Dec 6 2008Dude, Stop Boggarting The Stash: 2,700 Year Old Pot Found Buried In Gobi Desert Grave

El Firsto... that's Spanish for "First"... Right?

FIRST!

I'm f***ing high just reading this post.

@ real 1:

We did that at the exact same time. I hate you.

@ real 1:

We did that at the exact same time. I hate you.

It's OK.... I hate me too.

@ Fake 1 I did it after you.
My god, herb that old, who would of thought. Must tast like bong residue. Wonder if it gives the same high.

Quote from Albert Einstein:
Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do - but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.

I don't really hate you Brian. I lash out at those who are clearly better than me as a way to curb my own self-loathing. Let's gank this weed and get high -- old-timey style.

@6: That's what she said.

mmMmmm carcas cannibas. I'd smoke it...

im with 8.

Again, why is weed illegal? Bitch has been around since the beginning of time!

Whoever is against it probably never smoked it.

Oh that reminds me...

*takes a hit*

Although I really have no problem with legalizing marijuana, I find the "people always have smoked it, always will" argument silly. Other things people always have done, and always will:

Murder
Steal
Rape children
Promise your mother he's sterile

What, they didn't find any pop cans w/ holes punched in the side? Well, that totally confounds me as to how they smoked it. What are they going to do, roll it into a joint or something? Ha, I'd like to see that!

#1: If I remember anything from Spanish 1, it's Primero. As in, "El primero persona," meaning, "The first person."

FAKE!!!!

This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max tries to convince Baja he's from the future, by having her call the number he has for an answering machine, and its a wrong number.

wow, GW is a stoner. he knows the ol' up the ass. first time i saw a joint, i was like, that looks like it would fit!

If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!

Duh, they probably ate it. Like up your butt, other direction tho...

at the "spanish" idiots... YOU'RE IDIOTS!!!!

primero up both ur culos!!

... thats your mother in spanish =)

bling bling ninnnja!

@19.... El Screwo you-o.... I'm barely fluent in English I can't be expected to grasp more than one language. Anyone who's bilingual is probably a witch and should be burned as one. Jugglers too... clearly some kind of sorcery. It goes against the laws of gravity as God intended. Heretics the lot of you....

smoke blunts.

"buried some 2,700 years ago, breaks the previous record for oldest marijuana stash by 2,700 years. "

unless the next oldest archeological discovery of cannabis was from last month, I do believe this is a typo.

Plants, God, Intelligence, Evolution, Psychedelics, Beauty, Molecular Biology, Health, Quantum Time-Space Physics, Joy, Love, Cannabis...
hmmmm...... I think I'm noticing a trend.....

@22, its a joke...

there is no older stash, because people dont stash weed, they smoke it. sheesh...

@23 I'm surprised he didn't know that. Probably doesn't know a lot about weed but still talks about it. Kind of like our politicians that make laws on marijuana even though they were all pot heads in college

@22, 23 is right. if you think that gekologie is a serious blog...... your around 40% wrong

The only reason weed is illegal is because they can't find a way to tax it. Anyone can grow it, so they have no control. Making it illegal gives them that control.

thats a stupid argument... wouldn't say, tomatoes be illegal? or corn, or... anything? dumbass

@ 27. When's the last time you got high from smoking a tomato?...f***ing retard.

It's not an argument, it's a fact.

drugs r bad

@29
argh! you killed me! grahahaha

WOW.. there are many reasons why weed is illegal... nothing to do with taxing. (again.. gov. can't tax tomatoes grown on your backyard... that doesnt make them illegal) Where does the best f***ing weed comes from? Not from here. Legalizing weed will help raise from the crappers many 3rd world countries. The USA and other developed countries benefit from the f***ed up situation of "less fortunate" countries.

That's ONE of the reasons.

You just proved my point, albeit completely backwards...if it were legal, no one would need to buy it, they could just grow it themselves. All those "3rd world" countries wouldn't be helped at all, since it's still the cartels doing the growing and dealing, they'd have to find another source of revenue. I'm not saying not to legalize it nor am I not saying there aren't many reasons people support or oppose it. I'm simply saying that the ONLY reason it's not legal is because there is no way to tax something that they can't control. They tax tobacco because it's hard to grow, they tax alcohol because they can control the beverage industry, you could make it yourself, but guess what, that's also illegal, it's called moonshine. As far as the asinine "tomato" argument, I'm not talking about produce, which they do tax the vendors on...I'm talking about narcotics, oh and by the way, yes, if you grow and sell tomatoes, YOU HAVE TO PAY TAXES!

AYYYYY NO ME GUSTA MY NIKKKAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YO SOY EL QUIRE MUCHO EN TU ES MUCHO TONTO MARICON!!!!!!!

TU MADRE ME CHUPAR LOS HUEVOS RANCHEROS!

YEHHHH PLAYA THAT BE SOME SPANISH SKILLS RIGHT THERE NAAHHH MEENNN!

so does anybody actually know if pot this old would still be at all potent? gets better with age? grows a fungus that gets you higher?

OK, Weed was outlawed in the Early 20th Century due largely to a vendetta and propaganda campaigne funded by the large paper industry. They didn't want to compete with hemp for paper products.
It stayed illegal because it's technically a "drug" and it was harder to find a source of revenew from it (taxes). This also happened around the time of prohibition, when our government was trying to, well, control us.
The sensible solution is to treat it like tobacco, sell it in pre-packaged joints, tax it. To the "peole would just grow their own" argument, a few would, but the majority of us are lazy bastards and would rather pay someone else to cultivate, otherwise smokers would grow their own tobacco.

1. Legalize and sell pot
2.?
3. Profit.

"breaks the previous record for oldest marijuana stash by 2,700 years"

Haha, that made me laugh...a lot!

Great one writer.

i wonder how high u would get if u smoked it???

I reckon i smoked summa this shit in the Everglades this weekend with some spicks from miami. KKK for all and to all a good night.

WHITE POWER.

naw man i didnt write that

I think it's pretty obvious how they smoked it. Seeings how I doubt they could fashion their own smoking devices, i'm sure they at least knew about fire, so why not just throw a bunch of it on the ground and burn it... Sure it wont last you very long, but i'm sure 1 hit you'd be done for from a campfire.... Think of it as a old school... hookah... haha Party bowl size!

I definately wouldnt recommend smoking it tho.. Seeings how just leaving mary jane in a jar if she's not properly dry'd will cause mold... and then if you open the jar you can even get yourself sick just by opening it. My buddy has a gnarly bud in a jar that got moldy.. he just kept the jar as a trophy of his stupidity for not smoking it sooner.

Be interesting tho to see what kind of information can be found out about the strain or quality, and compare it to today's stuff... granted we've engineer'd some of our strains quite potent these days, but still... be cool to know that information.

I guess reading the article woulda helped first before commenting....

*doh*

@34 Check the msnbc link referenced in the post.

"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.

They found one of Jerry Garcia's ancestors!!!!! Party on Garth!!!

I love bud.

It should be legal.

I should rule the planet.

Anyone on this site will live to see the day where it is legal.

Argentina just legalized it, as did Mexico and Brazil.

Also, Im in ur science lab, smoking ur 2,700 year old weed.
