    Pretty sure whiskey is pretty bad too. I’m not for prohibition, or drugs being illegal. But I’m not in favor of people using cocaine or drinking alcohol.

        In the 19th century they have coked up wine. No joke. Even the Pope endorsed it.

        And I am not going to mention Coca-Cola. Despite the stories, the time it DID have minute amounts of cocaine in it was very brief since they did get complaints to knock it off.

        They still used spent coca leaves that had so little cocaine left that it was imperceptible, and it was only until 1929 before they finally stopped that.

        So if you wanted to get coked up with coca cola you would need to go back to 1885 and within days of the first coca cola being served.

        But if you went that far back just do ALL the drugs. There was no such thing as an illegal drug back then.
