- Here is the story of cannabis, aka marijuana. Today it is illegal in most places, but that likely is to soon change, especially after people watch this video.

Once upon a time there was a plant called cannabis. Since as far back as 10,000 years ago, it was one of the first crops grown when farming began. Hemp, a variety of the cannabis plant, had consistently been used in places like ancient China to create stuff like clothing and rope. Hemp was and still is non psychoactive, which means it doesn’t affect the mind or mental processes because its THC levels are so low. In other words, smoking it will not get you high.
The first recorded use of the cannabis that does get you high was in approximately 2,737 BCE. Emperor Shen Neng of China used the plant as medicine for things like gout, malaria, and poor memory. You heard that right.
Throughout the next 3,000 years, cannabis use for medicinal purposes slowly spread throughout Asia and into Europe. The Chinese mixed it into food. In ancient India, they mixed into a drink called bhang. (bang)
In the second century CE, the Greek doctor Galen prescribed cannabis as medicine. Prior to that in Greece, cannabis seeds had been consumed recreationally.
Soon after this, the Chinese doctor Hua Tuo (Hwa Toe) used cannabis to relieve pain for patients undergoing surgery. He would ground it and mix it with wine.
During the Middle Ages, cannabis was pretty popular in the Middle East. Muslims there weren’t supposed to drink wine, but ain’t nobody said they couldn’t smoke grass! That’s what they actually called it. Well, they called it hashish. (Hasheesh) However, the Arabic doctor Ibn Wahshiyah (eebeen washeeuh) did warn about its potential dangers.
Christopher Columbus brought rope made out of hemp on his first voyage to the New World in 1492. Both the French and the British had their colonists grow cannabis in the New World. During the 1600s, cannabis grew even more popular, and became a major thing to trade between South and Central Asia.
In the 1700s, doctors everywhere recommended cannabis as medicine. The Irish doctor William O'Shaughnessy, in particular, helped popularize its medical use for pain treatment. However, in 1798, Napoleon learned that many of his soldiers had started smoking cannabis while in Egypt and had brought the habit back with them to France. In response, he outlawed the plant.
Still, cannabis remained popular. In the 1800s, cannabis plantations were scattered around the United States. Doctors regularly prescribed it and it was easy to buy in general stores. By now, people traded for cannabis all around the world and its use dramatically increased.
By the end of the 1800s, though, attitudes toward cannabis had started to change. A growing number of people were freaking out about drugs, as alcoholism and opium addiction were dramatically on the rise.
I got interviewed by Robert from Reading Through History about this video. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/vHPnjtxwb7c/w-d-xo.html
Nice video... Nice perspective...
Mr. Beat
Bravo Mr Beat
Thanx for being a good teach ....
Its now legal in canaba
Can i use this video on my talk show about cannabis in 20mins plz
I put your name out on Twitter & talked about your presentations regarding government & civil rights.
I’d like to do the same thing on LinkedIn because of all the division & very hot conversations. In reality people really don’t know how government works or what type of a government we have.
Great work Mr. Beat, I hope your viewer numbers go sky high!
The irony that so many of the anti weed people I've met in my life are barely functioning alcoholics is not lost on me.

