<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2875881, member: 42773&quot;]Well, like so much about the ancient world, we can only make educated guesses. Herodotus reports that the Scythians made incense from hemp, other psychoactive substances like henbane show up in Viking graves, and the consistent use of cannabis appears in Arabic sources around AD 1100. Language and translation are always issues though - we assume these various sources are talking about cannabis because of the effects described.</p><p><br /></p><p>Native Americans figured out that drying and smoking tobacco leaves gives you a little high. I think we can safely assume that Europeans figured it out for marijuana buds, as they were surrounded by hemp being used for other reasons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
