A stash of marijuana almost 3,000 years old has been found in an ancient Chinese tomb, and it’s still just as potent as the day it was picked. In Salem-News.com, Tim King quotes neurologist Ethan B. Russo as saying, “To our knowledge, these investigations provide the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent” and that it was obviously “cultivated for psychoactive purposes.”

Legend says that in the 13th century, a pied piper played his flute to lure the rats out of the town of Hamelin, Germany (he lured the town?s children away as well). Well, they need him again: the rats are BACK!
