I agree with your comments on human culture. I would quote King Solomon, though, in that "...there is nothing new under the sun." I think you'll find that mankind has always looked for ways to "get happy". I mean, for gosh sakes, what about those people who lick those toads that secrete an hallucinogenic fluid? Who was the first guy that said, "Hey, I think I'll lick this toad. Maybe I can get a buzz going!"
I don't know that all the assertions of this article as to when MJ was first smoked have any validity (trying to draw a connection between Jesus first public miracle at the wedding feast in Cana and canabis being a derivative of Cana is laughable) but I would venture to say that there was probably some ancient guy who was the first "Lone Stoner" if he happened to stumble across some hemp! LOL!
By the way, I do like your screen name. Shows you're not some wishy-washy fence-sitter, eh?

"There is nothing new under the sun."
Okay, we've agreed so far. ;^)
I'm in favor of getting the government out of the 'dope' business, however.
It's not good for America or its Constitution.
"Vanity, all is vanity."
Maybe we can agree on that, too. ;^)
