Found world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.

He had the right idea.Maybe it will turn up on ebay

 

[t-dub]

Would you vape that shit? With my immune system deficiency I would have to pass, but if I was healthy I just might give it a whirl

 

[u bwade wunner]

Would nt be my idea of Fun .but Ive seen people smoke a lot worseamazing though the THC was still intact after all those years

 

[t-dub]

I would love to medicate with some 2,700 year old weed

A blast from the past Tdub

No doubt

I found this odd . . .

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.

I totally understand the blue eyed Caucasian having such a nice supply of medicine he wanted to be buried with it. I'm genetically similar and am thinking about being buried with my VapeXhale Cloud but what was he doing in China?

 

[u bwade wunner]

Maybe he was looking for the cloud.But he was a bit early .They said Jesus was a white man walking through Jerusalem 2000 years ago.My Mom sure believes that.

Vape an ancient shit, get ancient high.

 

[u bwade wunner]

I wonder if they tested it so to speak.a perfect vape to do that would have been an old city diffuser.I used to live near both newgrange and stonehenge.Loved that shit.those people were way ahead of us.Pop idol fucks with our minds too much.Good thing though TVs come with an off button

I remember this story from a while back, and the thc wasn't intact, but they could detect that it had been there both from decay-stuff/metabolites/however you call it being present, and the genetic examination yielded that it had the genetic make-up of a 'drugtype'(high thc, low cbd)

recently they found traces of cannabis in an even older grave here in the netherlands btw but not so well preserved as this find, I'm still waiting for that find to pop up in more places since the date of that grave is before the date that cannabis arrived here(the date sources online give for the arrival of cannabis around here), so I think that find could have some consequences(apparently it was used medicinal, sine it was found together with traces of another plant that is used against nausea or o if I remember correctly), but still the only record I've seen of it is in dutch newspapers, right after the find, and no mention that it is a special find(beyond that it is always special to find such an old grave)

Amazing stuff,Doesn t surprise me one bit.i have met many dutch people on my travels,extremely resourceful enigmatic bunch.Its Fascinating that tribespeople were so knowledgable about plants and herbs and how they lived their lives by the stars sun and moon for navigation ,crop planting ,harvesting in those days..i think we owe it to ourselves to learn and know about medicinal plants before that knowledge disappears.not that it will completely, however people tend to channel their energies into other areas nowadays.im a firm believer that natures very own medicine cabinet grows all around us in abundance.I have no intention of becoming a number in a pharmacists book as i grow older.

789 grams though.He would get fleeced if he were about today especially in china,death penalty?
Hemp was banned in the US in 1937.It must have been everywhere,hard to imagine now.It really was reefer madness.its looking good so long as Mitt doesn t get in and mess things up.

yes even neanderthals likely knew the healing power of plants, recently I read an artice that they found starches on neanderthalteeth(in the plaqua) suggesting plants were a regular part of their diet, but also specific healing plants were identified by the starches, plants that don't taste well and so most likely are ingested because of healing properties(since those plants are still known for certain mediconal properties)

a lot of our medicines still come from plants tough, but they try to isolate the active ingredient and chemically manufacture it, put it in a pill and charge us(or our insurances) a lot of money for it. we distance ourselves a lot from nature, I think the popularity of vegetarianism is also a sign of that, and I also heard a funny story about it:
there was this girl that was interning at a farm(she did agricultural school/studied agriculture). one time the farmer's wife happened to see a letter she wrote or was writing to her parents. in that lettter she told it was weird there, they(the farmer's family) made her eat weird long green things that came from a plant(it were beans)

very true I remember seeing in my local freezer store frozen vegtables with added chocolate flavour to encourage kids to eat their greens !

Getting late here and time to turn in
