Certainly,the tarim mummies excavated in xinjiang were found with sacks of cannabis,its been used in the region for thousands of years for medicinal and ritual purposes,the first record of cannabis use in that area was around 440BC.I have seen plants growing alongside irrigation ditches around tashkurgan and kashgar,you used to be able to buy kashi hash at the famous kashgar sunday market,plus its only a hop,skip,and jump up the KKH from Pakistan,all part of the old silk route. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my first night in Barcelona, I walked through a small alleyway to find a blood soaked t-shirt. Quite the shock, like you said. A few steps on the main road, I noticed a man walking up to me from behind. He was offering me hash, but another man was ‚insuspiciously’ following. It might have been my general paranoia, but all red flags went off and I got into the next bar as fast as I could.
