Ottawa
— Researchers say they have located the world’s oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.
The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly “cultivated for psychoactive purposes,” rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.
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.
The extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odour.

Comment by ssss February 21, 2009 @ 11:50 pmA letter I wrote a while ago…
Torah thoughts and beyond….
Here I am 4:55 am. I cant sleep.
At midnight I started reading Chasidus,
but that stuff never puts me to sleep.
So I put Likutei Dibburim away and decide to
read some pointless nareshkeit instaed.
Same problem ….
Cant sleep.
2:00 am, Im running on addrenaline.
So I get online and talk to my Rabbi for a few hrs.
4:00 am, If I go to sleep I’ll never
make it up at six thirty to dress my kids
in shabbos clothes and send them off to school.
Little chochom will wake up from the blaring
alarm clock that I dont even hear and turn it
off and go back to sleep.
So what choice am I left with but to stay up
and wing it.
So I start reading, sweet little love notes and
cute little texts, and looking at pictures of a cutie and my mind flighs right off the handle, straight into your pants and full of dirty little sexually frustrating fantasies….Im killing myself here.
So another bright idea I get. I down a two lieter of coke, hey I gotta stay up. And I start digging through a closet that’s full of who the heck knows what I shoved in it.
And a find an interesting little surprise and curiosoty gets the best of me.
A cute little hand held massager, I here they can do wonderful things. I have an hour and a half or so to kill so Ill give it a try and find out what all the hype is about. Hey my brain is allready stuck in your pants and every position I would get you into if only I could.
And into bed I crwal with my new best friend.
Sixty seconds into if even that, BAM !frustration
all gone.
Its 5:16 am. Couldnt think of anything else to do,and really didnt feel like doing anything anyway.So I ran my fingers against this keyboard and wrote you this
And to think, my night started off with Torah thoughts and ended with the big BANG !
G’morning sunshine.
