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.

"...too many mentions of "blue eyed white man""

With that much pot, I'm surprised his eyes weren't described as, "bloodshot."

i saw another discovery channel special on the red haired mummies found in china

and my first thought was Norse ancestors like the Rus who got down to China
sure enough DNA said northern European

then they came out w the DNA studies of Native Americans that showed the massive influx of N. European DNA *during* the ice age...which means they
had to cross the Atlantic

Lief Ericson said that he didn’t discover Vinland, he had heard about it from other adventurers old stories...

just how old were those stories, anyway?

Damn, they used the same ziploc bags 2700 years ago!

You win.

L O L !

Hell, elephants and monkeys eat fermented fruit to ‘get high.’

It’s the animal experience to feel enjoy it.

“The Stoned Age.”

Thank God we’re still in it!

Psychoactive substances have obviously been a part of humankind’s rise from savagery; perhaps their use facilitated social ties or provoked reflection upon the difference between reality and illusion. In any case, mankind has certainly no intention to give up their use, and why should we? The vast majority of mankind can hold their liquor, and manage their high, whatever it is.

There is a small fraction of people who are unable to cope in their lives; they can’t hold jobs or learn from books; drugs and alcohol are just more things they can’t cope with - but don’t demonize the rum!!!

Thanks KoRn. If the archaeologists were worth their salt, they'd be checking around for the last man standing. Just updating the GGG info, not sending a general distribution. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

[DNA.2012]

The real news is the 2700-year-old bag of Doritos found in the same place.

[ThanhPhero]

Still in the baggy? I didn’t think they even had Zip-Loc back then. You learn something new every day!

[marsh2]

proof time travel is real...

[KosmicKitty]

Yeah, but what was the buzz like?

[SunkenCiv]

And, it was empty, along with the other four. ;’)

[Salamander]

Thereby proving that the “fear of facing reality” is not a modern phenomenon.

[must have been a tribe of ur-liberals]

[AnTiw1]

apparently they've been finding a lot of european mummies in the gobi and along the old desert silk road in china...a civilization of traders

men women and children...many with blonde or red hair, and blue eyes

[headsonpikes]

This is just PROOF that marijuana destroys lives - just LOOK at those poor dead potheads - too lazy to get up and eat!

[headsonpikes]

Yes. Sarcasm.

[Ole Okie]

No, that was in the “wrong” tomb they raided last week.

I presume that was a "No knock" entry. Any dogs had to be put down when they entered the tomb?

Guess the perp was already room temperature.

“With that much pot, I’m surprised his eyes weren’t described as, “bloodshot.””

Oh dude...I see a new Visine commercial coming out of this discovery.
