Hagen, Ph.D., Chair ___________________________________ Barry S. Hewlett, Ph.D. ___________________________________ Robert J. Quinlan, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to thank my committee for their guidance, expertise, patience, and trust. These are: Edward Hagen, my PhD chair, who introduced me to evolutionary approaches to substance use and provided countless hours of mentoring and advice; Barry Hewlett, who opened my mind to anthropology and who introduced me to the Aka; Rob Quinlan, who introduced me to field work and urged me to apply to the evolutionary anthropology program. None of this would have been possible without the Aka, who graciously agreed to participate, who found humor in the questions and tasks asked of them, and who provided assistance in the field. It has truly been a great experience working and spending time with them. I would also like to thank the people of the villages of Bagandou, Kenga, and Moboma, CAR, for their hospitality, especially my research assistants, Mesmin Dopeningue, the late Nicaise Molende, Alaine Guy Kolet, Aubin Mongosso, and Eduard Mboula, without who’s help the project never would have been completed. There are several professors, colleagues, and associates who helped along the way. These include Dr’s Marsha Quinlan, Bonnie Hewlett, Nicole Hess, Brian Kemp, Colin Grier, Courtney Meehan, Cara Monroe, and Roger Sullivan, who provided additional support and guidance. Also, Haley Mann, Jennifer Roulette, Mark Remiker, Mirdad Kazanji and the rest of the staff at Institute Pasteur in Bangui, all of whom helped in data collection and/or analyses. Thanks also to Elsevier and John Wiley and Sons for permission to reprint, as well as to the anonymous reviewers for their comments and suggestions. iii Finally, I would like to thank my family. These include my parents--Marie and Fred Snaza, Scott and Debora Roulette, and Steve and Ellen Wilcox—as well as my sister, Saidi Roulette, for believing in and never giving up on me, and for all of their support. My wonderful daughter, Emma, who provided me with a new focus and perspective that helped propel me through the finish line. And most importantly, my amazing wife and colleague, Jennifer Ellen Wilcox Roulette, with whom I shared this journey and whose love and support made it all possible. Thank you all! iv BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY OF TOBACCO AND CANNABIS USE AMONG AKA FORAGERS OF THE CONGO BASIN Abstract by Casey Jordan Roulette, Ph.D. Washington State University May 2015 Chair: Edward H.Hagen Little is known about substance use among extant hunting-gathering populations. I therefore conducted one of the first biocultural, and biomarker validated, studies of tobacco and cannabis among the Aka foragers of the Congo Basin. Because tobacco and cannabis contain anthelmintic compounds, and because the Aka suffer from high rates of helminthiasis, I also tested a hypothesis that recreational use of neurotoxic plants helps defend against parasites. Self- and peer-reports of tobacco and cannabis were collected from all Aka residing in the study area (n=379). Detailed questions about substance use were asked among a subset of these. Because female use was low, I restricted saliva, urine and stool sample collections to men. Saliva samples were assayed for cotinine, a nicotine metabolite; urine samples were assayed for THCA, a metabolite of THC; a subsample was genotyped for the CYP2A6 enzyme, which metabolizes nicotine. Stool samples were assayed for intestinal helminth eggs as an index of worm burden. Aka men pay more for tobacco, yet have a higher smoking prevalence (95%) than men in most other populations, whereas Aka women have a low prevalence. Aka thus have one of the largest known gender differences in smoking. Tobacco is widely shared, and might play a central role in this defining aspect of Aka culture. Significant negative correlations between cotinine and worm burden and THCA and worm burden were found. Treating helminths with a commercial anthelmintic reduced cotinine concentration two weeks later, compared to placebo controls. Significant negative rank correlations were found between year 1 cotinine concentrations and reinfection by year 2 and between year 2 THCA v concentrations and reinfection. Finally, younger and older participants with slow nicotine-metabolizing alleles had lower worm burdens compared to those with extensive metabolizing alleles. Tobacco advertising cannot easily explain the high prevalence of smoking among Aka men, nor can socioeconomic disparities, proscriptions, or the addictiveness of nicotine easily explain the low prevalence among Aka women. Aka smoking might be better explained by internal, rather than external, cultural and political-economic factors. In addition, these results provide the first support for the hypothesis that substance use helps defend against parasites. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ....................................................................................................................... iii ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................................................v LIST OF TABLES ..................................................................................................................................ix LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................................................x 1.

