Almost completely unrelated, but I learned today that Shakespeare's pipes weren't limited to tobacco. Pipe remnants found in his garden contained traces of both cannabis and coca. Part of the coolness of this for me is the effect of the Columbian Exchange. I find it weird that Shakespeare was writting as Europe colonized the Americas.
