When did humans first discover smoking weed?

When did ancient humans first smoke weed? Cannabis has been part of human history for thousands of years — long before modern marijuana laws, dispensaries, or the War on Drugs. In this video, we travel back through 12,000 years of cannabis history to uncover how ancient humans used this mysterious plant for medicine, rituals, religion, clothing, rope, food, and trade. From ancient China and Central Asia to the Scythians, ancient India, and Israel, archaeological discoveries reveal that cannabis played a surprising role in ancient societies. We’ll explore some of the oldest evidence of cannabis use and smoking, including ancient burial sites and ritual objects. But the story doesn't end in the ancient world. We’ll also follow cannabis through European trade, the rise of hemp, its importance to ships and sailing, and eventually the dramatic shift toward marijuana prohibition in the United States. How did a plant humans had used for thousands of years become an illegal drug? This is the forgotten history of cannabis — from ancient rituals and medicine to prohibition and the modern world.
