Scientists found proof of hallucinogens and stimulants in 3,000-year-old hair samples from Menorca — a neighbor of modern party hotspots Ibiza and Magaluf.
The evidence comes from a cave on the island of Mallorca, which was used as a burial site between 2200 and 1800 BC. The cave, known as Es Cuieram, contains the remains of at least 24 people, many of whom were buried with drug-related objects.
The Hair samples, suggest Bronze Age people were consuming various drugs to get high. Chemical hair analysis found atropine that can cause hallucinations, and ephedrine, a stimulant used to make modern-day crystal meth.