I wonder how much more advanced medicinal cannabis treatments would be today if not for the prohibition fiasco of the previous century.
RoboGraham even with prohibition it's still super useful. It helped my godmother survive chemo and helped me quit drinking. It isn't a miracle drug, but it's done wonders for my family 😊
@@1Heirbornhelped me quit drinking. I know switching something for another thing isn’t really practical but it worked for me. 2 years sober.
Speaking of personal experience as a guy who first tried weed in 2018 at the age of 37, I just have to say: It´s been a blessing in my adult life. How much unnecessary damage the ridiculous world-wide prohibition has created during the last century, I don´t even want to think about. It actually makes me kind of sad.
You’re an idiot
@finnisbored505 No you are.
Late to the party brotha, but that's good.
And now you have smoke a bowl to get a tiny bit high.
I've been a regular cannabis user since I was 15 (half my life). The plant itself has helped me tremendously as a remedy for chronic and acute illness, a hobby, an aid for broadening my perspectives, a social tool and so on. It's really wonderful. Prohibition on the other hand has hurt myself and my family deeply. At various times I've been judged, harassed, had legal trouble and been pushed to the fringes of society due to the stigma and criminalization of this plant. Every pothead I've ever known is a kind, humble, easygoing person who values connection, peace and sharing joy yet we're treated like villains.
This video could really use a follow up considering how many states have it legalized now, and how many more have it either for medical use or decriminalized.
Add missouri to the list recreational use
I really hope they legalize it nationally soon, it's now legal in the majority of U.S. states either recreationally or medically.
Not only states but countries as well , free the weed ❤
It'll never be legal here in the UK but it's good to see other parts of the world have softened on this issue.
Add Arizona to the mix of legalization.
It's funny because I've never lived anywhere where weed is legal but I've never found it difficult to get my hands on some.
When I was a teenager it was even easier than getting alcohol.
If it was legal I'd have had less access to it...
there are dispensaries for literal easy access where it's legal.

smoking weed helped me get out of a stage of my life were i was not aware of anything, my own behavior, could of been the depression i grew up with and the bad family i had, i stopped smoking but it did help me take a step into growing as a person
Well put, how I describe is rewire my head, didn’t happen in a day, slow growth, but wasn’t stuck,
I quit smoking weed in the early 2000s due to random drug testing at my job. I know there are ways to beat the test. But I felt it was easier to not put myself in that situation. I still work in an industry that gets random UA's. But I smoke a little every other month, or so.
The only time people should care about smoking weed while working is during their shift at the job, after work, it should be fine to use Cannabis.
You shouldnt be fired just for testing positive with thc in your system, that sort of testing was from the past & doesn't accurately depict today's standards of legalization, especially in recreational states.
@@sammicoporsammicopor I think California was working on something like that for workers' rights, hope it went through
I have never smoked weed in my life, and I probably never will, but damnit even I think that it should be legal.

I just don’t like the smell
Never say never. I hesitate to endorse cannabis use, I know plenty of folks who tried it and didn't like it, but I do endorse curiosity. I've never done any hard drugs because I don't think it's worth the risk but cannabis has been truly a joy in my life and a beautiful, sacred experience. Cigarettes and alcohol I cut out of my life, they did much more harm than good, but cannabis has been a gift from the gods.

@@Davey-TheDJ thank you
Literally everybody agrees that we should legalize it except boomers in Washington and the private prisons
Also Evangelicals, Pharma Execs, Alcohol producers, Tobacco producers...
It should be legalized but just for medicinal use. The plant itself isn't bad, but the smoke from it is.
@@diro5910 nah dude there shouldn't be any laws on marijuana except age restriction. its a plant that grows in the ground. imagine if the gov't tried to ban tobacco because the smoke is harmful, the public would go ape shit. marijuana literally grows naturally so no one should be able to make that illegal and then put someone in jail for life. Now, I can totally see how man made prescriptions should be illegal if not prescribed by a doctor.
Jonathan Lavigne do you think coke and shrooms and opium/heroine should be legal as well, by going off of your definition? Since they all grow naturally or some grow from plants? Just curious by the way, I do agree marijuana should be legal for adults as well but by going off of your reasoning then you should be in favor of other drugs being legalized or else it would be hypocritical.
Daniel shrooms should be. If not legal it should at least be decriminalized. Weed there should be no argument at all. Cigarettes are worse for you and they’re legal
"minorities were disproportionately targeted"
They have been the target this whole time, Nixon's aide even said so.
great video, what i think is super ironic is that Marijuana is legal in DC, a federal district, but not legal federally. it is so common for people in the surrounding states of DC to just drive there buy legal weed then drive home. So people literally buy their weed in the capitol city, thats within federal land, that says weed is illegal federally. crazy but true.
It's pretty much the same in Australia. Although not legal, it has been decriminalized in our capital which is also federal territory. Adults are allowed 2 plants.
@@ChasingDragons420 thats interesting to know, is there a big weed culture out there in Australia? i think it would be so cool to smoke a joint in the Outback haha
Whoa whoa whoa! You mean they are gifted the cannabis during the purchase of another item such as a t-shirt or hat. Last I heard, Noone sells cannabis in D.C. It's legal to have but illegal to sell. So people buy "hats" instead.
@PhuckMyMentalHealth that is crazy! I thought it was still SUPER illegal in Australia. I am glad to hear that's changed.
Also, WILD that it's decriminalized in the District but still federally illegal. I am surprised that I haven't heard about that being an issue.
I still don't get why there is so much antagonism against cannabis. Even though it was part of Western culture almost as long as alcohol..
Hell, Indo-Europeans might have spread the plant all throughout Central Asia too.
Because alcohol removes the inhibition to hurt others, making it good for war. Cannabis makes you more empathetic, and makes you stop and think before doing something rash.
Propaganda, same as today.

