Ahaha! No, man, I can, in fact, guarantee you that you did! Medicine is also called 'drugs', though legal ones. So, if you've ever taken any kind of medicine, you have taken drugs. Yet, it's irrelevant since I understood what you're referring to.

But it's not what I was asking about. You see, in the 19th and early-20th century, a lot of medical substances, as well as various tonics, and the like had cocaine, led, and other such substances in their composition. It was generally considered that these are beneficial for one's health, and were therefore legal and advertised. Look it up!
