Scientists have discovered prehistoric drug kits used by stone age humans to cook up herbal highs.

The kits, which show stone age man really was a stoner, include ceramic bowls and tubes used to inhale hallucinogenic drug fumes dating back to 400BC.

Found on the Caribbean island of Carriacou it is believed the kits originated in South America and were carried the 400 miles to the islands.

Some believe rocker Keith Richards may have misplaced the the bowls on an early Rolling Stones tour.

While these are the oldest 'drugs kits' found, investigations in Mexico and Texas suggest that humans have been using mind-altering drugs for 5000 years.

Quetta Kaye, of University College London, and Scott Fitz-patrick, an archeologist from North Carolina State University say as Cannabis did not grow on the island the South American tribes were likely getting high on beans of a mimosa species.

Other 'drugs' could have been extracted from species such as poppies or the mould which grew on rotting vegetation in caves.
