But the seed has no psychoactive compounds in it. Unless "seed" here is not meant literally or misinterpreted?

I do like the idea that the original use was in a hot box though.

Or maybe not just the seeds. Maybe it was the whole buds and seeds and Herodotus or whoever told him, not knowing what the active substance was thought it was the seeds.

And why is no one talking about the fact they never bathed? No amount of being high would cover that up.

They probably didn't get high. Wild plants have pretty low THC levels compared to a domesticated strain.

IDK, if you sat in a hot box constantly throwing ditch weed on to burn, you'd probably get high in <10 minutes of constantly breathing it.
