What I’d like to know is who was that first person to come across a cannabis plant and say to themselves, “Hey. I wonder what would happen if I smoked that”.

Whoever it was, I’m a fan.

Archeologists think it may have been a Scythian from the West Eurasian Steppe some time around 1500 BCE: ISTR they dug up a bronze bowl in (?Ukraine? Bulgaria?) and found that the crud still clinging to it was cannabis resin: it’s thought they burned the weed under the bowl, then picked it up and huffed the smoke.
But for whatever reason, they never got around to inventing the bong….