@@Greendragon420able Wuuuut?
@@Greendragon420able oh look another first time commenter trying to rile folks up!
@@cyrollan My comment is a factual statement. If you disagree you’re fucking moron.
The 20th Century really held back the potential of cannabis. It’s crazy to think before that it was so commonplace and normalized. While the U.S. probably won’t have any major changes until 2024, I think eventually it’ll be like Canada and be commonly accepted.
Back in the 90s I studied the cannabinoid receptor in grad school. This was hot new research back then, since endorphins had been discovered not too long before.
Would you mind sharing what you know?
Lee Flair I would be delighted. Have you got some questions for me?
birdsdaword What does cannabis do to these receptors?
Lee Flair Cannabinoids such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabidiol) bind to the receptors. The receptor crosses the membrane seven times. THC causes a high and also a calming effect and also The munchies, a desire to eat. Those are only two of the main effects because some people also get upset and paranoid once they have ingested a cannabinoid. Cannabidiol is not known for making people high but has been used as a medicine all the same.
The receptors are found in the bilipid membrane of the cell. Once the receptor has bound to the lipid bilayer there is a cascade of events starting with what’s called a G protein and there is a cascade of a The enzyme adenylyl cyclase and that acts on a variety of proteins.This is called a second messenger system. There are also cannabinoids in the gut. Ask me more questions maybe I can be more specific.
@@birdsdaword Well the real question after watching this video, is how it makes everybody violently kill their families with axes. Can you explain the pathway of that?
1978 New Mexico legalized Medical cannabis, Look it up! ;). Cali wasnt the first state, NM was!
So good, I watched and shared a 2nd time, despite the beeps. I can see regulation, and laws against drugged or drunk driving. But the ban, and the hemp ban is quite unreasonable. You need to do a "Hemp follow up", because that too, is quite a story.
Heck yeah. Thank you. Yeah, the hemp ban is quite amazing.
Then do the video, and tie the two videos together. Then there is the tie between gasoline and diesel buses, and the decline of streetcars.
P.M. Laberge street cars take special infrastructure and can not easily be maneuvered through suburban areas. The decline of the street car pretty much matches the rise of people moving away from urban centers. Buses can share the road with automobiles and have extremely low purchase cost and up keep cost when compared to light rail.
I (26 now) smoke weed almost everyday but there's a good chance, had it been legal, than I never would've tried it. So much of being a teenager is just doing whatever people tell you not to do. 100% the fact that it was illegal was a MASSIVE factor that got me to start smoking. For example I didnt and still don't drink, most likely because it's completely allowed and not taboo in the slightest which makes the whole experience seem boring to me in the first place.
It’s kinda funny how 5 years after they outlawed weed the Great Depression happened
No correlation

Not a good thing, your gunna die before everyone rlse, your gunna get a higher risk of cancer to.

