It looks like 2700 years ago when you were packing for the afterlife you included a Kilo of high test Marijuana.
MSNBC is reporting that scientist recently unearthing a grave in the Gobi Desert that contain over two pounds of "still green" Marijuana.
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.
Who ever he was he didn't have this stash with him to make rope or cloth either ...
A barrage of tests proves the marijuana possessed potent psychoactive properties and casts doubt on the theory that the ancients only grew the plant for hemp in order to make clothing, rope and other objects.

The size of seeds mixed in with the leaves, along with their color and other characteristics, indicate the marijuana came from a cultivated strain. Before the burial, someone had carefully picked out all of the male plant parts, which are less psychoactive, so Russo and his team believe there is little doubt as to why the cannabis was grown.
The grave contained a "blue-eyed Caucasian man who died when he was about 45."
There was speculation as to whether he was a "shaman."
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.
I think this certainly puts the controversy over "Medical Marijuana" and the "War on Drugs" in proper context and perspective.
Why spend fortunes to try and stop something that has been going on for over 2,700 years?
