It's amazing! All these foreign cultures old and new don't smoke dope to get a buzz; they only smoke it for "spiritual" and "medicinal" purposes! They are on such an elevated moral plane of consciousness!

Yeah, right.

"During funeral rites, the smokers may have hoped to communicate with the spirit world - or with the people they were burying," said study co-author Yimin Yang of the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.

Maybe they were using it medicinally.

The History of Medicinal Cannabis

As early as 2737 B.C., the mystical Emperor Shen Neng of China was prescribing marijuana tea for the treatment of gout, rheumatism, malaria and, oddly enough, poor memory.

Bags of Doritos laying around?

It wasn’t part of the Chinese empire back then. I’d venture to say that the population was about as Chinese as the Aztecs were Spanish.

It’s be Chong’s relatives! Far out man!

Did they leave their roach clips?

[RitchieAprile]

unless they found a bong or a chillum they can’t surmise that it was smoked to get high.

...along with some spare ribs, pot stickers and a side of pork fried rice.

Oh, and oolong tea.

Funny but when you smoka the joint the tea takes oolong to finish, or even to find.

Well according to the article, it was not even smoked,
It was put on hot rocks, not lit on fire...
so in reality, this would have been the first evidence of vaping.

The Chinese use to have round eyes but after millennium of smoking marijuana their eyes changed.... : )

Twelve-year-old male marijuana smoker to a nine-year-old male, while proffering a lit doobie:

“Here. Try this. It’s good for you!”

Nine-year-old male to twelve-year-old:

“If I want to breathe smoke, I’ll find the nearest house fire.”

That was my brother, at 12, and I, at 9.

He went on to become sociopathic with several arrests for violence among other things. He now lives in the desert somewhere as a nomad.

He was once very popular, King of the Prom, and recipient of a Who’s Who Award at Palo Alto High School.

I no longer see him, since he dislocated my jaw the last time I did.

I was never very popular. On the other hand, I managed to avoid being psychotic, assaulting people, and ending up in jail.

(Having grown up surrounded by hippie types in Palo Alto, I have seen plenty of evidence of just how “harmless” smoking marijuana is.)

Nota Bene: Inhaling smoke of any kind is absolutely unnatural snd unhealthful.

The whole country was addicted to opium once.
