Default Ancient Pot Heads

This is not a joke!!!

Researchers have stumbled upon a 2,700 years old ancient tomb in China's Xinjiang province that contained 789 grams of pot!

The tomb probably belonged to a Yuezhi shaman, say experts. The Yuezhi were Indo-European-speaking fair haired people who called the Xinjiang area home centuries ago.

One of the lead researchers said, "It was common practice in burials to provide materials needed for the afterlife. No hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was supplied."

So, pot has always been 'medicinal'?!

In case you were wondering, the report says that 789 grams of pot would go for about $8,000 these days.

For the good or just ok stuff??

See, even back then they knew it's medicinal purposes.

My brother said something funny though. He was wondering how they even found out abotu all these psychoactive substances in nature. Were the shaman just going around the forest eating and smoking everything in sight? Then when they found something good they were like "Look at *insert native sounding name here*, he find good stuff, we all smoke now."

It took me 14 years to quit smoking cigs. It's more addictive than cocaine.

i quit 44 days ago after smoking for 20 years (i am 35). i was scared to death of quitting. i went to a guy called the Mad Russian in Boston with 3 of my friends. it has been so easy it is strange. this guy is a master. he has a 98% success rate. 160k people have walked through his doors over the years. my friends and I were long-time heavy smokers (all around 1 pack/day+). one of us went back to smoking but he was a lost cause to begin with. the other 3 of us are going strong. (so a 75% success rate with us).

i am not afraid of having one cigarette. its the second one that scares the hell out of me.

You know how I was able to quit? It's so easy. You know that feeling of normalcy you get when you have your first smoke of the day and how you feel better when you have a smoke?

PEOPLE WHO DON'T SMOKE FEEL THAT WAY ALL THE TIME.

hard to explain really. he says he deals with mind energy. i have my own theory as to why it works and what he does. but basically you sit in a room with a group for 2 hours and attempt to understand what this guy is saying. then he sends you outside, calls you in one at a time, you close your eyes, he blows a puff in your face and you leave.

i think the thing at the end is for show and it is the 2 hours of talking that does the trick. i could be wrong. but whatever it was, I have NO cravings to smoke cigs whatsoever.

many celebrities have gone to him including Billy Joel and Drew Barrymore. he doesnt advertise or travel and he is booked for months.

Harvard did a study on him and couldnt figure out what he does or why it works, but they fully admit that whatever it is, it does work.

there were 22 people in the room with me from 8 different states and one other country.
