Scientists located a weed stash in a remote part of China that is reportedly 2,700 years old. A research paper, published in the Journal of Experimental Botany, detailed the finding and claims it was specifically “cultivated for psychoactive purposes.” Buried alongside the 789 grams of herb, that was so well preserved it was still green, was a “blue-eyed Caucasian man,” believed to be a “shaman of the Gushi culture.” Well, that’s just a sophisticated way of saying “hippie” and demonstrates how long the white man’s tradition of getting people high really is. |CBC|