I hated DARE when i had it in 4th grade, it made absolutely no sense when it said things like alcohol and cigarette use was 100% bad and should never ever be done (anyone who was in DARE knows how they used lies and propaganda to try and scare people) when people like my grandma (whos my hero) used them and was a seemingly normal (favorite person on earth). So when they talked about drugs i really just shut them out. Luckily i had people in my family who i respected, who gave me an honest conversation about drugs and there dangers, including Marijuana. To this day ive never drank, smoked cigarettes, or done anything other than weed; and i honestly feel this is more from the honest conversation i had rather than the scare tactics. Its not hars to imagine i wasent the only one who saw through the BS but we can also assume I'm in the minority who was given such an honest conversation. If youre and adult, you should be able to do to your own body what you please, so long as it dosent harm others, and i think the greatest thing we can do with kids is be honest with them about things like drugs, give them the facts and say "when you're an adult you can do with your body what you choose"
weed helped me stop drinking alcohol and the by product was i lost 75 lbs, weed helped me regulate my appetite, i no long smoke frequently but i use the lessons it taught me. mushrooms may have also had a play in it but that’s a story for another time.
That was very educational. Thanks for posting!
I've been subscribed to this channel forever and i always just saw mr beat as the presidents and us history guy. imagine my pleasant surprise when i look up history of weed and find this 😭
I think marijuana is a very pretty plant that grows basically anywhere and has a variety of mental and physical health benefits. That being said, like all things, there can be too much of a good thing, and I also think it has a variety of negative effects when used in excessive amounts or through the way in which the cannabis is consumed (smoking anything is harmful).
drinking too much water can kill you so yeah too much of anything is bad
The missuse of anything ( food , clothing , cars , & drugs ) can be harmful , though i like a good joint in the evening ❤✌️
@@nighthawk1962 druggies need locked up for good
Harmful or not, it should be your right to choose what you put in your own body. The government should have no say.
only disgusting bastards smoke that shit as they are completely worthless to society@@pixilatedsarin2408
Doesn't seem like a coincidence that TH-cam recommended me this video on 4/20 lol. Comparing the map in this video of states that have legalized marijuana just 6 years ago vs today is crazy. It's inevitable at this point within the next few years pot will be legalized nationwide.
Still relevant. Share with your friends and family. This kind of context is needed for many of our laws and social norms.
Still, still relevant. Praise be to the algorithm!
This will be relevant as long as the ATF and corrupt republican fucks use their power to abuse minorities.

Great video, thanks! Something interesting to note is that Australia hadn't decriminalised cannabis at the time of this video, although these days living in the Capital state allows growing (outside only) and some personal use allowed, however it's definite that at least medicinal patients can grow.
Sad things that the Laborgreens government will use potheads as a political tool
Happy 4/20 !!!
I am a kid of the 60/70’s. Illegal or legal if someone wanted it they could get it. I tried it twice, it did zero for me. So eh, whatever. I don’t believe that it is a gateway drug either.
Loved the presentation.
Many say that it doesn't become effective until the third try. If that makes any difference to ya.
Or you might already possess the personality traits which accompany usage, which is a possibility!

