CANNABIS DISCOVERED IN TOBACCO PIPES FOUND IN WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S GARDEN

Forensic testing of 400-year-old pipes suggest playwright might have smoked more than just tobacco
Cannabis discovered in tobacco pipes found in William Shakespeare's garden

South African scientists have discovered that 400-year-old tobacco pipes excavated from the garden of William Shakespeare contained cannabis, suggesting the playwright might have written some of his famous works while high.

Residue from early 17th century clay pipes found in the playwright’s garden, and elsewhere in Stratford-Upon-Avon, were analysed in Pretoria using a sophisticated technique called gas chromatography mass spectrometry, the Independent reports.

Of the 24 fragments of pipe loaned from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust to University of the Witwatersrand, cannabis was found in eight samples, four of which came from Shakespeare’s property.

There was also evidence of cocaine in two pipes, but neither of them hailed from the playwright’s garden.

Shakespeare’s sonnets suggest he was familiar with the effects of both drugs.

In Sonnet 76, he writes about “invention in a noted weed”, which could be interpreted to mean that Shakespeare was willing to use “weed”, or cannabis, while he was writing.

  • Ganja was legal at this time and in common use.  In Germany and Austria all the farmers used to grow it...until ganja was made illegal by Hitler.
