Worldest Oldest Marijuana Stash And Pizza Slice Found In China

A 2,700-year-old grave found in the Gobi Desert near Turpan, China holds the world’s oldest marijuana stash! The grave belonged to a blue-eyed Caucasian, long-haired man buried with a number of valuable items, including a copy of Neil Young’s After The Gold Rush, a bottle of orange juice (empty) and sweet wrappers (various).

Scientists originally thought the plant material in the grave was coriander, but microscopic botanical analysis of the bowl contents, along with genetic testing, revealed that it was cannabis.

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.

Also found was the world’s oldest unwashed cup, world;’s oldest slice of pizza and world’s oldest soemthign or other…
