RE: [iPad] Is This The iPad Group..?/drugs and sex in the 1800s

 

There were Opium dens, there was hashish, there was laudanum, there was cocaine, women took arsenic to keep a white milky complexion, there were even addictions to chloroform. As for sex, there were harlots mentioned in the Bible, that's before 1800 (lol)

    What did they have for drugs in the 1880s?   I don't even thing Marijuana was popular while I was in school in the 50's ….  And even early 60s where I lived.  …. And sex didn't happen as often as now, by any study I've seen.  There was little control available for pregnancy and getting pregnant was a BIG deal back then.
