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.

I often think about what it would be like to be alive in those days. I've contemplated writing an adventure novel that is based around surviving and era of Mega-fauna/Flora.
I might have to include their discovery of giant cannabis plants among the foliage in my writings XD.

Concur. The views of smart thoughtful experienced people sure cheer this old Hippie up. Nice to reminded that critical thinking and curious minds are not extinct all over. Not to mention the pleasure in reading someone can string a sentence or three. Lj

Guerrilla grow from the early 80's. Mostly mixed sativas. When art was more popular than science. But not bad for the day. Visited this spot a few years ago after 35 years. The native forest, stream and pools full of Galaxos Minnows are gone. The whole place has been razed to plant Monteray Pines. Welcome your 21st Century neo liberal world.

Images posted previously are scans of Kodak transparencies and a few B&W images. Taken with my trusty Pentax Spotmatic ll with Takumar 1.4 SMC lens. Bought in Singapore 1972. Dragged it around through SE Asia in 1979 where it documented my travels.
In Penang, we quickly learned Aceh weed had the reputation. (The famed Sumatran Red). Came from just across the ditch. Great shit. But it wasn't everywhere. Our local guy introduced us to some neat gear. I think he just like the company of us Hippies. Most of the stuff cost peanuts or was gifted. He was a local connoisseur no question. Papaya pipes and the like. School for stoners. Took us to a really good den owned by a really old dude in his late seventies. His opium, we found out later, was the good stuff. We learned how to smoke it using the lamp with and his 100 year old pipe. It was very congenial. No chasing the dragon stuff for us. We were just looking for a little adventure and a some hands on education. Great experience. No regrets. But for some... a different story.
Some Italian guys walked through gates of our little jungle stay in Penang near Taluk Bahang one day. (See B&W of girls playing volleyball in compound among Indo pics). They arrived right out of Burma. Dressed in British WW2 kit. Big baggy shorts and matching short sleeve khaki shirts. Immediately loved our place... a well run jungle camp with crystal clear stream as bathroom Cheap, amenable and friendly. The Italian guys said they had about 10 Thai sticks... and could they move here and bring the gear? You don't have to be a genius to see how that went. Next night arrives. One Italian guy, not familiar with Thai sticks, pulled out the stick, cut it in half and rolled a big doobie using big 666 glueless papers. Enough in one joint to have lasted me weeks. By the time the joint was half way into round two... everybody was talking at once. This stuff was the real deal. Next minute, one of the Italian guys got the screaming meamies. We had to walk him around for 30 minutes and splashed river water over him. Eventually did the trick. He never touched anything after that though. The rest of us were happy lining up to buy our new friends beers... encourage them to maybe stick around a few extra days.
The next good stuff was in Toba a few months later. A bud from a local guy. Pliable with resin. Nailed the five of us for hours. Never saw the guy again. Not surprising as I was a pretty hard bargainer. (Down to tin-taks at that stage). Think it cost about 500 rupes... around 80 cents in those days. If I had of known, and saw the guy again, would definitely have had a whip around. Then bought more and dished up a nice big tip. No penance that time tho.
Reckon I had some of the last of the good old days as a 'traveller'. Before the backpacking industry kicked in like a tsunami. Eventually killing places like Bali. But those views may just be conceit on my part. The pics may bring back a few memories for some. Remember it all like it was yesterday. Lj

Amazing , Incredible rare accurate cannbis history .
In 1883, the discovery of a pair of plant fossils in Germany was reported, which were identified as leaves of a species of hemp, cataloged as Cannabis oligocaenica Friedrich, with uncertain dating, hypothetically considered of the Oligocene epoch (34-23 million years fa) (Friedrich, 1883a, pp. 165-166).
