A.H.

In early Neolithic lake dwellings which have been dug up in Switzerland, we find poppy heads, which indicates that people were already using this most ancient and powerful, most dangerous of narcotics, even in the days before the rise of agriculture. So, man was apparently a dope addict before he was a farmer, which is a very, very curious comment on human nature.
