Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over
the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists
Said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,
regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian
of health."

A lot of people must have been following their pharmacist's advice.
