Stoned Ape Theory.
What an interesting thought. Especially if you wind back time to megafauna and megaflora eras where we had armadillo's the size of VW bugs. Or Dragonflies with a 2 foot wingspan. I believe the oxygen content is boasted for this gigantism of the ecosystems. They get fossilized bark from those eras that have air trapped inside, and it reads at something like 63% oxygen which is way more than we have today. (I'm going to have to re-read that paper and brush up on all those stats but i'm fairly positive thats the gist of it.)
Imagine a 50-60ft tall cannabis tree. The fuckin' smell boys. When I get anything in my garden over 8-9ft the smell permeation starts to increase drastically.
Something along the lines of bacteria back then was unable to break down lignin in dead plants. Bacteria use oxygen as they break down carbon rich material, lignin stopped this until they evolved. This is suspected to be the reason for the high oxygen levels of that time (35%?)
But I think I read another theory which I cant recall. Very interesting though...if we were alive then but as we are now, we would be the ants. The fly on the wall.

The most ancient fossils of Cannabis (as Cannabis oligocaenica) seem to have been found in GERMANY, dated to the Oligocene Epoch (34-23 millions of years). View Image
