Scientists say they have found the oldest directly dated evidence of cannabis used for its mind-altering effects: more than 1,000 cannabis seeds, and hair carrying traces of THC, in a 2,800-year-old Scythian royal tomb in Siberia.
The tomb, Tunnug 1, belonged to high-ranking members of the horse-riding Scythian culture. The study was published in the journal Science.
