Prehistoric human 'took hallucinogenic drugs' 13:00 AEST Mon Oct 20 2008 By ninemsn staff Humans were indulging in mind-expanding drugs in prehistoric times, new archaeological evidence suggests. Scientists have unearthed ceramic bowls and inhaling tubes used by ancient South American tribes to prepare and consume hallucinogenic drugs. The findings, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, confirm long-held suspicions that our ancestors used drugs. But much of that evidence has been indirect, ranging from images found in prehistoric cave art to the discovery of hemp seeds in excavations.

http://cannazine.co.uk/cannabis-news/europ...offee-shop.html Dutch 101 for beginners: A coffee shop isn't where you get a caffeine fix. Coffee shops in the Netherlands are places where you can buy and smoke marijuana legally. I would never advocate the usage of drugs under normal circumstances, but I visited one of these "coffee shops" and sampled their wares on a recent trip to Amsterdam. Of course, it was all strictly for research purposes. The Greenhouse coffee-shop also offers users an enjoyable experience in Amsterdam whether a first time tourist or perhaps someone a bit more experienced... I was accompanied on my investigation by a fellow travel wr…

Sorry for getting your hopes up http://cardhouse.com/drcliff/office/goodideas.htm Dr Cliff ? "The psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A couple other plants make THC in smaller amounts, most notably the Szechuan peppercorn, hwa-jhou. THC is also being studied for its useful pharmaceutical properties.
