As a professional in the cannabis industry, I hate watching most documentaries about cannabis because they get sooo much wrong or rely too heavily on input from the companies they coordinate with. This "short-umentry" is one of the best out there. Thank you PBS. I shed tears of joy seeing how far the cannabis discussion in our nation has improved. But we aren't done yet.

Cannabis is one of the few, and definitely the most well-known, dioecious annual plants, meaning it lives only one year, but has separate male and female plants. This is a major factor in why the plant is so unique and why it can be grown for so many different uses in so many different places.
Not all cannabis is dioecious.
Lots of hermaphrodites in the wild and most strains will turn hermaphrodite under the right circumstances.
and wasn't it the female plants that are more sought after? As a grower -layman I have only seen my neighbors grow operations and never bothered to learn how to it works myself, she does employ day laborers but they speak a language I don't.
I love the idea of early humans hot-boxingand then realising "whoa wait we could grow _food_ too!"
Probably realized how long they had to walk just to gather some tasty stuff and where like, bro we gotta make the snacks come to US. Basically the domestication event was the original GrubHub... but like literally with grubs.
The munchies lead to the dawn of human civilization.
Well yeah, after getting high they had the munchies.
Well if you think about it an underfed organism is a stressed one, leading to them being in physiological state of stress / fight or flight; aka not having reserve energy to think things through all the way in lieu of instinctual behaviors. Whereas a well fed one has more resources to pool into cognition, thus creative pursuits to ascertain and resolve problems around its environment in novel ways.

Long time ago I worked at a brewery. We had hops growing outside as a decoration. We also knew a few local cannabis farmers. One hazy weekend a branch of MJ got grafted on to the hops. It totally worked! We never got to see what it would taste like as hops or weed. One of the bosses noticed it and got angry. Ripping it all out. Even the stuff that wasn't involved.

Fun linguistic fact about cannabis: the words cannabis and hemp actually come from the same root word! There’s a much older Indo-European word, hannapiz, which turned into hanap in proto-Germanic languages and kannabis in Ancient Greek!

Weedborn's CBD products are amazing!
People often underestimate how important the invention of rope and string must have been to our ancestors. Fiber crops like hemp would have been perfect candidates for early domestication since the benefit of consistently having rope for bows and slings is very very clear, even in areas where food was not scarce and the benefits of domesticating plants for food may have been less clear
Honeysuckle was a big thing to the British in the Stone Age, because rope was made from the stems.
@robrod7120 - The Neanderthals made string, but I don't know if it was made from hemp fibers. It is a POSSIBILITY, but not proved, that they used the string for weaving. They were certainly smart enough to recognize the importance of garments. Smoking? Sure, they breathed in hearth smoke, but cannabis............?
One comedian suggested that the word "Canvas" was a corruption of "Cannabis." After reading some of these comments, I'm certain the comedian was smoking _something_. But what or how much, I have no idea!
@@matthewcox7985 Canvas was originallly made from hemp fibre, hence the name is derived from Old French canevas, ultimately from Latin cannabaceus. Modern canvas may be made from linen, hemp or other fibres.
@spitt3640 Carrying things is an extremely important ability for survival and efficiency. Imagine how hard it would be to collect berries and only have your hand(s) to hold them. Discover fiber and weave a basket or sew pockets pretty quick after that
Considering the way it was used in the funeral, it was clear the civilization had experience with the plant, so it's first use was most definitely way before that point.
Yeah, totally agreed. Long enough for this plant to become a core feature of their important cultural ceremonies.
Burnt organic matter is also very fragile and hard to find in the archaeological record. If the hemp-type and drug-type varieties did really diverge 4,000 years ago, its psychoactive use would probably be at least that old. But I suspect it's not a coincidence that this one plant is so amazing at so many things and that it was domesticated so early; I think there must have been some awareness of its mind-altering properties even around 10,000 years ago. But that would be pretty impossible to directly prove.
I, on the other hand suspect, it would take them almost no time at all to make that step. Just about any excuse would do 😂
First Confirmed use. it's a fragile plant so there is not much historic evidence to go on in the first place.
@@HuckleberryHimtraditional hunter gatherer type cultures tend to be extremely aware of the types of plants in their environments, so no doubt people have known for ages that it has a psychoactive effect. Same with opium poppies, mushrooms, etc. As long as there have been people , people find what gets you intoxicated

