"A Pastille may be taken every four or six hours, if required." Until you become completely addicted to them.

Don't forget they used be able to buy bottled liquid opium like cough syrup and would mix it in drinks. That was legal all the way up to the early 1920's....prohibition sure screwed everyone around the world.

Laudanum was a big one in the old west, most cowboys that had been hurt or shot at some point were addicted to it. Stuff was pretty wicked...

Re: You Used to Be Able to Buy WHAT in Grocery Store?! (Vintage)
Many people may not agree with me but until cocaine and heroin became illegal with the Harrison Act of 1913, there weren't any problems with these drugs like today. I'm not saying to legalize these drugs again but before 1913 all of the "addicts" were doctors, lawyers,housewives etc. The reasoning behind the Harrison Act was that the Chinese were corrupting "proper" Citizens with narcotics and deviant sex acts. There is a problem with that reasoning. I've never come in contact with addicts who were interested in sex. JMHO  |
