How old is your stash? 2700 years old?

OTTAWA – Researchers say they have located the world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.
The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly ``cultivated for psychoactive purposes," rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.
The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.
The extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odour.




It was good stuff-but you wanted more an hour later.

 

holy shit

 

i don't understand how it still exists.. you're figure that shit would biodegrade eventually

 

ha i wonder if it would still get you high even though it must likely wouldn't

 

Fuck you OP, I saw this today, but decided not to post it.

haha, good call

 

789 grams?! lol...that's awsome:sifone:

 

well thanks for clearing that up for me!!

i read like all of it except that one part lol

 

lol not a problem...

 

Those dudes who found it are defiantly stoned as fuck right now.

 

i'd like to find that much weed just hanging around or something haha

 

its coal ..

 

Pretty cool. But it also really makes you think about how people found out it was actually psychoactive... I mean a bunch of fools were smoking anything that would burn until on day they were like ... dude, omg.... this is so different compared to smoking pinecones and strawberries

 

no its COAL!.. not cool.

 

Man!!!! I saw this earlier and thought it was a joke!!!!! Holy fuck!!!!!




Edit: your right orison it is coal!!!!

 

it was most definitely eaten a long time before it was ever smoked.

 

If I was one of the researchers I woulda came outta that place stoned as shit & been like yeah I didn't find anything good and then totally horde the stash, or sell it.

 

LOL!

I'll bet someone was just burning the plants for heat or something, and after getting high as fuck made the connection between the plant and being high.

 

There were 800 grams when they found it