Fun linguistic fact: the English words "cannabis" and "hemp" are actually the same word. "Cannabis" is the Latin name for the plant, and was adopted by English in the 18th century. "Hemp" meanwhile is a word that has been in English since the beginning of the language: while only one syllable today, in Old English (from the period between 400 and 1100 AD), it was a two-syllable word, "henep" (or "hænep"). Since Old English branched from other Germanic languages (English is related to Dutch, German, Norwegian, and other languages of the Germanic group), there is an even earlier form of this word that would have been used by the original Proto-Germanic culture: "hanapiz", a reconstruction by linguists (since it does not directly appear in any writing we have). And "hanapiz" shows a very systematic resemblance to Latin "cannabis", meaning that these are ultimately the same word, which likely originated in a language closer to the Central Asian/Tibetan homeland of the plant. One more word is connected to these: "canvas". This word entered English in the 14th century from Anglo-Norman, a Romance language closely related to French and used in the government of England at the time. The Anglo-Norman word was "canevaz", and referred to the sturdy fabric we still call "canvas", but in origin the word meant "made from hemp", because "canevaz" (and "canvas") are the local Romance descendants of the Latin word "cannabis". Incidentally, Latin itself got the word "cannabis" from Ancient Greek "kannabis", which in turn, as mentioned above, likely originated in a language near Central Asia/Tibet.
We still use the word 'hennep' (nl)
Really cool comment, just wanted to point out that the two words being etymologically related doesn't make them the same word. "Hemp" and "cannabis" would be doublets.
@@whoops9443 True, 'same word' is a little vague, doublets is indeed the correct term. English has so many fascinating doublets (and triplets!)
@@magichands135 That's really cool! As far as I could find, Dutch (and Afrikaans) is one of the only Germanic languages that kept the second vowel in this word into modern times. It looks like a few dialects of Low German and Central German may be the only other ones.

Exactly it has its benefits but people view it the same way people look at synthetic drugs and hard drugs which is absolutely stupid because it’s just a plant!
@@jjj3417to be fair, there is tons of "synthetic" drugs that are just synthetic recreations of real life chemicals found in plants. Many plants can kill and are extremely toxic. "It's Just a plant" does not mean it's completely harmless, that being said, all the research and data on cannabis shows that it's mostly harmless
@@jjj3417what does it being just a plant have to do with anything? Plants can be toxic and poisonous too. Weed is soooooo much better for pain and the such than some many other types of drugs; but it definitely also triggers schizophrenia and badly affects cognition. But there are plants that if you took one puff of would kill yoi IMMEDIATELY.
It's also been proven helpful for MS. The UK and Canada have done research. There's an old video of a gentleman, who could not control his muscles, then takes a hit for the first time.

Cannabis is an incredible multi-use plant, so it makes sense that human beings noticed it and exploited it from an early stage. I'm reminded of the speculation that the natural fermentation of gathered grains, with its resulting intoxicating alcohol, may have been an essential catalyst for the agricultural revolution. It really is so arrogant and silly to criminalize an organism that evolved in nature.
I don't know... perhaps not with cannabis but I think having restrictions on poppy's and such to be pretty reasonable.
This a main reason it was made illegal. It posed a serious risk to the wood pulping industry while also predominantly having the “undesirable” classes use it as a drug. Thus two birds were struck without even a stone.
Great video to show someone who is freaking out on cannabis, chills you right out.

Reminds me of ayahuasca. When researchers were in the Amazon studying the Amazonians, they asked them, out of the thousands of plant species how did you know which ones to use? The Amazonians responded, "The plant spirits showed us."
Just like the orangutan with the poultice who was kissing the tree afterwards. I’d bet that it’s a natural primate function to communicate with the plants that has become dormant in modern humans.

Considering it very powerful anti inflammatory properties it would make sense ancient cultures would cultivate it and use. On top of that the fibers that they produce produce even today some of the best natural rope in the world still. Especially if you consider India and Ghee. Infusing butter with cannabis would allow you to rub it on sore parts of the body working as a painkiller way way before tylenol.
not just ropes. Hemp quality as a textile is well known and still extremely used for clothing.

Congratulations on making what will be the most watched PBS Eons video ever. 🤩 To be honest, at the end, it just got me angrier that it was so illegal to the point of destroying people's lives, throwing them in jail for long sentences, and for what? Unbelievable. Something that goes back to the very dawn of agriculture. Mindboggling.
I felt the same exact emotion. Like the audacity to make a plant which was domesticated before WHEAT illegal. ASTONISHING
This is the kind of bandwagoning I can get behind! Informative and entertaining. For those who partake, this hopefully shall serve as a "gateway" video to the other PBS Eons videos. Something tells me Mary Jane and deep dives into primordial subjects will be a mind-bending combo.

This is the only PBS Eons topic that I have extensive previous research in
Greetings from Vienna, which, back in the day was the Northern Roman Empire’s rope-making centre. Rope, in those days was made from fibrous plant material, and the best of the best was hemp, or cannabis. This has left its mark, in the shape of some of the local beer, which instead of using their cousin, hops, some local beers, in season, are brewed with hemp, rather than hops, for the bitter taste we love. And it’s delicious.
