I havenât yet discussed last weekâs news that a major head stash of marijuana was found in the tomb of an ancient Chinese shaman. Itâs significant because the stuff was clearly well grown, with an apparently decent THC content. My analysis: awesome.
Unfortunately, researchers couldnât get the seeds to germinate, which sucks for breeders because the âTomb Raiderâ strain wouldâve taken Amsterdam by storm. Of course, it wouldâve been even cooler if it had been seedless to begin with, proving that even cavemen could grow better pot than the nauseating schwaggy sawdust being sold on the streets of D.C. and New York as we speak.
Regardless, this is another reminder that the cannabis plant has been with us from the beginning. The logical assumption is that its properties are intended to be useful to mankind, especially after those properties are revealed to be unique and widely regarded as beneficial by the population. Trying to eradicate it is as stupid as it is impossible. It was here 3,000 years ago, and it will still be here 3,000 years in the future. Unless, of course, the drug war has completely destroyed the earth by then.
