Shocking! Researchers Find Marijuana Content in Human Fossils Buried 300 Years Ago

Dream - Ganja is one type of class one narcotic that causes its users to experience euphoria. In fact, although it is illegal, there are still many people who consume ganja, which, if consumed continuously, can have negative effects on physical and mental health. So, how long does ganja stay in the human body?

According to Ifl Science, researchers have found the first archaeological evidence that psychoactive compounds from marijuana can remain in human bones long after death.

This finding is based on research on human skeletal remains dating back to the 17th century.

Initially, the authors of the new study sought evidence of the use of drugs and "recreational plants" in the population of Milan, Italy, in the 17th century. They focused their research on the remains of skeletons in the underground space of one of Europe's hospitals, Ca' Granda di Ospedale Maggiore. Patients who died in this hospital between 1638 and 1697 were buried in the underground space. And when they were excavated, the condition of these corpses was still sealed and preserved, which facilitated the research process.

"Previously, a study by this team found evidence of opium in well-preserved skull bone and brain tissue samples from several underground dwellers."

Therefore, with the evidence that this team has obtained, they then expanded the research. "Therefore, we decided to expand this research to long bones with a preliminary study on the femur (thigh bone)," the authors wrote.

"Samples of femur bones were collected from human remains in the basement with the aim of searching, through archaeotoxicology investigation, for the presence of substances that may be associated with the administration or consumption of medicinal or recreational plants within the population."

continue writers.

In this research, Gaia Giordano from the University of Milan, the main author of this study, together with her colleagues, collected bone samples from the remains of nine individuals buried in Ca' Granda.

They then conducted toxicology analysis by crushing the bones and preparing samples so that individual chemical compounds could be separated and purified. These traces could then be identified using mass spectrometry. From this analysis, they revealed the presence of psychoactive compounds from marijuana, namely tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) molecules. "The results obtained from the bone samples indicate the presence of two molecules, [THC] and CBD, highlighting the administration of marijuana," explained the team.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "These molecules were found in the thigh bones of a man and a woman, and possibly trapped inside the bones after being consumed and absorbed into the bloodstream and then blood vessels in their bone tissues."

"The result, to our knowledge, is the first report on the detection of marijuana in historical and archaeological human osteological remains,"

continue the team.

Meanwhile, according to Giordano and his colleagues, patients use marijuana themselves or possibly use it for recreational purposes.

"The analysis data obtained provides new insights into the habits of the population under investigation, showing exposure to plants in the city of Milan during the Modern era, possibly for recreational purposes considering the written sources, although self-treatment, occupational or accidental exposure, or administration by non-practicing healers in Ca' Granda are alternative possibilities that cannot be excluded," the team concluded their analysis.
