No it was definitely salt flavored lol, just thc infused

before cannabis was burned with technology it was burned by naturally occurring fires caused by lightning strike or volcanos.

humans walked through clouds of cannabis smoke, those who had a genetic mutation allowing them to get high from the smoke chilled out, while the rest of them were overwhelmed with the world's poo poo and died of stress. hence those with the superior getting high gene survived and are our ancestors

This is honestly the most reasonable explanation

Buy a gram of wax/shatter
Buy a bottle of liquid coconut oil from the cooking aisle
Pour some oil over the hash in an oven safe bowl
Oven them for an hour at 220⁰
Put into any food, sauce, topping, shake, malt, glaze, blend into ice cream (which I guess makes a shake,I can't recommend a shake enough) etc

I used to use coconut oil for years, but I've come to really dislike the taste so these days I just use unsalted butter with my vape leftovers (plus soy lecithin). I make a small batch every couple of months and it is pretty good.
The new Mighty I got recently produces some very good quality vaped out weed there without any burns so the taste is pretty great.

I usually make kettle corn with that butter and, ummm, because I am a horrible pig with poor self control I end up eating the entire batch in a few hours and then I need a few days t-break lol

Sure, to kill germs, but in this case the heat changes THC-A, abundant on cannabis plants but having no effect on your brain, into ∆9-THC, nearly absent in most cannabis but talks straight to your brain and makes you tie-dye things and want to talk about space. ∆9-THC works because you have receptors in your body for an endocannabinoid, a cannabinoid your body creates, called anandamide, and it just so happens that it fits lock and key in those receptors. It will never not be at least a little spooky to me. Same with opioids, frankly, even with the process of getting opium out of poppies being a little easier.

Yeah you have to work to get that taste hidden. It will also definitely obliterate your tolerance. Eating a whole gram of hash will also put you to sleep for two days, I don't care what your tolerance is to start with

e in conclusion, its the dog of plants, and I'm assuming the story, whatever it is, has at least similar themes, where the plant needed the people and the people needed it, but it must have happened so long ago

A few years ago I made cookies with an RSO extract. They were dosed to my tolerance. I don't like edibles where I have to eat a bunch as I am not interested in too many extra calories.
A couple of friends came over for an evening get-together. I warned them to take a small bite and leave it at that. But no, both of them ate a few cookies and before too long they were just melting into the kitchen table moaning.
When I went to bed, they were still sitting there like that.
When I got up next morning, they were still sitting there like that.
When I came home from work that day, they were still sitting there like that.
Eventually they went home that next night.

They never had my edibles again.

Also RSO edibles are loving disgusting.

im just referring to how people discovered these things. whether it's cooked food, weed, opium, tobacco, or incense we likely figured it out from being close to naturally occuring fires and breathing the smoke and eating the burned animals and veggies left on the ground. and i mean, cooking does all kinds of lovely things besides just killing germs, this is how we discovered carmelization, baking, etc.

2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”

I make my butter a little on the weak side on purpose to avoid this happening, and I still end up feeling high for like 12+ hours at a time if I eat a tablespoon of it. Your friends are braver than me though; I once called 911 because I got & stayed too high for too long of a time from eating TWO tablespoons of weak butter in one sitting. I was so freaked out that I didn't even care about the possibility of getting arrested.

One reason I've heard for the evolution of cannabinoids is to prevent herbivores from grazing too much on the plant. Like the horse or aurochs would get a little high from eating it and wander away.

it takes hours to get high that way though surely a horse could devour an entire cannabis plant pretty easily before it kicked in

it could also just be the same idea as with many tasty fruits - animals eat it and later poo poo out the seeds, propagating the plant. they like getting high so they keep coming back and doing so
