#3This coincides with the Dryas impact era - there seems to be a lot of cultural advances, settlements, and other artifacts that pop up around that time. It seems very plausible to me that many of the discoveries aren't the first of their kind, but the first reimplementation after humans began to rebuild.
The Dryas impact is a fascinating event - if validated, it has the potential to shake up a lot of the currently accepted historical model of human civilization.

The impact hypothesis suggests a global hellscape was caused, radically and rapidly causing massive flooding- a likely source for great flood mythologies found in almost every culture.

#4Since this is the first cannabis topic I've seen on HN, I have lots of questions/ideas/problems I want to share. I'm going to post them in no particular order. Maybe someone has a solution
>I like weed as a productive drug, it's stronger than caffeine for me, but I develop tolerance and addiction quickly. Any solution to the tolerance problem? Quitting/breaks is obvious.
>Is investing in weed stocks encouraging drug addiction/use? Is it ethical to promote drug use?
>Is there a way to microdose? I'd like to be able to have tiny, controlled amounts every time.
>Is there a solution to munchies?
>Has anyone been able to convince a fortune 500 company that they need(medical) marijuana for work? As mentioned I'm significantly more focused, but I don't like the social stigma. I already have the job, it's purely a cultural/social problem.
> Are my memory problems due to weed or is this just age? (When not using) I feel like I've lost lots of childhood memories and I have more difficulty than ever with names.
>If my focus is better on weed, is there something else I can do for focus that isn't drug related?

#8So 4000 years before rice? I’m not subject matter expert, but this doesn’t seem quite right.

#10Where I come from, we used to grow cannabis plants and use their seeds to feed birds kept in cages, in captivity. Birds liked the seeds and were singing a lot when feed on them. My garden and that of many others was fully of over one meter high cannabis plants. We had no other use for it. I learned it was a drug only when capitalist world reached us. Now, it is illegal to grow it.
Related: My grandma, now 93, used to say that tea made out of poppy seeds was good for babies that cried a lot. When given that tea, babies slept quite well. No adult I know, ever made use of that. I am not sure about that now.
Seeing 12000 years ago cannabis plants via current lens could lead to incorrect interpretation.
