Shaman..... yeah, right..... a white guy in China is buried with almost 2 pounds of prime bud (less a few ounces for the hitman.)

Dudes, [Wwwwwt] I have come from far away. [WWwwwwwwt, cough] and I am.. [Wwwwwwt, pause, exhale] I am God. [WWwwwwwwwwt]. Got Doritos?. [Wwwwwwwt, pause, exhale] No.. wait... I am the son of God.

(and yes, I know there were European-ish cultures in ancient China).
