An ancient burial site in Siberia revealed around 1,000 cannabis seeds and chemical traces of its psychoactive use, indicating the Scythians utilized the plant for rituals. The tomb, dating back approximately 2,800 years, belonged to significant Scythian figures. Researchers found that the seeds were likely deposited in the 8th century BC and linked cannabis to burial practices. Chemical analysis of preserved human hair showed traces of cannabinol and THC, suggesting consumption methods. The findings highlight the role of cannabis in Scythian funerary rituals, alongside evidence of horse sacrifices. Further genetic analysis of the plant remains may provide insights into cannabis domestication and its historical spread.