It’s not worth a third try, from where I am. Besides I was around enough of herbaceous smoke that it gave me a headache.
Side note, the practice of psychology requires a state certification with proof of education .
I learned from my Jamaican boyfriend that regular marijuana/cannabis growing from the ground is weaker because of all the seeds that is inside of the herb. He said something else about it but I don’t remember right now. Maybe it’s because I’m smoking some herb right now. But the marijuana that we buy now in the legal and illegal states have been modified so that the plant can grow all male herb, which does not get fertilized by the female seed that makes it weaker. If that makes any sense.
Thats mostly untrue

In 1993 I had to do a 1hr presentation on hemp and its uses in front of the whole university education facility (aprx 900 people) .
The things I found out about the links between cotton, a certain chemical company and those with links to both who were in the American Congress blew my mind and the minds of those who attended the lecture.
One of my predictions in the lecture was that "once they work out a test for driving Under the influence of cannabis, it will become legalised, produced by companies and taxed by the government."
Well done Portugal, you can buy drugs is some shops, where the shop sellers can give you advice and information about the site effect just like another's legal drugs. Actually decriminalize all the drugs in Portugal diminish the problems with those drugs, as the hospitals and clinics help any people in any circumstance who are addictive to get out voluntary, the addiction just like what happening with alcoholic people.
Great video. Can you do one on magic mushrooms? Especially with all the new found interest!!
The first frame is everything. Also, I love it here in Salem, OR, where we have more dispensaries than banks.
I need cannabis stories for songwriting...here's mine. I met a hippy that told me about smuggling weed over the Canadian border by kayak. He told me how he prepared his bundles so if they would have to be dumped they would become snagged so they could be retrieved. I won't be more specific than that in case there's someone smuggling for medicinal purposes. Long live the outlaws. I was raised by weed growers and smugglers and seen and heard a lot of wild stories but when I learned how that bongo badass named rob in the vw bus I met at the Rock slides did it I nicknamed him the 6 million dollar hippie. If you have an interesting tale I'd love to hear it. Remember to leave no left turn unstoned. 😎
That poor first guy to get arrested. He was definitely confused!
The music along with the narration is priceless! Legalize it!!!
I really feel like he was baked as fuck throughout this entire video
You deserve a world peace award for this historic work
Nobody:
Me, high, watching this video: 👁👄👁
Roughly 50% of Americans have used marijuana once, and 20% of those continue to use it every day. The federal government should legalize it, speaking on just tax reasons alone.
I love how everything in history touches China, Rome, or India. Galen was Marcus Aurelius’ doctor! An astute philosopher too
15:25 Since when is weed decriminalized in Nebraska, Arkansas, Tennesse, etc? I don't think that map is 100% accurate.
Yeah its not legal here at all in Tennessee.
Arkansas has legalized medical marijuana.
Well, I tried cannabis a couple of times, but it does nothing for me except scatter my thoughts and make me _more_ forgetful. It certainly does nothing for pain (but maybe it makes you forget you had it earlier on?) It's worst effects are for younger children - you should look out the studies on that. Otherwise, apart from posing similar dangers to tobacco, I suppose it's not too harmful.
Adam Mangler I am a couple of months into regular use and its really helped me deal with social anxiety. It helps me stay focused on tasks and places me in a state of relaxation after a long day of work.

One eventually gets used to the scattered thoughts and can gain benefits from it. Paranoia turns into introspection, which helps a person become a better one.
There is enough nicotine in one standard cigarette that, if injected intrave, it will kill you. They took a full gram of pure THC resin dissolved in alcohol and injected it into the jugular vein of a 25 pound dog m. They were going to kill it as the first step in the official laboratory establishment of the toxic dose. It’s the standard test for everything. Kill the lab animal, then cut the dose in half each test until one survives. The dog slept for 18 hours and had no permanent I’ll effects. One of the least toxic substances on earth.
Maybe should of put in a spot on Jack Herer and his book "The Emperor Wears no Clothes". I know this wasn't meant to be comprehensive but that book was very important to changing views on the subject.
I think Napoleon experienced a panic attack and I get it lol
All we need to do is legalize all drugs on all government levels and regulate the drugs as well as open clinics to be visited by those that want their opioid or amphetamine fix so they can be brought bacl after overdosing.

