“A mammoth is any species of the extinct elephantid genus Mammuthus. They lived from the late Miocene epoch (from around 6.2 million years ago) into the Holocene until about 4,000 years ago, with mammoth species at various times inhabiting Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Mammoths are distinguished from living elephants by their (typically large) spirally twisted tusks and in at least some later species, the development of numerous adaptions to living in cold environments, including a thick layer of fur.

Perhaps they did the same elsewhere to tame other wild animals such as horses on the Steppes, where Cannabis has also long been culturally prevalent? The timeline of both fits.
“ABSTRACT
Several elements presented in this paper suggest that Epigravettian Hunter Gatherers of Mezhirich (Межиріч, Ukraine) used the Cannabinacea species, hemp (Cannabis) and hop (Humulus lupulus), to feed, tame and sedate mammoths leading to a radical change in the herd age profile. Furthermore, this paper also demonstrates that there are similarities between the engraved mammoth tusk found in Mezhirich and the painted stones found in Riparo Villabruna and Riparo Dalmeri (Epigravettian rockshelters, Italy) suggesting a following migration.”
