So I was listening to Q107 Yesterday and the DJ told of a story about a cave in Africa that depicts the oldest of civilizations. Neanderthals, Cavemen, whatever you call it, something many anthropologists have debated on and on again, but what really took me by surprise was that on top of being one of the oldest civilizations, this civilization is one of the oldest narcotic users in the world. Now contrary to popular belief despite what many stoners say, Marijuana was not the worlds first use of narcotics even though it's been around for thousands of year. There is another an older plant that if this turns out to be true than no wonder the world is fucked up. I am talking about Ephedra.

This plant has been around for over 10 000 years, maybe more and it's the precursor to alkaloids, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. In plain English our ancestors were taking the key ingredient to Crystal Meth. Way before Breaking Bad popularized it and especially way before the Nazis used it for part of their experiments.

To put it plainly for all the talk about the dangers of narcotics, we are literally millennia descended from the world's first Meth Heads. And much like how Crack effects babies in the womb of an addict, I believe this may have been one of the keys that changed us physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually.

To me, it just explains to god damn much about my view of the world, but to you guys, what do you think? Would it explain a lot based on what you see around you?
