BRING DRUG ON MY BIRTHDAY, NOT MY FUNERAL

The world’s oldest stash of marijuana has been discovered in a 2,700-year-old tomb in a remote part of northwestern China. The 789 grams of dried weed was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man who was probably a shaman for the local Gushi culture. The scientists who discovered the stash also claimed that the marijuana was definitely cultivated for psychoactive purposes and had a high content of THC, although a precise percentage could not be calculated. “To our knowledge, these investigations provide the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent,” said Dr. Ethan B. Russo, and American neurologist who was part of the team. “It certainly does indicate that cannabis has been used by man for a variety of purposes for thousands of years.” (TheStar.com)
