Yeah, OK.  It has nothing to do with wargaming, but this tale of hallucinogenic drug use on ancient Menorca is still quite interesting.

Not surprising but a good confirmation.  I am amused that the Beeb very, very, carefully does not say from which plants the naughty people were extracting their wacky products.   :)

Maybe Balearic slingers should have a random factor for accuracy being off due to unwise consumption before the battle?

One has this vision of ancient North Europeans making an annual migration to the Balearics in order to indulge themselves in sun, intoxicants and orgies....

...nothing much has really changed over the millenia.

I wonder if Strabo's famous story about the local children has lost something in translation - they did not have to hit a loaf of bread with a slingshot before they could eat it, but a "special" chocolate brownie?
