The World’s Oldest Stash: Scientists Find 2,700-Year-Old Pot
Scientists have discovered two pounds of a dried plant that turned out to be the oldest marijuana in the world. Inside one of the Yanghai Tombs excavated in the Gobi Desert, a team of researchers found the cannabis packed into a wooden bowl resting inside a 2,700-year-old grave. It was placed near the head of a blue-eyed, 45-year-old shaman among other objects like bridles and a harp to be used in afterlife.
At first, the researchers thought the dried weed was coriander. Then they spent 10 months getting the cannabis from the tomb in China to a secret lab in England. Finally, the team put the stash through “microscopic botanical analysis” including carbon dating and genetic analysis, and discovered the stash was really pot.
The fact that the weed had a chemical known for psychoactive properties called tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, or THC, led scientists to believe the man and his community probably used it for medicinal and recreational purposes. According to professor Ethan Russo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Botany, someone had picked out all the parts of the plant that are less psychoactive before placing it in the grave, therefore the dead man probably didn’t grow his hemp merely to make clothes.
If marijuana aged like wine, pot users might now be in heaven. But the weed had decomposed over the years, so no one would feel any effects if they smoked the artifact today.

there have been a bunch of european lookin mummies found in china,and they smoked weed cool.
ICMAG: notes worth noting..
1: It took 18 months to 'transport' that 2 pound or 4.5 Kg from China to UK, maybe they took the long route or the dea took an interest, my new tv didn't take that long...?
2: How does this guy know what the long term effects of THC are, that grave was a very dry and cool place
3: Blue eyed shaman ...how did they know that ...?

Maybe they made herbal tea with the cannabis...who knows right?
Maybe one day archaeologists will unearth a mummified Anasazi chief in a remote cliff side with a corn husk full of American land race cannabis and a necklace made from gigantopithecus teeth. The world will be shocked and appalled. Fingers will be pointed, careers destroyed, and pants soiled.

That's awesome!!
How about I bet you it never happens? Zero archeological remains of Cannabis has been found or seeds or pollen in the Americas that was pre-1492, why is that? Because it was not here.

I don't need the link, thanks.
I get no thrill if I win or lose, so I don't gamble.
I never gamble, never, but this is not gambling, it is just me taking money from someone that thinks there might of been Cannabis in the Americas pre-1492.
Find any proof that Cannabis was in the Americas pre-1492 and let me know about it, until then I bet it will never happen.....
