Marijuana & The Dead (Not the "Grateful" Variety)

Sometime between the discovery of fire and the birth of Jesus Christ, an Asian gentleman was buried in the Gobi Desert with his most prized possessions. His grave was recently discovered and excavated by a team of professors. Among the items found at his final resting place was a two pound bag of the sticky-icky-icky. Though it had lost its once potent THC sometime over the past 2,700 years, the marijuana remains green to this day.

Given the wide range of views on what awaits us in the afterlife, this guy obviously felt his earthly goods would follow him into the great unknown. Forever is a long time. If his beliefs were correct, his stash was likely long gone before the first millennium AD. Let us hope this guy's glaucoma, anxiety, intestinal problems, etc. left him along with the breath from his body...or that he met some kind gentleman who was buried in a cannabis field before his first "dry" day. Otherwise, I bet someone woke up on the wrong side of the cloud when he realized heady kindness was nowhere to be found.
