Because creativity can only be the product of recreational-drug abuse.

What kind of person really feels a need to know?

[LadyDoc]

the marijuana plant /hemp plant often was used in herbal medicine, so that wouldn’t prove anything.

And equating the drug culture in the US, i.e. taking drugs for pleasure to get high, was not the same as using a herbal medicine.

I suspect Shakespeare used beer and wine to get drunk...

Of course, when they dig him up, and examine his DNA, they’ll find out the body is Francis Bacon’s.

The bones of the semi-literate William Shakspear may tell us if he smoked pot, but since he was not the author of the plays by William "Shake-speare" (as the nom de plume was spelled according to the style of the times) why would anyone care?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Thackeray sounds like he might be a pothead.

[Poison Pill]

whether his poems and plays may have been composed under the influence of marijuana.

Who doth care?

Not a PING

[martin_fierro]

Some Shakespearian allusions, including a mention of a "noted weed" in Sonnet 76, spurred Thackeray's inquiry into whether Shakespeare may have used the mind-altering drug for inspiration.

O, ay; as summer flies are in the shambles,
That quicken even with blowing. O thou weed,
Who art so lovely fair and smell'st so sweet
That the sense aches at thee, would thou hadst
ne'er been born!

Othello (IV, ii)
