@Marechal Zolotoy Actually recreational drug use was very common in the cultures of Antiquity more so in the among "Civilized" peoples . In fact if you were a roman in addition to alcohol ways of getting lit included ‘cretic wine’ a drinkable form opium, cannabis, and DMT secreting fish called Sea Breams. Interestingly enough the Greek Physician Dioscoride becomes one first medical professionals to commit to writing that opium "kills" if over-ingested. Fun Bonus Fact: Marcus Aurelius may have been one the first notable recorded cases of prescription opioid addiction as his doctor gave him opium for chronic chest pains and soon he became to unable to sleep with out it.
