Things like the original “original” Coca-Cola and Vin Mariani. I wish they had kept the lithium citrate in 7Up :/

Probably on an equipotent basis like general awakeness, stimulation, inabillity to sleep

    According to Wikipedia, Coke had 9mg of caffeine in a glass. That’s like 1/4 of a small recreational dose today, but it was presumably purer than most street drugs today

      What was the cocaine or like coca extract equivalent content (setting the distinction between serotonin/norepinephrine/dopamine reuptake inhibitor vs adenosine antagonist aside)? Like yes it had caffeine from kola nut or something but in terms of cocaine?
