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. They apparently were getting high too :) Lead author Ethan Russo told Discovery News that the marijuana "is quite similar" to what's grown today. "We know from both the chemical analysis and genetics that it could produce THC (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, the main psychoactive chemical in the plant)," he explained, adding that no one could feel its effects today, due to decomposition over the millennia. Russo served as a visiting professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Botany while conducting the study. He and his international team analyzed the cannabis, which was excavated at the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China. It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl in a leather basket near the head of a blue-eyed Caucasian man who died when he was about 45. "This individual was buried with an unusual number of high value, rare items," Russo said, mentioning that the objects included a make-up bag, bridles, pots, archery equipment and a kongou harp. The researchers believe the individual was a shaman from the Gushi people, who spoke a now-extinct language called Tocharian that was similar to Celtic. 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. What is in question, however, is how the marijuana was administered, since no pipes or other objects associated with smoking were found in the grave. "Perhaps it was ingested orally," Russo said. "It might also have been fumigated, as the Scythian tribes to the north did subsequently." Although other cultures in the area used hemp to make various goods as early as 7,000 years ago, additional tomb finds indicate the Gushi fabricated their clothing from wool and made their rope out of reed fibers. 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. "As with other grave goods, it was traditional to place items needed for the afterlife in the tomb with the departed," Russo said. The ancient marijuana stash is now housed at Turpan Museum in China. In the future, Russo hopes to conduct further research at the Yanghai site, which has 2,000 other tombs. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b73_1349409353 jbobres Getting high 2,700 years ago.. Worlds oldest marijuana stash found. marijuana, 2lbs, stash, gobi desert, grave, getting high, pot, hemp Thu, 20 Sep 2012 19:21:19 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ae9_1348181923 jbobres What if we were cut off from the media, from our tvs and computers.. from radio and text? What could possibly happen in one day? Would our thoughts shift from the radical Islamic people and all the hype about what other countries are doing - to our own daily issues and problems? The focus would come back to us so fast, each one of us would see what we have become.. Why do we have to meddle in our neighbors issues, let alone another countries? Is it because we love drama so much we have to take it to a global level? There is very little threat to you if you are keeping to yourself.. Its good to have the means to protect yourself, don't get me wrong - But looking for a fight is another thing. What if you decide, that tomorrow you would just not plug in.. to check your facebook or the news see if you could even do it for a week. Would you be afraid you'd miss something? I believe fear is fed to us on a daily basis, through our media portals, to make us feel a certain way.. everyday the world just seems to get crazier.. but I think it might have alot to do with hype and media presentation. What do you think? What are your reasons for following media and being plugged in? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ae9_1348181923 jbobres Why do you watch the news? fear, media, propaganda, news, islam Sun, 16 Sep 2012 20:54:31 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=437_1347841712 jbobres The radical muslims that are getting all the media attention are the 2% crazy rednecks of their countries.. "i'm goint to keel americans fuuuuck amerikaaah!" give me a break. Are we trying to incite violence and raise up reasons to start another pointless war? I think so. For fuck sakes people, give your head a shake and use your brain! You are being shown all the terrible parts, just like when you see a video of some white guy in front of the memorial to the victims of Hiroshima waving an american flag.. don't buy into the bullshit you are being fed. Just because your news channel says that muslims are reacting to some bogus film, think for yourself! there is more at stake and money to be made by war and you and your children don't have to be the victims of some political and religious deal. Think about all the jews murdered in the holocaust and the innocents killed in Vietnam and the current theme in the middle east.. ridiculous retards that make the rest of the country and "faith" look bad. YOU are those people, they aren't separate from you. The radicals are brought up just like you, backwards to some people, but you don't know any different. YOU ARE THE SAME. If that scares you or insults you, that is your problem. If you are so closed minded that you can't see this perspective on things, you need to wake up. Fuck your patriotism, it is based on lies and it is murdering people that aren't involved in the argument over who is right or wrong. You have choices, don't waste them on ideas that aren't yours, THINK FOR YOURSELF. Edit: For all the americans (there seem to be quite a few) who believe "you'll never hear any other muslims condemning what the radicals do" is the same as hardly hearing americans condemn what we did to other countries in "revenge" for a few thousand deaths in north america, we went killing millions of people, innocent people in the wake of pearl harbor and 9/11 to name a couple.. WE ARE ALL THE SAME. To other countries we are the lunatics, poking fun and insulting their beliefs for the hell of it. We reap what we sow. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=437_1347841712 jbobres Radical muslims in the current media are the 2% crazy red-neck population of their country.

Seriously? NO. The above statement is an outright lie. Most of the news is propaganda these days to make you afraid and follow like sheep to war against the Muslim population, where like in any war, MOSTLY innocent civilians like YOUR children will be killed in the fight. Please consider your stance and don't promote any more hate. There are other forces behind this, that want you to react a certain way. This has happened many times in the past, and most of it (on further review) has turned out to be lies and has hurt many families in the process. Please, lets stop the killing. Don't stand for the lies. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3e1_1347770582 jbobres Breaking News - Muslims Destroy Pentagon Islam, Muslims, Pentagon, Bomb, Destroyed, Riot Sun, 09 Sep 2012 22:45:21 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8c7_1347244318 jbobres Share your opinion. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8c7_1347244318 jbobres Should marijuana be legal to grow and use for any purpose?
