"Bronze-age people took hallucinogenic drugs in Menorca, study reveals"

"Researchers have found evidence of drug use during bronze age ceremonies.

Analysis of strands of human hair from a burial site in Spain, indicates ancient human civilisations used hallucinogenic drugs derived from plants.

The findings are the first direct evidence of ancient drug use in Europe, which may have been used as part of ritualistic ceremonies, researchers say."
