History of people smokinf reefer and cigs

[jponder]

I have wondered about this for a long time.



When I was young I smoked some pot albeit it was 10+ years ago. Sometimes I smoke cigs when I am drinking. The question is, where did the Idea of smoking plants start!



Someone had to do it first and how many plants did they smoke before they found one they liked? I mean most people might put Pot on the indians, but the Europeans had Tobacco before the new world started or did they?



Anyway, do you think that people were just smoking oak leaves and pine needles and different forbes and Legumes before they found the right ones to smoke for some effect?



Did the greeks smoke stuff?



Those guys must have smoked alot of poison ivey and ginseng till they found the right stuff.



I'm just here watching Blazing Saddles thinking about it. Since this is a thread about smoking well I have a funny story about my daughter bringing a Stoner to my house.



Nevermind, I'll tel it later, so do yall think that people basically smoked every damn leaf on the panet or what?

Yes they smoked every leaf, some still do. Can't really blame the indians for pot either. The peace pipe really was tobacco.

Was watching either Discovery or some other cable channel when I was in college.



They were talking about mummies that they supposedly found that some of those people had been drug users. Been long enough, so I don't recall what it was for sure.



Could be true or total BS. Who knows.

I'm with Matt

Where is this even close to the main topic at hand here? I'm totally lost on this one. Maybe someone smokes something before they go down the track or something.

The gassers get mad when we smoke around them.

My friend told me that....

... smokin' weed is more cost effective than booze (pound for pound... haha!!) and you don't get a hangover.



He also said that you tend to eat insane amounts of food and laugh at everything.



You're killing brain cells no matter what you do.

smoking

humans started to smoke so they could carry fire with them this eliminated the need of staying in one place. This is easier than rubbing sticks and banging rocks. .





That is the answer and that is why smoking started. Then we found that different plants did different things. .
