Scientists discover that neanderthals were getting high on psychedelics millions of years ago

I wouldn't be at all surprised it did find traces of psychedelic substances that old, residues in shells. We humans have loved to send our brains on vacation for a long time and if they don't see this among other apes, maybe they haven't looked hard enough. We know other primates enjoy leaving fruit on the trees until it ferments into alcoholic fruit and they party down on it, along with birds and some other mammals. Getting high is probably as old as our brains are.

Oetzi, "the Iceman," was found with cannabis, obviously used either medicinally or recreationally 5500 years ago in Europe.

Maybe as the anthropological data sink in and the research adds up, we'll be able to beat the pickle faced Puritans back for a while. They will never unbend, we just have to stop voting for them "for the children."
