did we have crack, heroine, ecstasy and more back then?  NO.

People in the past got stoned by drinking alcohol, munching coca leaves 
or smoking opium and a few other herbs.  In the 19th century, chemistry 
was rocking the world and they began industrializing and mixing various 
toxic wastes from the natural herbs into what is know known as cocaine, 
heroin and the like.  Artists, intelectuals and even Sherlock Holmes 
loved it as their long-term nocive effects were unknown at the time.

Calling street drugs real medicine just because it's illegal does not 
make it any better.  These are vicious substances just as toxic as the 
legal ones.

yeah, everyone happy with their medicine for the soul.  Smoking an opium 
pipe in a brothel, surrounded by lovely, caring syphilitic women. Those 
sure were the days...
