selection at my local dispensary.
But canny find it in ma private STASH πβ€
ΰΉΰΈͺΰΈ£ΰΈ΅ΰΈΰΈ±ΰΈΰΈΰΈ²
himalayas are source of weed
Weed still safer than peanuts free all safe plants ASAP
So no wonder its have HIGH property element because it originate at high tibetan plateuπ
If cannabis could taste Brownies it would want to be a brownie π€πΈπ¦π
I canβt find a lighter
1:47 thats actually crazy beer and weed secret relatives
So the funeral was the first hotbox ever? π«¨ππ«‘
I canβt even begin to list all the things this video got wrong π
So India started weed?
So it came from the gods.
So Indica is drug type and hemp type is sativa
Temple β‘π©πͺπ¦΅π
What about ecology? What eat it, and what pollinates it? What kind of insects and interact with it in a positive or negative way?
π ball π sweet π§
This is a guess. Most likely close.
Evolution should have stopped in the 80’s
I imagine that PBS asked her "Hey. What do you think about an origin video for cannabis.
Her: "hi, yes".
ποΈ
Gonna go get baked with a sea urchin
I would be a feral human without spleef
The family reunionππ
Did you just say "ec-scaped"?? LOL
The word drug should not be used for cannabis
Watched this stoned
Moses and the burning bush, you canβt tell me that man was not high when he heard βI am that I amβ
Legalize it.. its natural. If tobacco is legal, weed should be to. Tobacco will get you high. You ever hot box a newport?
I thought that Ruderalis was closely related to the original.
She’s so happy doing this video
Well of course domestic weed cultivation came before farming wheat, veggies and fruit. Everyone knows you have to smoke the weed first, THEN you get the munchies and hunting is out of the question, you’re just too happy to want to kill a cute wee bunny, then have to skin, gut and cook it, by then your buzz is gone and you’ve worked up an even bigger appetite.
Puffing on one as we speak
Gonna take an edible just to be festive for this one
Plate tectonics gave us weed…. I love geology!π
Itβs started in my infinity
It actually grew in dinosaur days they found fossil of 3 to 6 feet long sun leaves of canibus plant.ππͺ΄π΄π And in some areas and peoples a religion and or considered a holy thing to some cultures in the world too and alot of species went extinct when it was taboo or outlawed too while some strains advanced πͺ΄ππ΄They said scale model and todays scale canibus plant be the size of a pine tree in retrospectively speakingπ
Im thinking weed was grown to deter animals and over many years was just found to be ineffective and also other uses was found for the plant. Also food and livestock was needed to be grown cause it brought money and or trade to your home or trade for services. Hemp textiles wouldve been great for clothes and possibly did provide for alot of our clothes in the early days.
Indians have been using ganja as we call it for thousands of years
Drug-Type ahahaha xd
