The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.

Musta been Dave; he had the stuff...

The 18 researchers, most of them based in China, subjected the cannabis to a battery of tests, including carbon dating and genetic analysis. Scientists also tried to germinate 100 of the seeds found in the cache, without success.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Seriously, 18 "researchers". More like ONE scientist, ONE lab tech, and 16 OTHER people who found out you were holding the big bag.

“The dude was dealing fer sure with almost 3 oz. stashed away.”

Almost 3 ounces? He had 789 grams. That’s almost 28 ounces, about one and three quarters of a pound. It had to last him through the afterlife though.

Heh... that “research” took place before some nimrod on the team wrote a press release and everybody got bogarted.
