DRUG RESIDUE FOUND AT BARD'S HOME
Several 17th century clay pipes found on the site of William Shakespeare's
home may have been used to smoke marijuana, scientists said. The
Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-on-Avon in England allowed South
African researchers in Pretoria to analyze 24 pipe fragments. Eight of the
fragments showed evidence of marijuana, and two also showed evidence of
cocaine, the scientists said.