"marihuána Will be legal in decades"
*Laughs in hungarian
What does marihuana mean?
@@timteichmann6830 Hungarian for marijuana. Old phone corrected it
Is it legal there or not? I don’t know if you’re laughing because it is or isn’t.
When humans co-exist in symbioses with cannabis, there is more peace and creativity.
We own a medical/recreational dispensary. I can see many benefits in pain management (people prefer it to highly-addictive prescription drugs), and managing addiction, PTSD, anxiety, sleep issues, Parkinson’s or just for having fun.
Interesting that the first places to outlaw it were also decades later the first ones to legalize it, California and Canada
This just makes me angry. A similar thing is still going on with psychedelics.
I watch your videos while high
It's crazy to think how it only took a few lunatics in power to send so many innocent people to prison for decades. The way that they propagandise people into thinking that certain drugs are immoral and dangerous while at the same time keeping alcohol and cigarettes legal and those two are the two worst drugs on the planet! Alcohol kills more people a year than all the illegal drugs combined and tobacco?! I don't even need to talk about that one. The insanity of it all is just mind boggling.
Maybe because alcohol is a lot easier to get your hands on (local grocery store) and make rather than the other drugs lol
Just to correct, here in Brazil the possession of marijuana is indeed a crime, in theory in the trial there is a difference from the user to the dealer but in reality it depends on the color of your skin and your income, there are thousands of blacks and poor people in prison for this
Very interesting.
This is what I have been studying the past several weeks for graduate school! I figured I had all the information, I might as well turn it into a video. :)
Practical. But recall: "I did not inhale". PET, did!
The only thing I could do without are all the beeps and sound effects. A few less!
P.M. Laberge I guess I got a little carried away with the elevator sound effect :)
Mr. Beat's Social Studies Channel Might the topic have elevated you? MUST RUN!
Bruh! Good show. That was good herb you smoked cuh
Bro really said someone under influence of weed killed his family with an axe 😂😂 more like killed an entire bag of hot Cheetos in 5 minutes
Whoa! That was like a really good video man!
Nice work! Greets from The Netherlands :-)
Hemp is the English word for cannabis.
Cañamo is the Spanish word for cannabis
Hanf is no the German word for cannabis.
Kaneh bosm is the Hebrew word for cannabis plants.
Seeing that color coded legalization map in America 6 years after this video came out is wild
We need more cannabis experts to spread a positive message Ty for your expertise!
Drug bags need locked up for good
@@dr.squash4782 yes, not cannabis users🤷🏻♀️
Wow, learning about the origins of the war on drugs really turns my stomach. I'm not religious, but if I was I would say the devil has walked the Earth, and his name was Harry Anslinger.
Actually, Uruguay decriminalized drug possession for personal use in 1974, 2 years before the Netherlands
This should be called "A Brief History of Marijuana Through Today's Social Morality." Still some good info.
Now I see why you’re a HIGH school teacher (;
Weed plants are really pretty plants
does mr beat be chiefin that weeeeed
This video makes me want to smoke more weed.
I'm high while watching this
Mixed feelings are what l have concerning the less hard drugs, especially cannabis. On the one hand, as a libertarian, l believe that they should be at least decriminalized; but l desire to distance myself from unwholesome things of this kind.
You should try cuddling under the influence of marijuana, and tell me it's not wholesome!
I'm not sure cannabis is an "unwholesome thing". Everyone I know (including myself) becomes more loving on THC
Look inside yourself and ask what hangups you have that cause you to assign morality to something that has nothing to with morals.
@@dsxa918to need a manipulated state of mind/mood to enjoy banal things is pretty unwholesome
Actually marijuana was first legalized in Alaska in 1972 when the Alaska Supreme Court ruled nine to zero that using marijuana in your home was protected by the right to privacy. It stayed that way. In 1980's when George Herbert Walker Bush tried to get the Alaska legislature to make it illegal. That required a constitutional amendment. None was passed. This is why we did a legalization initiative in 1999 to use the campaign as a way to educate Alaskans about their right to privacy including the use of marijuana and to then expand that legalization..
