Outdoor weed and seeds

He doesn't even mention it in Hashish!. He give a very good history of cannabis and its movement over time, and if sensi was a major factor, I'm sure it would get at least a minor mention. Cannabis's main intorduction to the west was with the Scythians, out of the Central Asia Steppes, who smoked themselves out by placing the whole flower, seeds, stems, etc in a burner inside a little personal tent-like head cover and inhaled the smoke that way. And they got it from someone else in Asia. He goes on to do the history of hash production around the globe. Very interesting and informative book. It can be had on amazon. :thumbsup:

Not sure everybody has seen this, but since we were talking about the history of cultivation of mj thought it was interesting. The find dispelled the commonly held scientific view that mj was cultivated just for it's fiber by the ancients, this was medicine or for psychoactive use.

Sorry about that, many of these links seem to be cached. But I can pull them up from my favorites. I have had this problem before.

Gypski if your interested, google "2700 year old stash", and there are a bunch of different news stories; disc, msnbc etc.

Later if I have a chance I'll try to link it again. Damn thing worked off the preview screen for me, but above would not.

I read about that one. I'm sure, in time, they will find older caches of cannabis, althought most likely not in North America. I would like to see them try and sprout some of the seeds they recovered from the cache!!!

When I was a grad student, we had a Chinese collection from the gold mining days, and there were a number of opium related items in the collection such as pipe bowls and opium tins. Cannabis related items may be found in this context in NA. :thumbsup: Don't ask, don't tell!!!!! :smokin:
