Opium and cocaine were in widespread use in the early 20th century.


So very true. Sherlock Holmes' stories are full of that stuff. And opium was already widespread way before that. For those interested, I strongly recommend reading "Confessions of an English Opium Eater", by Thomas de Quincey.  BTW, the Beatles' song "Happiness is a warm gun" comes from one chapter of that book, I think.

I've seen Parke-Davis 1920's ads for morphine, featuring hypodermic syringes in jewel boxes. How the world has changed.

Larry, Edgar Allan Poe was my favourite author when I was young.  Seems I had a taste for the macabre as a child.  My favourite story is still A Cask of Amontillado.  I don't know how old you are, but have you ever heard The Alan Parsons Project's album Tales of Mystery and Imagination?  If not, I suggest you get it.

The ironic thing is that caffeine was largely outlawed while cocaine was in rampant use.  If I could just find Coca-Cola like they had in the old days...

Nancy I think we may be of a simular age but you are always younger. I was born in 1958. You I guess are much younger and got The music from your parents. LOL

Nancy, Amontillado is an amazing story. Chilling, and it makes me scared to drink wine!

Well, I'm not that much younger, I was born in 1962, so no, I got the album (and I do mean vinyl) all on my own!!   Tongue

Ya Major I tell my grand kids I remember when Dirt was invented. And Nancy like I said you will always be younger than me and most likely better looking. LOL

Well, let's see -- Larry's a year or so older than I am, and Nancy's the same age as my younger brother (whose first daughter is now in college).  I guess that makes me the same age as dirt??  Wink
