The Intriguing History of Native Americans & Cannabis Use
The Intriguing History of Native Americans & Cannabis Use
The marijuana plant’s not picky about where it grows … but it never made it to America until the white man brought it with him. Can you imagine why it became one of the most beloved ingredients in the Native Americans’ peace pipe!

SO MUCH BULLSHIT CANNABIS WAS USED SINCE INCA AND AZTEC TIMES ANOTHER PALE EUROPEAN THINKING THEY KNOW IT ALL
White Privilege Patriarchy https://cannabisdigest.ca/ancient-north-american-hempsters/
WRONGO!!! Fuck this shit was here before any human beings could find the hole to put it into!!
You People are Liars
mexican indians had cannabis
I thought cannabis sativa was grown natively in California.
I have said to many times that a marajuiana should be passed around to the Democrats and Republicans. Just imagine the things that would get done. A divided house will never win.
Nah marijuana has been here. Also psychedelics as well. Many native cultures in the Americas including the Caribbean would use psychedelic plants for ceremonies and spiritual enlightenment
White people did not bring marijuana. Its all over the world duhhhhhh hahaha.. not everything is WHITE PEOPLE –____–
Corruption made it illegal, obviously huge interests earned accordingly by all involved, i.e. cigarette manufacturers and F.D.A. officers.
I don’t think so…they have been smoking weed for thousands of years ago before the white man.
This is Bullshit, as A Choctaw Indian myself, I KNOW that Many tribes Used more than just tobacco in their pipes INCLUDING Marijuana. And our pipes NEVER were called "Peace" pipes, They are called smoke pipes and ceremonial pipes!

i smoke cannabis to honor my ancient roots and for controlling my autism
Wrong MARIJUANA always were in the Americas..
They SHOWED EUROPE CORN AND THE POPE WAS SOO HAPPY
CORN= MEANS ALL FOOD PROCCESSING
ABORIGINES OR DARKER NATIVES WHO BEAT THE VIKINGS HAD IT

Natives definitely got high off THC they have definitely found that in pipes
Ppl are seriously ignorant, how do you outlaw something that God has given us, it clearly states that he has given us ALL green and it is good . so why or what gives man the audacity to say it’s no good and is Satan’s lettuce. We let ppl rule us that don’t even believe in the God they preach to us . they also ask you to swear on the bible that they don’t follow themselves. And then we ask why other ppl hate us. 🤔
Weed was the peace pipe
🧢 it was Marijuana in America
Red willow bark as well
You’re awesome!🤗
Aboriginal Americans… We Definitely had Weed before the arrival of Europeans. Aborigines of Americas had already established trades and had Ports, And Trade Routes Before European even thought of coming to these Shores. This is the New World for Europeans, Not For Real Americans, Aboriginal Americans. There were trades from Ohio to Brazil, Who Do You think Navigated the River Boats While the Europeans Observed ?… There Are over 300 Plants/Foods that were from Americas and Took Other Places To Feed the Needy, Even Today Americas Feeds the World
it should be remembered that anthropologists actually do not have good relationships with local native americans so take their information with a pinch of salt
It’s a sacred pipe and only tobacco was smoked….🤦🏽♀️
This Marijuana bill needs to be presented to a “joint committee”. 🤪
EUROPE WAS POOR HAD NOTHING. HAD POTATOES WALKING THE MOUNTAINS DRIVING PPL OUT AND FULL OF THE PLAUGUE
I never knew that
bunch of fuckery in the comments…. mostly bc of fuckery in this video…. facts matter
Instead of the presidential debate all the cantidates should just have a smoke sesh.
I like your video but the Indian hemp is a little bit off you thinking about the landrace associated with North America it was the only hemp the natives had access too. The Europeans had brought a wider variety Better seeds. (Thc) All hemp is in the cannabacae family check the genus and phylum
Bottom line thc is what we all need
Bullshit lady 😂
I’m sure natives had cannabis and you guys actually had hemp.. and what the white man brought was trouble….. no words
All these people saying that the natives had it. Did they? Yes but only later the plant is native *ONLY* to Central Asia I mean you can find it growing wild in the jungles of Vietnam I remember seeing it when I went deep into to jungle for the anniversary of my grandfather who fought in Vietnam but the plant brought over around the 1900s I find it weird that it was brought to North America in the 1500s
Native Americans had cannabis like the Aztecs the whites took it all
Damn the original strains be like the REAL OG KUSH
Thank you for information.
🪴🌱🔥🚬😎🌽
i don’t trust this history coming from a white woman. let indigenous people tell their truth for themselves. they aren’t mythical creatures that exist in the collective imagination. they are real and they are among us, many who are scholars and story tellers.
What a misguided idiot this woman is. GARBAGE!
When Europeans brought it over they were not smoking it but using it as medicine. It was in mexico were the marijuana transformed and people started smoking it and cultivating it to smoke. She making it sound Christopher colon was out here smoking big.
If congress smoked the pipe Hostess would be blooming
Is ancient hopewell pipes with thc. Tested even had bongs so maybe later on when whites arrived it was not used. Like mounds wernt. U find that on YouTube the pipes . Either adeana or hopewell area
Eye LOVE U
Nah, it’s funny how so many say cannabosm come from Asia, or that it didn’t grow in America until ‘the whait maan’ came to what they call America. Landraces are all over the globe, you can find herbs everywhere in the world, in Afganistan, Ecuador, etc literally everywhere. Every country has it’s own herbs as well growing wild then cultivated.
Sorry but as a black Indian, African American/Seminole bloodline. I will have to dispute this information. We used cannabis in our family for generations way before Europeans knew of it. It is funny how it grew in our homes and gardens and of how we knew all the health benefits and consumed it through smoke, teas/tinctures, and foods long before and even after it became "illegal". Sighs now that the "medical" community are now "proving" what we knew and said all along Europeans of course want to cash on and take credit for this plant. I’m not surprised. 🙄
Bull Sweat, There was THC residue in pipes tested at the Heard Museum 1990.
So, the marijuana plant in America was none existent until Europe arrived? Not buying it.
Give you a bag of bud then sell you The Brooklyn Bridge
"Emotional liberation" emotional..
Im 99 percent sure you have indian hemp backwards. I have always heard that cannabis grown for fiber in those days was reffered to as hemp and cannabis grown for medicine or recreation was known as indian hemp.
The Yourapeeing had to be on drugs,, wearing wigs and shit, LMAO
