    "A study of several 17th-century smoking pipes, including a number found in the garden of Shakespeare's home in England, has revealed traces of cannabis, according to South African scientists.'

    Can't comment on the commonality or lack thereof... But if marijuana becomes legal nationwide and at the federal level, I'll be toking it up a few times a week probably. :slight_smile:


    I always suspected this about Shakespeare! Nice to see there's finally some "archaeological proof", haha!

    In light of the physical evidence uncovered literally in the Bard's backyard, this sonnet now makes alot more sense:

    Why is my verse so barren of new pride,
    So far from variation or quick change?
    Why with the time do I not glance aside
    To new-found methods and to compounds strange?
    Why write I still all one, ever the same,
    And keep invention in a noted weed,
    That every word doth almost tell my name,
    Showing their birth and where they did proceed?
    O, know, sweet love, I always write of you,
    And you and love are still my argument;
    So all my best is dressing old words new,
    Spending again what is already spent:
    For as the sun is daily new and old,
    So is my love still telling what is told.

    Definitely. And I agree, it does shed a whole new light on Shakespeare.
