      Yeah but wasn’t the coke of old meant to be a medicine or tonic of some sort?

        Basically all illegal drugs started as legal drugs aka medicine (Opium, Morphine, Heroin, etc). The distinction is a relatively recent development. Even today a drug store is a reputable business. A drug den not so much.

        Yeah Coca Cola was originally a “nerve tonic”. Coca leaves/extract were a regular ingredient of medicines, tonics, and even toothpaste.
