Описание: Forensic analysis of 400-year-old pipes from Shakespeare’s garden revealed traces of cann*bis, hinting that the renowned playwright may have smoked more than tobacco. The discovery was made by a South African research team using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, a powerful forensic technique. They analyzed 24 pipe fragments from Stratford-upon-Avon, including several found on the grounds of New Place, Shakespeare’s final residence. Of those tested, eight contained cannabis residue, and four of these came directly from Shakespeare's own garden. While the finding is compelling, some scholars remain skeptical. They argue the pipes might have belonged to other residents or visitors, not the playwright himself, and that the presence of hemp for materials like rope was common in the Elizabethan era. The line in Sonnet 76 about a “noted weed” is also debated, with some suggesting it refers to a particular style of clothing or literary convention rather than a substance.
