"The #YanghaiTombs near #Turpan, Xinjiang-Uighur Region, #China have recently been excavated to reveal the 2700-year-old grave of a Caucasoid #shaman whose accoutrements included a large cache of #cannabis, superbly preserved by climatic and burial conditions.

These investigations provide the #oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent, and contribute to the medical and archaeological record of this pre-#SilkRoad culture."