Daily smoker for 15 years and very successful. Can't attribute the success to the drug but it didn't hurt. God bless Canada and Justin Trudeau, thanks homie.
Poor memory. I use it sometimes for add. It honestly does help. Slows you down enough that u think things through and don't forget where u put stuff as much. Maybe he had add
Question -- how is marijuana legal in states like Washington and Colorado when the federal laws against selling it have never (yet) been overturned? Or is the Fed just like "meh, whatever."
The Fed is just like "meh whatever." They just don't enforce the Controlled Substance Act.
Thanks! That seems kinda . . . lazy.
Def not enough government resources to enforce it now.
@Dugroz well the the states that voted for it has told the federal government that they will not waste the resources.
@@iammrbeat It is a little more nuanced than that. Federal law enforcement (eg, DEA) concentrates its limited resources on drug trafficking organizations and illegal opiods. Getting into a pissing contest with states over clinics etc would be a waste of resources. Since Sessions is no longer the AG, I doubt that this will be a priority. However, bring in less than an ounce of marijuana through US customs and, if caught by CBP agents, one is facing up to one year of incarceration and a $1000 fine. So yes, the Controlled Substance Act is being enforced.
Mr Beat I'm a big fan. I'd like to suggest an episode on Yellow Thunder Camp that began in 1981. It was a hostile takeover of Federal land in Victoria Canyon in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The was named in-honor of Raymond Yellow Thunder, who died under mysterious circumstances in Gordon NE. There was also the burning of the Custer County courthouse in 1973 by militant AIM supporters, and activist and later movie actor Russell Means was involved.
"You may start wearing your sunglasses at night and people might call you such names as 'Pothead' and 'Smoky McBongwater'."
My buddies and I loved that line lol, I probably butchered it though its been a long time lol
your the best history teacher ever!
1975 ravin act up here in alaska plus now in 2016 it is legal to sell in stores again and they are selling out O_O
i don't smoke it myself but im glad to see how wow the stores,sellers and people are doing now that it is decriminalized at least on the state level
what a huge difference the culture of cannabis is compared to when i was a kid back in the 80s
Definitely! When I was a kid, I was taught that cannabis was just as horrible as crack. The times have certainly changed, and Alaska has always been ahead of the curve.
I'm pretty sure it's incorrect to say that "cannabis seeds had been consumed recreationally" in Ancient Greece, or anywhere for that matter, because I don't think cannabis seeds have any "recreational" value, being that - like hemp - they don't have enough of a concentration of Of psychoactive cannabinoids like THC to induce a cannabis intoxication
Seeds were definitely consumed in ancient times. It wasn't for the "intoxicating effects", it was as a food source

Hope this helps you with your quest for the truth
Yeah, Dylan's got the wrong perspective on the particular point, in part because the word 'recreationally' was used so vaguely. Different seeds have different oils, nutrient and proteins, and that's nutritional fact.
That said, I'm pretty sure it's been smoked in places since it was discovered.
Whoever said hemp doesn't get you stoned is a liar. It's all cannabis! True make plants or immature fems won't get you high but mature female "hemp" is just weed
I met the president of Norml in Phoenix when I was 17. He came into the restaurant I worked at. Not really met, he walked by in a corridor and my coworker pointed him out. Nice video, I didn’t catch anything that was wrong. I heard about the family being axe murdered. The version I heard, in a book called Marijuana Reconsidered said the guy was psychotic and the family doctor told the family he should be institutionalized. The family didn’t do it, and then 6 months before he did it, he smoked 1 joint, that was supposedly all he ever did. The book said that was the linchpin evidence in the congressional hearings.
This video was awesome and taught me a lot of new cool things. (Watching while faded)
mr beast give me money
mr breast
Time for national legalization! This has gone on long enough.
I looked thus up independently but I'm glad it's you doing this video.
I love to smoke weed while I watch Mr. Beat videos.
