Ancient Chinese stoner loses his stash: oldest marijuana ever found


Roll over Cheech and Chong. East India Dock Company and HSBC (former Midland Bank), your opium-addled drug-running days in China were 2,500 years too late.

The world's oldest stash of marijuana has been found in a shaman's tomb in the outlands of China. "The region of China where the tomb is located, Xinjiang, is considered an original source of many cannabis strains worldwide."

And none of that feeble "hemp used for fibre", malarky. Experts say this weed was "cultivated for psychoactive purposes".

Two and a half millennia ago? Dammit! I know where we went wrong. We invented ice-cream but no CHOCOLATE!!!!!

I can totally understand why they smoked the reefer. What was their to do back in them thar days? There were no reality shows featuring used up strippers vying for the attention of an aging rock star! No television shows glorifying the plastic surgery process and neverending quest for the impossible perfection! What other way was there to pass the time? I'm suprised they survived at all to be honest.

Just smoke the 'erb and contemplate nature.

These days I like to paint my nails and wait to be summoned for sex. Or summonsed for sex. There are days (months) when it takes a binding contract to get anything at all out of me.
