Radiocarbon dating of the seeds places them between 800 and 760 BC. Researchers analyzed preserved hair from the burial mound. And, the burial also showed evidence of horse and human sacrifice.

Human consumption of psychoactive cannabis dates back at least 2,800 years, which is 300 years earlier than the oldest documented cases. Radiocarbon dating on some of the more than 1,000 seeds deposited in a Siberian tomb helped establish the time of origin.

Radiocarbon-based models estimate extinction later (post-2000 CE) across the species’ range, suggesting inherent uncertainties in radiocarbon dates and their calibration may constrain their applicability for detailing extinction processes on conservation-relevant timescales.

Texas during the Last Glacial Maximum was on average 5 C cooler than today, with summers 2 C cooler. The mean annual temp of Texas can be up to 20 C today (although some parts are colder), I think they'd be okay at 15 C.
