I could go for some pharmacy grade heroin right now.

Each tablet was about 2.7 mg of heroin.

Aspirin and Heroin were trademarks of the Bayer. Aspirin is still trademarked by them in countries they didn't fight in WWI.

“People were tougher back then!” Yeah, you’d be tough too with cocaine, morphine, marijuana and belladonna cough syrup.

Bring back laudinum. Nothing like alcohol, morphine, and opium to make you feel better.

You have ghosts in your blood, you should do cocaine about it.

mom gave me a codeine-based cough syrup intended for adults when I was young, I hated it, still hate opioids with a burning passion.

Holy crap don’t let the republicans know about this or they’ll all be trying to sell it as another COVID cure!!
Zerosober
Now heroin is called Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Percocet and Fentanyl
DanielGayLewis
no... heroin is still called heroin. i promise.
Barkinsons
Opioids have their use, especially in surgery. They just lied about the addiction risk in chronic pain treatment
Harryteeters
Always upvote heroin!

The Doctor told to try cocaine and laudnum but try heroin and aspirin two days later.
TheWarHymn
Each pill works out to about 3 micrograms of heroin.
BlindGardener
Is that a lot?
homer4evr
Sick?! Have some cocaine about it.

Heroin is always good for a cough, you might still be coughing but you won't care.

My German isn't great, but doesn't "Farbenfabriken" mean paint factory?
heimeyer72
Yes. (I'm German.)

There weren't really drug companies then. One of the first drugs for treating hypothyroidism was made by a meat packing plant. Both the 1/

it *kind of* makes sense for them to get into the business. The sulfa drugs, the first antibiotics, were based on dyes. 3/3

$4.85 an ounce in 1901 is equal to $156.52 today.

But how many "doses" did you get?

I might be completely wrong. But wasn't Coca cola originally created by a french lady that enjoyed red wine with cocaine in it

Back in my day we trenched through 3 feet of snow for hours to get to school... Guess i now know what helped

Long Day's Journey into Night Eugene O'Neill. Set in 1912, featuring the character Mary Tyrone's morphine addiction, started by "medicine."

For when you got ghosts in your blood

Needs more cocaine.
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
No wonder why everyone was so skinny back then
TransAtheistMinister
Nah, cocaine makes your heart explode. Heroin just stops the heart from beating. Way easier.
Harryteeters
Ahh I see you're a Mitch Hedberg of culture, as well

That was for toothache.

LOL sheeeeyit, with those ingredients, I'd be falling down the hill both ways

IDK if this is true but my mom told me that they had to stop selling laudanum OTC in the 1920s because so many babies died
Cheechamarie
This is true
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
"Back in MY day, when we got sick we just had to tough it out..."
PlayerBhatin
makes those "up hill both ways" comments make more sense
GSA1386
Yea im not feeling too well ?. Gonna go home and take some heroin and sleep it off.
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
You misspelled Oxycontin :)
ligmabolz
And take some heroin

TBH, not the worst thing Bayer has made...

I always take two heroins when i’m sick…

Great, now I have the quote of "the radium water worked fine till his jaw fell off" in my head *shakes fist at tom scott*

Or cocaine
CooCooCaChew
Look at all your fancy processed drug bullshit. LEECHES!!! YOU BLEED THE SICK!
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
I mean it makes sense. how else do you get the ghosts out of your blood.

Cocaine in coke, meth in pep pills... No wonder they could work 12 hr days 7 days a week in factories.
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
For anyone curious opiods used to be given as antitusives because opiods suppress parts of the brain associated with coughing and yawning
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
They also suppress deep breathing and if you take enough they suppress your desire to breathe all together!
Thedewk
Sold!
Godryc
Which is why in some countries cough syrup still contains Codeine.
VodkaReindeer
Useful for guards in a war.
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
Lmao nah man that's amphetamines. Opiods would knock you out
VodkaReindeer
You don't wanna cough when doing a war in the dark. They really did use heroin for cough.
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
I'm not denying codeine use as an antitusive. I'm saying it wasn't distributed to you simply because you were a guard. It makes you sleepy.
phobosorbust
Sounds like a job for both. Like an espresso stout turned up to 11.
