Nowadays, in most US states, that two pounds would get our Celtic friend thrown in the clink for many years under intent to distribute...

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.

(snip)

The scientists are unsure if the marijuana was grown for more spiritual or medical purposes, but it's evident that the blue-eyed man was buried with a lot of it.




Hmmphh ... Had to be a Republican ... too many mentions of "blue eyed white man"

with dope

Hey Farrakan ... y'phone's ringin'

Why does it have to be spiritual or medicinal? Maybe... just maybe... they used it to... *gasp*... get high?

These “scientists” always stand on the side of political correctness, but you know damn well their first response was, “Duuuuude! That’s some sticky green!”

From the article: "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.

Just as I suspected! A dirt-bag harp picker! Probably a bass-harp! And he wore too much eye-liner from the sounds of that makeup bag!

Are these the last reminants of the “Occupy Gobi” movement?

Did they find an “I am the 99%” sign?

“I am an unemployeed, harp-picking, migrant farmer. I live in an unair-conditioned cave near a desert. I am well educated, and some consider me a religious figure, but I have enormous debts to repay. I have lots of friends who trade me their cool stuff for this dern good herb I have discovered. I am the 99%”
