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.

Funny song!

...but it's evident that the blue-eyed man was buried with a lot of it. Just wondering is it possible? Would the color, or even the eyes themselves, of a man dead for over 2,700 years be intact?

[Mr. K]

He took TWO POUNDS to the grave??

It must not have been so pricey back then

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

“Oh WOW! Man, that tastes like dog s**t!”

“That is because it IS dog s**t, man!”

[Buckeye McFrog]

Too bad this was not discovered while Cheech and Chong were still in their movie making prime.

[Billthedrill]

Two pounds of prime weed and no pipe? Tough way to face eternity. Hope there are toilet paper rolls and aluminum foil where he is...

I...uh...read this in a book. Somewhere. A book, yeah, that's the ticket.

If it wasn’t refrigerated it likely molded.

So I’ve read on the intarwebs.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Wow, man. I wonder what Great Dane tastes like...

[pepsi_junkie]

A barrage of tests proves the marijuana possessed potent psychoactive properties...

Right. Tests.

Obvious Time Traveler. How would he know what a key was? I'm looking out for Sister Mary Elephant.

“Would the color, or even the eyes themselves, of a man dead for over 2,700 years be intact?”

Mine would have probably still been bloodshot.

[Fedupwithit]

the bag was empty of course..

[humblegunner]

I’ve got Phineas on that detail.
Fat Freddy has been reassigned to Supply.

And his Grumpy Cat too.

[BipolarBob]

[chesty_puller]

“things got furry and things got fuzzy, then evrathin’ was orange...when I come to ma brother was there and he said “what’s wrong with yo’r eyes?” I said “I don’ know I was chewin’ on a weed” he said “let me give it a try!”

I spent the rest of that day and most of that night tryin’ to find ma brother Bill. I caught with him about 2 o’clock the next mornin’, naked, singin’ on the wind mill!(he said he flew up there...I had to fly up and get him back down, he was about half crazy....)

“Step off, George.”

“Oh, Tony, no....”
