"Nearly two pounds of still-green plant material found in a 2,700-year-old grave in the Gobi Desert has just been identified as the world's oldest marijuana stash, according to a paper in the latest issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany.
A barrage of tests proves the marijuana possessed potent psychoactive properties and casts doubt on the theory that the ancients only grew the plant for hemp in order to make clothing, rope and other objects.
They apparently were getting high too.
He and his international team analyzed the cannabis, which was excavated at the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China. It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl in a leather basket near the head of a blue-eyed Caucasian man who died when he was about 45.
"This individual was buried with an unusual number of high value, rare items," Russo said, mentioning that the objects included a make-up bag, bridles, pots, archery equipment and a kongou harp. The researchers believe the individual was a shaman from the Gushi people, who spoke a now-extinct language called Tocharian that was similar to Celtic."
Much more in link...
Does this story prove to you that marijuana has been used for recreational purposes centuries ago..? What are your thoughts..? Does this change anything..?

calling it the oldest, as with any find, may be a misnomer.
The things we discover on/in the earth need to be more carefully viewed as PART of the story, as opposed to all of the story.

How do we get some of these ancient strains? Illegal Drugs? If this has been around that long ago why the hell should it not be a legal drug? Gateway Drug, whatever everyone will try what they want to try, the American Government caused this pandemic with ICE (Crystal Meth), as well as other hard drugs because the restrictions and the need to regulate Marijuana. I would guarantee that is weed was legal less people would do hard core drugs.

...That they had friends that actually buried that with them and did not replace it with oregano tells me volumes....the ability to be in concert with the Universe and enjoy the bounty of Nature was more a part of humans many thousand years ago...it diminishes every second...and they call that progress....Golden Ruler...Will
