Marijuana and the PygmiesCarl Sagan, The Dragons of Eden, Speculations on the Origin of Human Intelligence p 191 footnote (pb edition 1978, copyright 1977)
"In defense of the Pygmies, perhaps I should note that a friend of mine who has
spent time with them says that for such activities as the patient stalking and hunting of
mammals and fish they prepare themselves through marijuana intoxication, which helps to
make the long waits, boring to anyone further evolved than a Komodo dragon, at least
moderately tolerable. Ganja is, he says, their only cultivated crop. It would be wryly
interesting if in human history the cultivation of marijuana led generally to the
invention of agriculture, and thereby to civilization. (The marijuana-intoxicated Pygmy,
poised patiently for an hour with his fishing spear aloft, is earnestly burlesqued by the
beer-sodden riflemen, protectively camouflaged in red plaid, who, stumbling through the
nearby woods, terrorize American suburbs each Thanksgiving.)" |
