Cocaine tablets (1900)
All stage actors, singers teachers and preachers had to have them
for a maximum performance. Great to "smooth" the voice.

Very popular for children in 1885.
Not only they relieved the pain, they made the children happy!

OMG! Damn the laws that stopped the production of these products!..I can't imagine cocaine would calm anyone's kids down!.....what a trip.
ReplyDeleteOh what I'd give for one bottle of the cokewine!!!!!Could I put ice in that one?
This is why they were referred to as 'the good ole days!'
ReplyDeleteGo back to a much better time, when things were so much simplier...cuz, they were stoned most of the time!
ReplyDeleteEverything is opinion and perception...
ReplyDeleteDylan said it best:
They'll stone you when you're trying to be so good. They'll stone you just like they said they would. They'll stone you when you're trying to go home. They'll stone you when you're there all alone. But I would not feel so all alone...Everybody must get stoned!
Amazing what now can land you in jail for quite some time when it once was totally legal. Thanks SER.
Tincture of cocaine is still used as a local anesthetic when suturing wounds. It is very good, short acting and works especially well on kids. Obviously it is a scheduled II drug. But remember, this stuff was all legal until 1932(?). Dr. Feelgood's tonic (and probably Shoop's) really didn't cure lumbago, but with what was it in, it sure felt good.
ReplyDelete"Bayer's Heroin" lol
ReplyDeleteI think Freud got pretty strung out on coke, didn't he?
wow....... my grandparents were druggies!!!
ReplyDeleteWait until the studies come on out some of the effects of chemicals we are using now...20 years from now, you can make the same picture with our current products!
ReplyDeleteKK, I like this one also by Kenny Rodgers and First Edition when he sang rock & roll...
ReplyDeleteI woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I'm just wondering: If someone had a bottle of this stuff in it's original bottle, could they be charge with possession of a controlled substance or would it be ex post facto?
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, but ex post facto does not pertain to controlled substances.
ReplyDeleteIf shooting a guy that was sleepling with your wife was legal today, you shot the asshole, then they passsed a law against it tomoorow, then ex post facto would apply.
When they make a substance controlled, all of it becomes controlled. The best example was prohibition. If you had bought liquor the day before, it was still illegal the day after.
The damn government has to wreck everything........gezzzz
ReplyDeleteman, I've been taking the wrong asthma meds, no wonder I still have trouble...
