Was cannabis actually a war tactic in ancient China? And did someone really write the first-ever how-to guide on drug use thousands of years before Wikipedia?Tune in as our hosts debate, deduce, and occasionally derail into ancient weirdness, all in the pursuit of truth (or at least a strong guess).Can you separate the truth from the trip?
