DID SHAKESPEARE USE POT?

The Dude of Avon?

"A South African anthropologist has asked permission to open the
graves of William Shakespeare and his family to determine, among other
things, what killed the Bard and whether his poems and plays may have
been composed under the influence of marijuana," says LiveScience.
"But while Shakespeare's skeleton could reveal clues about his health
and death, the question of the man's drug use depends on the presence
of hair, fingernails or toenails in the grave, said Francis Thackeray,
the director of the Institute for Human Evolution at the University of
the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, who floated the proposal to the
Church of England. Thackeray conducted a study in 2001, which found
evidence of marijuana residue on pipe fragments found in Shakespeare's
garden. Cannabis was grown in England at the time and was used to make
textiles and rope."
