The First Time Humans Got High | Boring History for Sleep

Tonight, we travel back to the earliest edge of human history—before cities, before writing, before rules—when one strange plant (or honey… or mushroom… or vine) may have cracked open the first doorway to an altered mind. “The First Time Humans Got High” is a slow, immersive bedtime journey through the ancient origins of intoxication, ritual, and the human obsession with bending reality. From accidental prehistoric “oops I ate that” moments… to deliberate shamanic traditions… to caves where the walls might have breathed under torchlight—this story explores how early humans may have discovered mind-altering experiences long before science had names for them. In this episode, you’ll drift through: A prehistoric first high (chaotic, hilarious, and terrifying) Reindeer + red mushrooms + early shaman rituals (yes… that ritual) Cave art, sacred spaces, and visions under stone and smoke Mad honey from the Black Sea hills—sweet, dangerous, legendary Amazonian ayahuasca: “the vine of the soul” Göbekli Tepe and the idea that beer may have come before bread South American yopo snuff ceremonies and community trance And the ancient poppy—Mesopotamia’s “joy plant” This isn’t just about getting high. It’s about how altered states may have shaped myth, art, ritual, and the earliest human imagination. 🕯️ Best experienced at night: dim the lights, put your phone down, and let the story carry you. Comment your city + time so I know who’s listening with me tonight.
