2700 year old bag of weed found in China. Shockingly, it's still ready to smoke, or bake into brownies. Did they find any brownies in the tomb, and if so, did they eat them?

The world’s oldest stash of marijuana was found in a tomb in China. According to the Journal of Experimental Botany, the cannabis is about 2,700 years old.

Researchers found all 789 grams of dried cannabis buried beside, what they believe, to be a shaman of the Gushi culture. It was found in Turpan in northwest China.

Dry conditions and the alkaline soil preserved the stash, which enabled scientists to study it. Sure, it was the dry, alkaline soil.  Yeah.

Well, hey, the reason that weed is so fresh is the wise Chinese stored it away in a zip lock baggie!  Now, those scientists just have to separate a little, when no one is watching, and smoke it.  While watching a Cheech and Chong movie.  While devouring munchies.
