Weed Discovery?

Just thinking tonight, how do you think it was discovered that you could get high from smoking weed? What were their intents when they made the discovery?

It was used for burning in yurts. There are multiple threads on this, UTFSE.

im sure it was found out through the same way we found out what plants we can eat...and cant eat. Maybe they where throwing stuff in the fire to keep it going, and they through some MJ and felt effects from the smoke. The rest is history

well...coffee was first eaten before it was made into a drink form. They would roll the Berry's into animal fat and make pasty balls that would give them energy in battle. Arabia started brewing first.
sorry...had to say it. Did a shit load of coffee research last month. haha

Well, Shiva was out wandering around after a family dispute when he saw a Cannabis plant thriving in the hot merciless sun. He rested beneath it in the shadows of it's leaf. He started eating the plant and he found it to be very refreshing and pleasurable, and it quickly became his favorite food. He then brought cannabis from the Himalayas to humanity as a refreshing and rejuvenating tool for direct experience of the divine.
The Hindu explanation is as good as any I guess.

they probably enjoyed the smell when throwing it in fire and the more they snelled the more high they got Then they needed some controlled form of fire to create smoke from certain things with

You thought you'd actually have to know anything about coffee other than order names and sizes to work there?

Foragers in the China region harvested the seeds for food. Ate some of the green husks with the seeds, got high.

I work at a coffee shop sometimes. I dont even drink coffee. Hate the shit, like the smell though. I have learned much about coffee though, and even more about marketing through pretension works best. Tanzania Pea berry... sounds elite, here is 2 dollars, ill take one. Id like a breva latte with skim milk....wtf? I get this type of shit everyday. Can I have a skinny mocha with xtra whipped cream? are you going to McDonalds later to have a Big Mac and a DIET coke as well? People have no clue what they are buying, as long as it "sounds" cool....and fuck starbucks for trying to redefine what a macchiato is! it doesnt have caramel. These people sip their 60% sugar, 30% flavor, 10% actual coffee drinks and talk about "how much i need my coffee in the morning". Go buy some cotton candy, because you are no connoisseur of coffee. Fuck your decaf espresso, fuck you and your "expresso". No, we dont have soy milk for your cherry cappuccino...oh you didnt want any foam on your cappuccino? ah, well what you want is a no-foam latte then, and what you need is a swift kick in the teeth. Coffee drinkers are the scourge of the earth. Want your drink "extra hot" here is your scalded milk, i took it all the way up to 200 degrees just for you, lets see you hold your head and eyelids up all day now. Lemme get this straight...you want a turkey sandwich, and something to wake you up....hmmm, tryptapham and espresso... But the one that gets the big vein popping out in my forehead and neck is "lemme git wonna dem French Vanilla cap-chino's, ya'll got them dontcha? like at the conveeeenient store?". Let me assure you (all of you) that you are in a psycho-somatic loop, i fuck with people all day long, giving them hot chocolate instead of a mocha - no complaints, decaf lattes - not even a peep, hazelnut instead of vanilla- not a clue. You are not a connoisseur, you are an addict, and not even of caffeine, but addicted to your morning swagger as you traipse off with your designer Styrofoam cup in hand telling everyone you meet how much you need it, raising it in the air giving that wide-eyed head tilt/shake that infers how little sleep you got.
....k, I'm done...that is my monthly rant about how shitty coffee drinkers are....