  • A Brief Legal History of Marihuana
    A BRIEF LEGAL HISTORY OF MARIHUANA \ By MICHAEL R. ALDRICH, Ph.D. A "DO IT NOW" PUBLICATION A BRIEF LEGAL HISTORY OF MARIHUANA MichaelR.Aldrich~~ '2 .~~ AMORPHIA, Inc ~ The legal history of cannabis begins before the dawn of writing, as part of the world's oldest religion for which we still have the scriptures. This shamanistic, sacrificial religion was practiced from Turkestan to Mongolia by fierce nomad tribes including the Aryans who brought it over the Hindu Kush into India during the second mil!enium Before Christ. It~ rituals were preserved orally by chanting mantras forward, backward, skipping every other line, etc., until around 1500 B.C., the ceremonie~ were written and became the four Vedas, the oldest completely preserve<! religious texts on earth. Marihuana is m~ntioned in the Atharva-Veda, compiled between 1400 and 1000 B.C., in a Hymn for Freedom from Distress which addresses the whole pan the on of Vedic gods and includes the verse, Five kingdoms of plants, with Soma as their chief, we address: Soma, darbha, bhangas, saha, kusa grass; may they free us from distress. 1 Soma is now thought to be Amanita Muscaria mushroom; we are not sure exactly which plants are meant by darbha, saha, or kusa; but bhangas is clearly marihuana, and hemp has been known as Bhang in India ever since. From this prehistoric invocation we learn that marihuana's earliest use was magical (both medical and religious) in a ceremony "for freedom from distress" or "relief of anxiety," which implies that its psychoactive power& were known to the Vedic worshippers.

Until recently, HCannabis sativa has been classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance in the US. The Agricultural Act of 2014 (Farm Bill) allowed for reintroduction of industrial hemp under a pilot research program. Acreage increases and addition of state legislation resulted in over 78,000 acres of hemp grown in 23 states by the end of 2018. Hemp became a legal commodity under the 2018 Farm Bill, and by the end of 2019, over 500,000 licensed acres were documented across 45 states. Canada re-introduced the crop in 1998, and in 2018, almost 78,000 acres of hemp were licensed and planted. With this increase in acreage and the lack of modern scientific data, university and government agricultural specialists began to work on various components of production and a range of realized challenges. This new information, however, had either not been shared or was not readily accessible to the scientific community, especially early results and nonpublished data. The first annual meeting of the Science of Hemp: Production and Pest Management was held on October 10-11, 2019 at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY.

  • Hashish As Cash in a Post-Soviet Kyrgyz Village
    Hashish as cash in a post-Soviet Kyrgyz village Hashish as Cash in a post-Soviet Kyrgyz Village Gulzat Botoeva Department of Sociology, University of Essex Wivenhoe Park, CO4 3SQ, UK 1 Hashish as cash in a post-Soviet Kyrgyz village Abstract This paper discusses how hashish produced by the local population of Tyup, Kyrgyzstan became an important source of cash in an agricultural semi-subsistence economy. The paper is based on a research study conducted between 2009 and 2010 that adopted a mixed-method approach to data collection. I gathered 64 semi- structured interviews, 147 structured interviews and made ethnographic observations of the livelihoods of the people of Toolu village in Tyup region. The local population of the region become involved in hashish production due to a cash deficit in both the agricultural economy and wider society from the beginning of the 1990s. Privatization of land as a consequence of the neoliberalization of the economy left many families with small share lands which are insufficient to provide market surplus. Agricultural products, therefore, are mainly consumed by the majority of farmers, turning the economy of the region into a semi-subsistence agricultural economy. In the context of such a cash deficit economy, wild-growing cannabis plants are used not only as a cash crop but are symbolically turned into a form of cash and a source of informal credit. People can pay for goods with hashish as well as obtain advance payments and credits for it. I argue that hashish making assists the agricultural rural economy by allowing people to obtain goods, advance payments and credits to use for the cultivation of land, their everyday needs and maintaining social relationships.
