Shakespeare was a cool dude. And he's a heck of a lot better when teachers and professors aren't forcing you to read his work, if you ask me. Then you can sit back and enjoy the fact that he was bawdy as heck and an amazing poet.

There does seem to be evidence that The Bard might have been into psychotropics of different kinds, which was true of lots of people who lived during his time, artists, writers and regular people alike. Folks, as you discuss this, try and keep the dicussions here limited to cannabis, OK?
