That's a lotta hooch!  Even by today's standards, he must have had quite a habit.

Analysis indicates that the plants were cultivated, based on the size of the seeds and the coloring of the leaves.  Before the Gushi shaman was buried, someone took the time to pull out all the male parts of the plant which has a far less psychoactive qualities then the female parts.  There is no doubt as to what the cannabis was used for.  There were no smoking devices found with the mummy.  Scientist speculate that the plant was possibly ingested orally or fumigated somehow.

I can see it now; can you pass the pot brownies?  Sure just let me throw some more pot on the fire.  Ready everyone?  Inhale!  Maybe they would build little structures and hot box it, its possible!
