Ancient Weed Was the Chronic

After recently discovering a 2,700 year old weed stash, scientists have released photos and additional test results of the ancient “cannabis”—notice how they stick to its botanical name and avoid the more commonly used, racist moniker: “marijuana.” The findings show that the herb was potent and definitely cultivated with the intent to get high—whether it was for “medicinal or mystical” uses is still debatable. Researchers tested an 11g sample and although it “lacked the typical cannabis odour,” it still retained a health green color. However, they did emphasize, that if smoked, the sample would not get anyone high. Click below for more photos of the empirical ganja studies in action.

Pretty pictures… The first pic isn’t a trichome. It’s much more zoomed out than that. In fact, you can see what might be many many trichomes, but I have no idea what the red things are. Drops of something. They don’t belong there.
They might have been added for the upcoming holiday and if so, I may never visit this site again.
[...] Ancient Weed Was the Chronic – ANIMAL lol my favorite part is "Researchers tested an 11g sample" [...]
The five major religions began with cannabis burning in their censors. Holy or high, the result is the same. A spirit of oneness and brotherhood.
There are five references mistranslated to calamus in the OT, including a recipe for a heavily cannabis based ointment with with people were blessed, or christened.
There is every indication from recent research with the Dead Sea Scroll the Christ and crew used cannabis based Oil of Moses, instead of dogma, to heal the body and then the heart. The DrugWar Establishment could very well be the Anti-Christ.
RIGHT ON. HE SAW THE GREEN PLANTS AND HERBS OF THE LAND, AND EACH AND EVERY ONE WAS GOOD. MARIJUANA IS A WONDERFUL PLANT, WHICH PROMOTES HEALTH, RELAXATION, DE-STRESS, CALMING, PEACE, LOVE, GENTLENESS, MAKING LOVE, ENJOYING DELICIOUS FOOD AND PHILOSOPHICAL CONVERSATION. IF YESHUA DID NOT SMOKE HIMSELF, HE MAY HAVE INGESTED IT IN OTHER FORMS, OR JUST ALLOWED HIS MATES (THE DISCIPLES) TO SMOKE AROUND HIM.

funniest comment ive seen in a while!
I have heard that there was excellent strains of cannabis in the early days and that our genetics are not what they could be?
