Cannabis was used as an intoxicant as early as 2,800 years ago
Cannabis is one of the most commonly used psychoactive plants today. However, it is difficult to determine archaeologically how cannabis was used in prehistoric times. Plant parts such as flowers, leaves and resins are perishable and therefore rarely survive. It is known that cannabis served various purposes, such as the production of oil or fiber, and was not used solely as medicine or a drug.

Sharvari spots 'Wagh in the nature' as she enjoys safari with her sister
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Actress Sharvari, who was recently seen in Alpha, went on a safari along with her elder sister, Kasturi Wagh. On Wednesday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared a series of pictures and videos from her outing. The siblings also spotted a tiger during their safari. She wrote in the caption, Wagh in the nature referring to her last name. In one of the videos, the actress can be seen casually sleeping while her vehicle treads the off-road during the safari. Meanwhile, on the work front, the actress is awaiting the release of her upcoming film Yeh Prem Mol Liya in which she stars opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. Earlier, the actress had shared a heartwarming glimpse of her bond with her mother as she revealed how she turned her mother's treasured pink Patola saree into a special outfit for the promotions of 'Yeh Prem Mol Liya'. She took to her Instagram, and recalled how her mother gifted her the saree after watching 'Jhumka Patola' for the first time. Sharvari said she was touched by the love and pride reflected in her mother's eyes, who then handed over the beautiful saree to her as a blessing. Sharing the story behind the outfit, Sharvari revealed that the pink Patola saree was a cherished family heirloom that her mother had worn over the years and associated with several special memories. When my Aai watched #JhumkaPatola for the first time, I will never forget the love and pride in her eyes.. she gave me her beautiful pink Patola saree as a blessing! An heirloom she has adorned over the years and made so many beautiful memories in, she wrote. The actress said reinventing something so precious to her mother and wearing it during the film promotions made the experience even more meaningful.

A new spin on catalysts: A roadmap for smarter chemical reactions
Electron spin is a quantum property that makes electrons behave like tiny magnets. It can influence how electrons interact with each other and how chemical reactions take place. But what does this have to do with producing fertilizers, making cleaner fuels or improving energy technologies? What connects all these processes is the use of catalysts, materials that help chemical reactions happen faster and more efficiently. By controlling electron spin, scientists may be able to improve how these catalysts work, opening up new possibilities for more efficient chemical processes.
