      Hi @tiny
      People didn’t invent it as such, cannabis is a plant.

      But people discovered that smoking it can cause strange effects. Generally the immediate effects are pleasurable, and it’s only after a while that we notice that there are negative effects too. By this point people are already using it so it’s hard to stop them once they have started.

      Great question, thanks!
