Weed. It’s a drug. It’s everywhere. It’s on every gas station corner assuming your state isn’t frozen in the past. It’s socially acceptable – one might even say it’s a budding industry that’s high on success. However, what do we really know about it? The plant itself, I mean. How old are these organisms? Have they always been psychoactive? What have they seen to get to the point where our species could cultivate them into the super-THC-rich GMOs we have with us today? Happy 420, everyone; I figured it would be a great time to delve into a topic that’s as unique as it is intriguing – the evolution, or paleontology, of weed.
