From ancient temples in India to the dispensaries of modern California, marijuana’s story is one of rediscovery, repression, and reinvention. Once a sacred plant offered to the gods, it became a scapegoat, a symbol of rebellion, and finally, a regulated commodity.


In this episode, we trace 5,000 years of humanity’s relationship with cannabis — from prayer to prohibition, from medicine to paperwork. Along the way, we’ll meet the emperors, mystics, merchants, and lawmakers who each claimed to define the plant… and the people who quietly kept using it anyway.
