[snip] Once upon a time, cannabis and humulus (hops) were the same plant. About 27 million years ago, cannabis and hops diverged from their common ancestor and evolved as separate botanical species. [/snip]
Sounds like they were makin’ beer. That’s a better fit, right there.

Marijane flowers would make one heck of a skunky brew.

Maybe they just weren't that motivated to leave until the chips ran out.

Thanks for the ping!
Cannabis was used medicinally in the old world & in America until the early 1900’s.
Shame there was ever a federal prohibition placed on it at all. What a waste.

Hemp was probably grown to make cordage and sails for their boats. Rowing is hard work and sailing by wind is fun. They may have smoked it as well but its primary purpose was utilitarian.

“Everyone in Middle Earth left The Shire alone just to get the leaf supplies. I’m tellin’ ya, something was going on with those furry-footed six-meal-a-day do-nothings.”
That made me laugh and choke on my second breakfast.

There was a beer down at the class VI that was so ridiculously cheap I had to buy it. It had a name something like “Sallienbruei” or something like that that came in bottles similar to Grolsch (I cant presently find anything similar in searches). When I opened the first one my whole room stunk like skunk. It tasted worse. I dumped it out and swore I would never open another.
Not sure what to do with it the case sat there for about 3 months and one day I was eating a sandwich and got hard up for something to drink so I opened another. That one tasted pretty bad but I managed to get it down.
A couple of weeks later something possessed me to open another and it was still incredibly skunky but this time it didn’t bother me so I drank the rest of the case.
It quickly became my favorite at least in part because others stopping by didn’t want anything to do with it and of course that’s all I had.
Your proposed brew might find a dedicated following of those with the acquired taste.
