I, for one, was not familiar with him. Thank you for mentioning him.

I would be interested in some of those early chinese cultivars and highland nuristan types. They most likely no longer exist in that form.

The BC med scene was where I first heard about how we should be feeding our endocannabinoid system

Not only is it all mammals, its ALL Animalia, period! All vertebrate and invertebrate species on the planet have been found to have it. From us to the primitive Hydra. I think only some insect(anthropoda) species seem to be devoid of an endocannabinoid system 
Talking over 700 million years worth of species have some type of endocannabinoid system or receptors.

I could believe that.

Ah, at the risk of going off-topic here. have you looked at when the majority of our vegetable/fruit and animals were domesticated?
Majority are right before or right after the Younger Dryas. Supposed nomads with zero knowledge nor written language somehow domesticated all these species of plants and animals all around the same time?
Heavy doubt…

Yeah, that sounds like something a person with the word bread in their name would say

More informations in this picture:
(from https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/history-of-medical-cannabis.html for better resolution)
The study they mention In the video says the estimated domestication of cannabis goes back to 12000 years ago.

Impossible to say. But I’d guess the first thing that attracted us to this plant would be… the seeds! Lots and lots of edible seeds! You could spot them from a mile away!
Seeds were super important food for early humans.
the same day we discovered the plant as a food source, and started trying to break it down to take with us, we probably also discovered it has great stringy fibers in the bark.
early man was ALWAYS on the lookout for plants that made good string/cordage, for making traps, tools, repairing clothes, etc.
The discovery of it getting you high might have come the same day too, or maybe years later. Probably went like: “Bruh, those seeds we collected earlier left this sticky mess all over my hands. I rubbed it all off into this little greasy ball. It smells good! Should we burn it and see what happens? Maybe it will keep bugs away?”
Next day: “Bruh, that was awesome!! Don’t eat all those seeds! Bring some with us. We gotta plant this everywhere we go!!”

It happened at dif rates in dif areas. But yea, it is what the data supports. it’s open to further corrections, but so far none seem to be contenders.
No one ever said they were ignorant nomads who didnt understand biological processes. That’s a false position created by the psuedoarchaeology folk.You can see how the data in your first pic shows how climatic swings lessened substantially during the warming at the end of the Younger Dryas period. it would seem pretty likely this meant there was enough long term stability for people to consistently experiment with domestication before it was successful.
just going to drop this here.

it’s wrong though. proven fact that until the early 20th century and the demonization of weed by the us govt it was accepted as medicine. the leaders are who made it illegal and continued the propaganda against it that still continues.

Truth. They say ignorance is bliss…but ignorance only keeps one in the dark.
Why oh why would they launch such a propaganda campaign on the populous? Hmmm… 
It’s deeper than just money and regulations… IMO
So (often self) called “leaders” are an elite class making it’s living by exploiting others for their own crazy level of wealth. Not just one boogeyman, but worth, many, with conflicting interests.
Follow no leaders but yourself and you’ll be in a better place.
But that’s my take

That pic is a great example of how I think we got some of the first really psychoactive effects from cannabis.
“I was gathering seeds all day and my hands are covered in this sticky goo.” eats it. “o boi”

I believe that we ate pot and mushrooms as early primates. They made us “human”.

Just so no confusion here that diagram is for ice core temps and has little to no relation to the air temp. Especially when you are considering it as a global indicator. Why? Well because of latent heat of fusion.
The enthalpy of fusion is the amount of energy required to convert one mole of solid into liquid. For example, when melting 1 kg of ice (at 0 °C under a wide range of pressures), 333.55 kJ of energy is absorbed with no temperature change. The heat of solidification (when a substance changes from liquid to solid) is equal and opposite.
I’m putting my money on shrooms before weed.
