OMG! DUDE!!! ill pay $8000 just to smoke a bit of that.. :blsmoke:

I wonder if they find some seeds in there...

Here i let you the link http://current.com/items/89586218/huge_stash_of_marijuana_found_in_ancient_tomb.htm

And for those who dont know how to follow links here is it

The world's oldest stash of marijuana has been found in far western China, according to an article in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

An ancient Caucasian people, probably the Indo-European-speaking Yuezhi whose fair-haired mummies keep turning up in Xinjiang province, seem to have buried one of their shamans with a whopping 789 grams of high-potency pot 2,700 years ago.

That's about 28 ounces of killer green bud, worth perhaps $8,000 at today's street prices, and enough to keep Harold and Kumar happy for a couple of days.

"It was common practice in burials to provide materials needed for the afterlife," lead author Ethan B. Russo, a practicing neurologist and prominent medicinal-marijuana advocate based in Missoula, Mont., tells the Canadian Press. "No hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was supplied."

But the researchers couldn't tell if the weed was meant to be smoked or eaten. No pipes, bongs or rolling papers were found in the tomb.

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus relates how the Scythians, Iranian-speaking nomads who roamed the steppes to the west of the Yuezhi in the first millennium B.C., liked to throw marijuana onto bonfires to induce trancelike states. It's possible the buried shaman followed similar practices.

EDIT!!------>
Here you can find a PIC of a Seed from that weed!!

Cool researchers got their history right. No smoking accesories were needed at that time. You threw the weed on the fire in your tent or cave or whatever and breathed the fumes second hand.

Have any of you ever heard of and done knife hits? The knock you on the floor can't move a muscle rush? I wonder if it would be like that but larger to where you just keep on getting dosed while you're catatonic on the floor.

I want to know the THC content and genetics of that bud they claim is so strong. All the talk of how todays pot is so much stronger than even 30-40 years ago that we all knew was bull and now this, which sound like they're admitting that was completely false.

I can't see the pics well atm, is it manicured sensi? I've always wondered at what point humans learned the basics.

They did have clay jars back then. Hell 2700 years ago really isnt that far ago. Rome was up and running around that time.

My problem with those pictures is I just can't tell what the hell that pic with the red spots is showing me. Are those ladybugs? Trichomes turned bright red? I can't tell on my screen.


Hahaha 2700 year old tomb cured bud. Nobody really thinks it's smokable and smooth still do you? Seriously?

I just think I may be a little hesitant with just a "roll that shit up, homie!"

Especially if it didn't crumble between your fingers. If that shit is semi-moist and sticky like cotton candy, we have a problem. And really, what is this red sh!t?

Did the bud decide to bleed like a human after all these years? Maybe it tried to evolve into something else.
