A recent study indicates that humans may have been using cannabis as early as 2,800 years ago. This research sheds light on historical practices involving the plant.

Excavations at the Tunnug 1 burial site in Siberia uncovered more than 1,000 cannabis seeds. This finding offers substantial evidence of early cannabis use in ritualistic contexts.

In the 4th century B.C., the Greek historian Herodotus documented the customs of the Scythians, a nomadic group. He described a unique ritual where they threw cannabis seeds onto heated stones. This act produced a smoke they inhaled, hinting at the ancient practice of cannabis use.
