They found pollen.
Doesn’t that lead most to believe they perhaps made rope?

Besides pollen means male plants.
Male plants bad, Smoke it and just get a headache....a friend told me this..

Hemp rope would have been critical for their ships.

Only in the past 70 years or so has “pot” been frowned upon.

Hemp was probably grown to make cordage and sails for their boats. Rowing is hard work and sailing by wind is fun. They may have smoked it as well but its primary purpose was utilitarian.

I thought pot was supposed to calm the savage beast.

“Vikings Smoking Pot While Exploring Newfoundland”

Well that explains a lot!

PS - Nick Drake!? I know only a handful of people who know his name, and only one person I know recognized his music.
