Thankyou to Richard Rose on Linked in for alerting me to my favourite cannabis story of the week.
One reason why you’d have to back the Ukrainians over the Russians
ABSTRACT
Several elements presented in this paper suggest that Epigravettian Hunter Gatherers of Mezhirich (Межиріч, Ukraine) used the Cannabinacea species, hemp (Cannabis) and hop (Humulus lupulus), to feed, tame and sedate mammoths leading to a radical change in the herd age profile. Furthermore, this paper also demonstrates that there are similarities between the engraved mammoth tusk found in Mezhirich and the painted stones found in Riparo Villabruna and Riparo Dalmeri (Epigravettian rockshelters, Italy) suggesting a following migration.”
